If you then bend down to pick it up and then also have your fork slip off your plate as a result, I hear it's fatal, but most people die eventually so it's hard to say

You ever have a knife slip off your plate onto the floor and be like, welp, its atoms are now misaligned, guess I'll just throw it into the trash when I circle back

All I'm saying is that I'm glad Hank Green does not live near a casino. Absolutely no one let him start counting cards

Hank Green can't reject anything because that would be too simple, too coarse, too exclusionary. I'm glad he's not like a manager or anything like that. That would be crazy

I'm not surprised they got Hank Green. That guy is an artisean well of Dopamine high on Internet lightning rod shavings. He has literally never not super-sized his meal.

This guy single-handedly ruining a company woven into decades of music history

Here is a wise person who rejects the streamlining of our interesting lives

Oh look, another optimization for something that no one asked for that we have to undo

One thing that really makes me sad when the first line of a repo’s readme has “with help from Claude” is the apparent diligence with “giving credit” to a nonexistent person, as if Anthropic doesn’t have immense disdain and ingratitude for the struggles and meaning of the work they ate.

On top of that, it’s voluntary and free advertising. It’s like going out of your way to put “Made with the help of Microsoft 365” in the header of your documents. I cannot take someone like this seriously, but it crushes my soul all the same.

Really fucking sick of GNU’s public urination habit

Massive kudos to #gnome for their no-AI contribution policies and adoption of language that refuses to anthropomorphize LLMs. Respect.

Mark Zuckerberg has got to be one of the sleaziest people alive, I swear

I doubt any of my followers need to hear this, but I just have to say that people need to take ruthless control of their devices and anyone who changes things or gets in your face needs to get thrown out on their ass.

If some stranger came into your house and replaced all of your furniture, or knocked on your door every day to tell you to use some service, you’d freak the fuck out. So freak the fuck out and stop being nice to people who fuck up your shit over and over again. They don’t care about you and they never will.

Let kids be places. Let kids see shit. Stop making their world smaller.

You can’t raise a kid in Vault 101 and expect them to be prepared for the world and not have a social media problem. Be an available, open-minded parent. Fucking be there when things go sideways. It will. Want to “protect kids”? Make the actual, real wasteland of a world kinder and more forgiving. Quit worrying about fucking apps you god-damned psychos

What a discouraging time to care about craft.

I wish people would just fork big projects losing their way and stop wasting their time trying to fight a screwed up culture.

I know it's not trivial, but I don't think we give ourselves enough credit. Open source projects weren't gifted to us by God, they came to being because people banded together. Believe in yourselves, live your principles, and get like-minded people together!

#blender more like #blunder amirite

Absolutely called it when I first heard about #meshcore. Uncooperative, antisocial, controlling, fragile ego. And yeah I’m talking about Kirby. Has no business making anything for anyone with his attitude. Good on the group for forking though. I randomly checked up on this and saw there was a blog post *today*. What a mess.
