if I were to start a patreon or some similar thing to fund and document the development of #mollytime and related projects, would you be likely to subscribe?

the things I have in mind are documenting the ground up rewrite of the UI that's underway, writing documentation and tutorials for how to use it, porting to new platforms, workflow videos, making FOSS games with it, and also odds and ends like open hardware projects

My favorite thing about this slopmonger is that his OpenClaw or whatever sent a "polite" reply before the human driving it earned himself a permaban. We really need a shared blocklist for this sort of asshole. https://github.com/glyph/PINPal/pull/32

live by the sprach, die by the spiel I suppose

I realize that you cannot go to therapy FOR your constituents, and this is in large part the language that critical parts of the electorate *understand* and resonate with, and in a lot of cases the people doing this schlock _are_ doing politics in a way that I can't really manage because of my obsession with semantics. but god damnit words _should_ mean things

like I wish people would just go to therapy and come to terms with the idea that politics is a necessary task that needs doing and not just constantly, publicly live out the liberal fever-dream psychodrama that we were at the promised end of history where their ticky-tack technocratic twiddling and nudging was the only politics left to do, and if we could only claw our way back there again everything would be okay, everything would be okay forever

I love that former conservatives and libertarians are abandoning the republican party in droves right now but listening to some of them talk, or anyone left of Darth Maul attempting to talk *to* them, makes me feel like I'm going insane. or at the very least that I don't know what the words "politics", "left", "right", "liberal" or "conservative" mean

"this is beyond politics. what we need to do now is not political, it's human. we need to come together and [use political power to affirm a now-controversial ideological position that was formerly a broad consensus]"

"it's about the top versus the bottom, not about the [political party that represents the top] versus the [political party that represents the bottom]"

"It's not about 'left' or 'right', it's just that we have to have the basic decency to [dictionary definition of a center-left political platform]"

“In religious studies and sociology, the pizza effect is the phenomenon of elements of a nation's or people's culture being transformed or at least more fully embraced elsewhere, then re-exported to their culture of origin, or the way in which a community's self-understanding is influenced by (or imposed by, or imported from) foreign sources.”

This is true. Another thing I did not know before today

@glyph @xgranade the c in cmake stands for carcosa

@rogerlipscombe @glyph tryeeee

OR WILL SHE 🤔?!

if you are keen to figure it out you can work by process of elimination because she will not be faving or boosting this thread

@glyph @0x2ba22e11 I do actually think web components have a distinct benefit here, in that a web component is more portable it can be dropped into a t.w.t/jinja2/php rendered app, a static html page, or a react/vue app with relative ease.

But I agree about the lack of will. Especially since so many people are willing to not give a shit at "machine speed".

Do you have a paid AI subscription?

weirded out by Microsoft's security blog being like "we confirmed with Anthropic that they did not develop the malicious package." And the Cursor blog also said something similar. Like, yeah, uh, normally we take it for granted that these things are done by criminals who broke into something. It's like confirming the jewelry store didn't smash their own windows

But I guess when an industry has cultivated a reputation for suddenly committing crimes and shrugging and saying rogue AI just does that sometimes,,,

(Microsoft confirms that the backdoored Claude plugin never made it to the vanilla VS Code distribution channel, so I'll consider that settled.)

I like my spouse quite a bit but after the last few years I am very happy to have been spared the indignity of being a Wife Guy by her strong desire to maintain airtight operational security.

and look, the clues are there if you want to go digging, this is not a *secret*, but I hope that it’s obvious that a link to her socials in the replies would not be a particularly thoughtful gesture
