If it's a buzzword (it is, a horrible one), why does #idg put it in headlines?
Looks like I can stop waiting for the GPD Pocket 2 - from the first product pictures posted over on the Pyra forums, they dropped the trackpoint and it's going to be touchscreen-only for pointing. ☹️

The Mastodon drama about trending tags makes me glad all my free software is unpopular. I’m not taking this kind of talk at work where I get paid thousands a month – I’m sure as hell not willing to be treated like that for less.

I love this open source laptop

@ckeen Have you considered https://www.dragonbox.de/de/571-gpd-win-rev-25-z8750-aluminium-deckel-handhelds-4260416651807.html

I think it's really interesting to follow Dave Winer (inventor of RSS) on Twitter - he's very concerned about the current push towards HTTPS.
He's afraid raising the secrity bar will make the web less open and less accessible. And he's right; adding technical requirements favours the entrenched big players with big budgets.
Dave also fears for the historic web, in the (unlikely?) event that browser vendors actually deprecate HTTP.
I don't agree with everything he says, but the POV has value.
Failing again at trying get accustomed to a modern Linux system. All this indirection with command line tools where I could just edit a few simple config files before makes me want to puke.
I think I need to get some counseling... I know this aversion isn't sustainable - and I'll need to deal with this stuff for many years to come.
At the same time I'm really too tired to fight the state of the Linux universe after fighting against the Windows mainstream for decades...
@catonano There's also a really good preface in SICM (Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics) where they tear apart how bad much of mathematical notation is. I also had a conversation with Sussman in person where I admitted how bad I am at reading math notation and he said "everyone has a hard time, because mathematical notation is a natural language"
A natural language! I never thought of it that way.
I hate the "robots are immortal" meme.
You ever seen an 80 year old computer? No? That's because an 80 year old computer is a
whole lot harder to keep running than an 80 year old human.
There are plenty of thirty year old computers around, but, you know what? I'll bet their survival rate is lower than 30 year old people, even when those people in question subsist on gas station hot dogs and coca cola.
Auf der #gpn18 angekommen.
just noticed the code for my game EXO_encounter 667 currently consists of exactly 667 lines.
welp, I guess I can never change it.
