Pay for independently-developed software if you care about it continuing to exist. Steal from corporations all you want. But support independent devs (and small teams) to make sure they can keep maintaining the tools you love and rely on. It’s the only way to not get swallowed by the big dogs.

Fight fight fight!

We can have a UFC match at the white house. It’ll be awesome. Wait…

Changing where you live can really reverse what you’re describing, but I know that’s not always realistic. I live in the Bay Area and I’m middle-aged. The dating pool is full of people who my values and who like doing stuff I’m into, like going to live music and rocking out. Less than with younger people, but that’s about stamina more than interests.

If I lived in the midwest, where my family all live, there’d be nothing. Conservative bland bullshit. Dunno where you live, but something to consider.

And contributing money to shitbags allows them to keep funding terrible values. See Musk.

I’m sorry, but poor Kensworth threw up and had to take the rest of the day off work. We should probably compensate him with millions of dollars of tax-payer money.

Imagine… people with light and dark skin holding hands. Jeebus.

Dude, have you not heard about Stan? Oh, dude he’s super dark. Like, way worse than Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dalmer. If you wanna be hardcore, worship Stan.

Well, I know who’s gonna take a beating when the bubble pops and the market falls out from under them. What a stupid decision.

“Hey guys, this AI thing is gonna be like this forever. We’ll never lack for insane demand ever again.”

Remember how Jesus pulled out a demon (or demons) named Legion? They’re in me and I desperately need this woman’s help. Please. I’m suffering.

Edit: Actually, this could have got me to go to church.

My friend was blathering on about Cory Doctorow two decades ago and I knew the name, had maybe read a little bit. I was kind of annoyed how ofter he brought him up. Man did he come out ahead of me on that. This guy articulates the ills of society so well.

We got to rent time on one of these that very summer in an arcade-like coffee shop (or something, I was young, I don’t remember) in NYC. Everything was in Japanese, but Mario was running around in an open world and it blew our minds.

Sexually assaulting, murdering children, taking selfies in ladies’ lingerie like a bunch of perverts.

What a byline.

I love you, friend.

One fascist boot-licker downvoted me. Hey fascist, no one here likes you.

When they released the M5 MacBook Pro, it was the same week that they introduced the Neo. I expected the MBP price to go up and I’d been planning to buy a new computer this year, so I was mad at Sam Altman for fucking the supply chain. But the Neo happened the same week and they obviously had a price-point planned. They couldn’t raise prices on any of them or the Neo’s marketing splash would be sullied by price increases. I couldn’t believe my luck.

I got my new MBP at last year’s pricing because I knew it wouldn’t last. Lucky me.

The kids are alright. (I don’t use that word in the real world because it’s improper spelling. It’s a music reference, all right?)

Fuck dumbass tech {m/b}illionaires.

Jerry Seinfeld can eat a back of dicks for being a zionist shitbag.

Politicians who don’t understand technology (and some that do) will continue advocating for a break in encryption “so they can catch the bad guys.”

No, you fuck. Either it’s protected or it’s not. I’ve just been listening to the latest podcast from 404 Media (you should check them out; print and audio). One of their primary stories is about cops accessing Flock cameras to stalk their ex-partners. AUTHORITY NEEDS LIMITS.

Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using Flock to Stalk People

The best part about getting old with a beer belly is being in a loving relationship with someone who can see past that and not caring at all. The last time I smashed my face with a hammer was never.

Sucks to be young people these days, though.
