Nothing stirs the soul quite like a battle of attrition.

Every day I get closer to implementing an activitypub CMS from scratch 🤪

I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

Speculating about computer hardware pricing impact 

I'm legit really curious what will happen should bleeding-edge memory, GPUs, and hard drives become inaccessible for regular consumers. Speculating, my hunch is:

1. Most consumers will simply not upgrade unless things break
2. Instead of buying new, more people will buy refurbished instead
3. This will open up the market for new vendors selling hardware 5-10yrs behind the bleeding edge
4. We'll start hearing more about performance-per-dollar

My resolution for the New Year is to attack and dethrone God.

Happy new year! May you bend the world to your will!

I wish Javascript had a nice array slice primative (for objects). Or structs I could allocate on the stack. 🥲

Thankful that I learned C as my first "serious" programming language before I got set in my ways. Kinda wish I had more excuses to use it (or Rust tbh) at work. Garbage collected langs low key irk me even though I'm so used to them.

It's really hard not to get mad over the wonderful coworkers I lost so that Google could offer shareholders $70 billion in stock buybacks.

Oracle should buy one or more of the big AI companies so our cyberpunk dystopia can get even more cliche.

Recommendation systems that aim to maximize time spent scrolling should be illegal.

Huh. I wonder how sighted people like it.

If you get it, boost it.

Even if voting ian't always a great way of choosing paths, I think at least 80% of those involved should actually choose something they beliece in even if they don't think anyone there will necessarily want to choose their option. Even if the option is "none of the above", tbh.

An example of me making life harder on myself for fun. The other is running linux and hoping stuff will compile properly when I try to install them.
