nvim is nice because you can make addons or plugins or whatever in Lua, which
is the easiest language in the world.
I think VSCode sucks - it's literally a web browser that views your own code,
and it's made by Microsoft so it probably SENDS it to them too. Probably.
I like nvim because it's just Vim except you can use more plugins (the ones
written in Lua)

Picture this: BASH, except every command automatically generates an "undo"
command which is the exact inverse of whatever the interpreter executed. These
undo commands are stored in a file and you can move forward, backward, and jump
around like you're a chronomancer.

Hey does anyone have a link to that paper where they used wifi waves on hacked
insecure routers to "see" through walls and build a decent enough visualization
of what a person's doing to be roughly equivalent to full-body-tracking in VR?
I want to see if I can make it work for VR (with consent)

Lemme guess, the C-suite executives have profit as their main goal, right?
And they utilize their laboring force of citizens to generate profit which is
given to the ~~crown~~ shareholders as tribute for their benevolent
grace and favor bestowed upon *checks notes* the C-suite executives,
right?
Kinda sounds like taxation without representation to me. One sec, where's my
darn musket I'm always leaving it somewhere strange like under the couch
cushions or taped underneath my desk or hidden in the curtains right next to
the window that has the best vantage point of the surrounding street.

The trick is to phrase your "divine insight" into a question. Like "don't you
think that perhaps this strange intuition you're feeling might have something
to do with the subconscious pattern matching capability humans developed over
long years of differentiating tree-branches and snakes or uneven terrain and
solid footing?"
then if someone says "what the heck no I never thought that because I don't
know anything about humans"
then you say "oh well that's surprising, perhaps you should look into it"
and then they come back later and say "how exactly did you know that
information? It's not public knowledge"

It's a script I wrote that downloads and configures MTG-forge, the free and
open source version of Magic. It's a little old, a little jank, but you get all
the cards for free. All the way up to the most current expansions.
Multiplayer is a bit harder than Arena, I think it's bugged or something, but
it's great for testing out decks against a computer. If I like one then I'll
usually buy it to play with my IRL friends.

It isn't greedy to scrape the bottom of the pot when serving the last of a
home-cooked meal.
Just as it isn't greedy to expect the labor of our ancestors to provide a
common decent standard of living.
For our children's children's children, the ones we'll never meet, we work for
tomorrow. But still, we should not labor in pain.
There will come a day when our science and our progress may deliver us from our
fate of fatigue, and perhaps that day may have come sooner if we had been
better organized.
But it will come when we build it. That bright future is waiting for us, and I
do believe that we may live to see it ourselves.
But for now, 9-5.
For now, labor unionizing.
For now, rice and beans.

Trump is not fascism, Trump is a face. Just as the map is not the territory, or

However, I think I understand how you're feeling. Please don't be frightened.
When a deer is transfixed by headlights, it is sure to meet it's end.
You understand the peril, perhaps not how it manifests but you know it's name.
Now is the time to build bonds with people you can trust, and to learn how to
get things done. The more you learn, the more capable you are, the less afraid
you'll become.

Building community without structure is kinda like being a quest-giving
non-player character in World of Warcraft.
I don't mean that you stand around waiting for a player to wander nearby before
shouting at them to do what you want. Not like that.
Building community without structure is more like meeting someone randomly,
knowing them for longer than a bus ride or a baseball game, and once you've
decided that they're cool saying "hey there's someone you might like to meet."
If they're into it, then talk to the other person, and see if they want to make
a new friend. Try not to recommend someone who has a lot on their mind.
If they hit it off, great!
If not, oh well!
Worst case scenario the coffee shop only sells two drinks.
If you're gregarious enough, after a while you might even have enough people
for a potluck. Just don't forget to keep adding, and eventually it'll start to
feel more communal.

We've always been that way in their eyes. If they make it legal, nothing will
change in how people think of you. They might be a bit bolder if there's fewer
legal protections, but laws have always just been words.
There are more of us than there are of them. If you have community, you'll feel
safer. I know it's scary but we can get through it together.
