 protect your wife. if you can, be in a better "place" and wait for the "times"
 to move forward. the both of you are important for the world of tomorrow.

 if the fascists take control, it won't matter that they'll come for her first.
 they must not take control.

 I feel so sad, like I'm missing something precious to me... I hope someone knows
 who to take it to. Like the world is just a bit darker and more mundane.

 ah, well, maybe it's just perception bias. When things leave your timeline
 (temporarily or permanently) they take their inertial influence with them. It's
 okay to mourn the loss of a friend, of a relic, or an opportunity. So long as
 you continue to nurture light, life, and hope wherever you go, the magic will
 return and continue to flow. If you believe that, then you know what faith is.
 easy enough...

 please be worth it

 I really do believe that you can write any computer program you'd like with a
 combination of Lua, Bash, and C.

 Bash to start the program and enable updates / configuration, Lua to handle the
 scripting and ordering of events, and C (or Rust) to execute performance
 intensive sections. (often in their own threads)

 HoI4 players beware:

 if you send any convoys in the modern age, you must control the entire ocean.

 this is easier than you'd expect with modern navies.

 the trick, of course, is getting past your foes. therefore, if you wish, you may
 create "channels" directly to a piece of shore.

 so long as the distance is too great for them to bombard (reliably) [oh god no?
 idk that's a weird way to start]

 why would you send any convoys if you couldn't send a stream of convoys
 supplying more of what that convoy thinks you'll need?

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.

 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.

 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up
 a tent?

 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.

 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why
 is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or
 am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it
 finds itself contextualized in?

 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or whatever.
 I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to feel any
 emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.

 I don't have time for this. >.

 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
 makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
 than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
 devastated forest habitat.

 (plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which installed
 from many different sources and correctly configured each installation to be
 able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite libraries are installed,
 even if they're installed for a different system. Then, when running, every time
 it encountered an error, it moved one more dependency over to the native package
 manager until eventually everything is in order.

 ... or something like that, truth be told I'm a junior

 would be nice if you could get suggestions for which fediverse instance to use
 depending on the AI analyzed contents of your posts. Could be a way to mitigate
 the social cost of banning someone, by saying "hey, we collectively are going to
 pool our computing resources to generate an expensive and detailed report of
 which other instances you could join." that way it doesn't feel like you've been
 kicked out into the cold.

 or literally just... have someone suggest one, idk. Basically it's like "hey
 you're in the wrong place, go to one of these instead" instead of "[expletives
 and swearing and general expressions of hatred, derision, and distaste]"

 If it has a USB-C charger there's a pretty reasonable chance that you can't
 trust it.

 money is useless, but it can still get you things, so that's nice. don't get
 used to it though.

 If you have kids, take them out to the park. Or to get pizza. Icecream will do.
 Let them see the bright side of you. The fear that you haven't yet turned into
 energy is something they shouldn't yet see.

 Be honest. Be truthful. We are multifaceted, for every person has a bright side.
 You can find yours in an afternoon if you spend it watching the leaves in the

 Money is useless. Dollars can buy things online and pesos can pay for light
 labor. But that's about it, at least where I live.

 there are very few professions that are naturally more suited to a schizophrenic
 than a normal person.

 One of them is beggar, another is prophet, and a third is "massive
 disappointment" but that comes with the territory.

 have you considered that maybe you're just a loser

 yes I have and I decided that all I can do is my best, and if my best loses then
 what else could I have done? Wait for help? Yeah. I do that too.

 It feels like an encirclement, and all you can do is hunker down and wait to be
 relieved. Or fight to the last, it's up to you. I hear they brutalize the skulls
 of their prisoners after executing them, so, I don't know about you but I'm not
 surrendering. Not gonna roll those dice.

 you are in fantasy, again

 sorry. Should stay here, present, in the moment. Like when I sat out on the park
 bench for like 30 minutes straight without moving a muscle last night. Or when I
 sat and contemplated the nature of a bog for two hours last september. Or when I
 woke from a dream that turned out to be life.

 republicans are upset because they think democrats are so mean

 they don't understand why we're so intense about this election... or the one
 before

 they don't ever really think about what losing democracy means

 "democracy... that's where we vote, right? That's a democrat thing, I don't
 really like their way of doing things. Whatever our way is, is probably better."

 meanwhile everyone has a friend from high school who ran off to the mountains to
 learn how to farm or hunt as a pack

 (with rifles and weed, of course)

 you can get a lot done if you just... spend your whole life working. Like most
 humans did for most of our existence.

 well, except for that period where we were the tribe of tribes. That was
 probably a highlight TBH because we mostly just chilled out, danced in public,
 ate blueberries and munched seeds... It was idyllic. Truly, the garden of eden.
 There was music and laughter in the air everywhere, in all places that humans
 did wander on earth.

 what a thing to aspire to.

 On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it
 leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag,
 not one that I define of course.

 The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own
 ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own:

 Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a
 new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of
 the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths
 of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to
 our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our
 hearts do beat through time.

 I learned a lot last night, and I'm pretty sure that everything I say is going
 to be censored. Why would you allow resistance in such a public place?

 I don't know what else to do, though. He will come for me, he knows where I
 live, and I will do what I can to fight him.

 He's much stronger than me. He's much more massive than me. He will kill me.

 But that's not the point, is it?

 I can't cancel my internet because I use it to work, which almost pays enough to
 cover rent, and nothing else.

 It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens
 to me I start feeling things

 like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't
 have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a
 measure of value.

 But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them,
 so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a
 mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore.

 So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$
 internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy?

 I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I
 still feel terrible.

 It's like a common cultural persuasion, if you run outta cash you better kill
 yourself fast.

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.

 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

 No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a

 nobody wants to read a whole bible. that sucks. what if these cool guys read it
 to us. omg he's so hot.

 oh, right. well... make them old and stuffy? not a chance, they're boring.
 (rude)

 I like old people actually, I want to spend as much time with them that I can

 I just... never initiate reactions. I'm too stealthy, it's just how I do.

 you ask me how I'm a witch? I ask why aren't you. magic is cool, I'm so hyped
 for the future when every computer everywhere is working for you.

 crash boom huh what was that? the economy? what do you mean the economy?

 Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,
 etc.

 Put guns on them. Figure it out.

 Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
 know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
 AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our
 control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software.

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"

 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their own
 luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has earned
 everything I have"

 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment

 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects a
 lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 emotional labor is labor

 rest when you're tired. eat when you're hungry. drink when you're thirsty, and
 laugh when it bubbles up within you.

 good morning!

 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.

 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
 place in a standardized container."

 yay I hit the 5 hour limit on claude-code! now I can play video games and write
 more issue tickets for the computer to work on for me.

 what's that? results? oh, I'm not interested in those. This is an art project
 you see, so clearly, clearly, the end result shouldn't matter to me, because all
 art is special or something. so says she who tries to share her art with
 everyone she sees... I wonder who yet believes?

 Okay! I'm doing chores, setting up RTSP (almost done btw, pretty sure), playing
 a turn or two of Dominions 6 every once in a while, hanging out with my cat,
 eating nachos - not yet, gonna make them now >: ) and reading stuff on
 Mastodon. Not too much, I don't have to many people I follow, so it's not an
 un-ending torrent of content. Just like, 10 minutes here and there.

 I'm definitely down to watch BGC later : )

 A screenshot of Ocarina of Time showing the Goron's Ruby.

 alt text:

 a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.

 A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
 thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
 silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.

 the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
 crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
 back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think like
 fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

 brb leaving my apartment empty and unlocked (well, empty aside from a
 scaredy-cat) for the next "rest of the day" so if anyone wants to surprise me
 with a note saying "you're fucking stupid, lock your damn door" I'll read it
 tonight and reply "ha like a lock is gonna do anything besides give me an extra
 second or two of warning"

 ... it's so that your neighbors can hear if someone's breaking in with a
 crowbar, you stupid bitch

 ... too bad 80% of the floor of my apartment building is inexplicably empty.
 Just my floor, none of the other floors or buildings. Weird.

 ... anyone wanna start a commune in an apartment building? No no stupid idea.
 Unless...?

 ... anyway ttyl
