 Ya'll are so upset because it feels like you failed, that this country failed
 you, that everything is doomed because this country is not the one you thought
 it was, all these takes and vibes.

 They're all fucking wrong.

 Tens of millions of us voted the other way.
 Tens of millions of us voted for democracy.
 Tens of millions of us voted for liberty.

 That is a fuckload of people. We're far stronger than they are. I pray we are
 bolder as well.

 the reason the right is hurt that you'd celebrate charlie's death is because
 they hired an actor to perform him to one side and he does his natural self to
 the other. maybe he was a really big cutie, nobody can tell, because it's pretty
 much like hand-waving on narkina 12.

 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

 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)

 rents are significantly reduced (proportional to the rest of income)             │

 only some people feel existential [peril/fear] at the concept of a trump
 presidency.

 I'm trans, I feel it so hard I considered sedition.

 it felt like a reasonable reaction. probably just means I've been calibrated to
 a certain level of revengeance through my knowledge of history and the arts.

 I learned so much about systems, I saw the inextricable truth of the merits of
 the design of capitolistic [shared societal conventions, but pronounced
 "conventions"]. I also learned of what it means to wield ideology as a weapon
 for mass power/cultural gains.
 I see now that no matter the merits or faults of any system, power accretes in
 the unworthy. They say this is because others they work with just don't want to
 deal with them anymore. This isn't always true, in-fact with stronger bonds the
 relationship is more secure [also true, but I said it earlier in the sentence].

 jeez, interrupt much?

 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.

 I think it'd be neat if people took newspapers onto grayhounds and distributed
 them around, one in each city, or maybe others around. It's easy for that stuff
 to get lost... or someone could scribble on it, weird notes in the margins that
 only sorta make sense. like they were written for someone else. rained on, too.
 Like, you pretty much have to leave them under gazebos or maybe awnings or other
 covered-under-a-roof's.

 can you imagine if they had TSA at highway checkpoints

 government is not the way, it's just... not. we don't need it anymore. We can
 just, be cool with each other, as if we were all one human race.

 anarchism wasn't a philosophy, it was a prophecy. this portention defined the
 philosophy, or maybe it was the other way around. either way, it's of the
 future, and trust me when I say it has it's downsides. Especially in an era of
 AI. But what are you gonna do, demand state run media? lol. absolute lmao.

 An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.

 like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
 hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
 icon gesture at something.

 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.

 give it time

 everything cooperative needs buy-in from everyone involved

 and sometimes things spontaneously develop 15 leaps per day when things are
 suddenly changing every day

 on days that all feel the same

 nothing develops

 we just put more ideas in our head

 that might be useful...

 one day if we're lucky. Or maybe unlucky depending on how it goes.

 if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.

 if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
 variable as the only data in it.

 kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would
 work on files in addition to variables

 (also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of
 them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)

 I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
 programming language that can be used with a controller

 perhaps for accessibility purposes?

 I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
 used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
 they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill of
 design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.

 ... never got around to implementing it though.

 whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
 behind it.

 consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
 child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.

 consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
 it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.

 like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.

 I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
 give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
 "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"

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

 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).

 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
 space that Star Fox didn't do better!

 Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are tbh
 more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
 physical.

 make sure you get full disk encryption! I hear it's quite important, but I can't
 use it because I'm an artist and if I like, died or whatever, nobody would be
 able to get my art.

 though knowing the reasons why I might suddenly die, odds are they'd just
 reflash the drives with windows or whatever xD

 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
 chance untaken.

 you should update the directories at the top yourself, of course. And give it a

 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."

 you see, so clearly, clearly, the end result shouldn't matter to me, because all

 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.

 Fuck that. Oops cursing mentioned, one s

 They're too busy scrambling over optics that honestly they probably should have
 seen coming

 "oh but the debate" yeah, well, some other important stuff happened too, because
 why would you NOT sneak unpopular legislation into a bill? Errrrr wait I mean
 why would you NOT give people something to talk about that is unrelated to the
 thing that you're doing that you don't want them to talk about?

 Hmmm. Doesn't really roll off the tongue. Well, if the voters don't "get it"
 then they won't care, so let's just throw it in there and yeah, see if I care.

 Optics don't matter if people's minds won't change. We've already voted, we just
 haven't realized yet.
