Is i3 still the state of the art in tiling window managers?

Flying pigs are supposed to be the epitome of the impossible, and yet the grocery store is careful to specify that this is ground pork.

The #Republican brand is a potent blend of irrationality, immorality, and imbecility. It has no connection to conservatism, ethics, or governance.

I'm now convinced that the root of the OpenAI fiasco is that they successfully invent Skynet in the future but failed to program it to love humanity.

So one of the board members is a time traveler sent back by the resistance to prevent the creation of Skynet. But since they're a pacifist instead of using guns, they're using boardroom shenanigans. 😆

My #emacs find of the day is that imenu works well in most magit buffers.

eg. select a commit, M-x imenu, rejoice

I feel like every person born before 1980 has a baby photo of them being bathed in a kitchen sink and I have a theory that most of it stopped when people got dishwashers and realized it was a much more convenient way to clean their children.

Wankpanzer! wtf!

I tried to sign up to #matrix today. The process is.. not fun. Maybe it is the web client, maybe it is the matrix, but it took multiple tries and VPN hopping due to some errors about too many requests. And when I get into it, it seems the client is not able to be opened in multiple tabs at the same time? Like, what the actual fuck. Is there some command line client that would fit both "lightweight" and "working" definitions?

I've always read that global variables are bad.

Arch Linux is a great wiki that happens to ship a distro as a side hustle.

Tabs vs Spaces

#Hiroshima #Child

I come and stand at every door
But none can hear my silent tread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead for I am dead

I’m only seven though I died
In Hiroshima long ago
I’m seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow

My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind

I need no fruit I need no rice
I need no sweets nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead for I am dead

All that I need is that for peace
You fight today you fight today
So that the children of this world
Can live and grow and laugh and play

Hmmm, maybe I can move some of my shell scripts over to #Rust using #RustScript:

I initially thought about doing that with Go since Go is a bit more ergonomic for just spiffing out code IMHO, but the tooling around Rust is simply surpassing Go at an incredible pace.

I've been thinking of how to express what I think about the Burning Man situation, but this guy just did it perfectly.

Fuck Burning Man.
