Meanwhile here in reality, quick question. Just to make sure this is the end times, can we rapture this monster first?

A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says it’s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.

My five year old workstation with a terabyte of RAM is probably something I could trade in for a new car! Back of the envelop: 18 grand!

If there's anything I've learned from squatting on @nickelback here on Blue Sky, its that Canada has some **amazing** cross continental trains. And I think that's important. We are all much happier on trains.

Next charlatan to use the terms "prompt engineering" or "vibe coding" loses a finger (see: "Spies Like Us", starring Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd).

"Mine or yours?"

"Yours."

When the "expert" on open source software governance tramples on all the literal rules memorialized in your project charter ... That's Machiavellian, baby!
(But, seriously, wtf?) Perhaps merely a complete lack of self-awareness.

It’s a little known fact that @amazon web services originated with Amazon’s management of French rail engineers in the 19th century.

Thanks to @unitedhealtcare.bsky.social Americans now spend more money on health care than on food or utilities. We don’t need the middle man. Let’s get rid of these companies that make money off denying us health care and god to single payer!!

Well, he made his money getting Netscape to be almost as good as working in a terminal. THEN he spent that windfall saying wrong things over and he over because he’s never worked again.

Today’s the day for my periodic observation that “software” is a pre-requisite for “open source software” … so the open source software project should probably focus to some extent on software. I wish I was kidding.
