When I see messages like "taking some personal time off", sometimes I wonder what kind of pain is hidden behind the veil. Did they stare at the ceiling for hours? Did they walk aimlessly in a concrete jungle? Or did they stand at the precipice, wondering if they should cast themselves into the sea?

What that means is _you_ will be left. The people with passion will be left, everyone else will be chasing the next boom and bust. Because these people never cared about software, they cared about the money they made from it.
I can't be more happy to see them leave, I rather work with you.

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

please don't, i avoid them too - after my stunt in minecraft modding i wish to never deal with a funny license for something important ever again
when I was at google, their class on licenses basically said "we can't use any license that's funny"
so I suggest everyone license their software as funny as possible
so I suggest everyone license their software as funny as possible
finally a normal software license that definitely holds up really well

Please only do this if you don't want *anyone* to use your code, or it isn't a library. There is no way for me to vet every author of every dependency I use, and even if I did, what if they go crazy in 10 years? Actually fixing the open-source license ecosystem should involve lawyers, not memes.

If we solve aging, appreciating transience becomes more, not less, important.
Imagine some 500-year-old dude still trying to RETVRN to 90s Pizza Hut.
Things will still change and evolve, and you will have to learn to deal with things you love being in the *very* distant past.

I occasionally see college kids say stupid nonsense and it almost always comes down to: a lot of people are VERY different from you. Not "different" in a way you can understand, but operating in a completely alien mindset beyond your comprehension. It takes a LONG time to really internalize this.

this applies to several republican representatives right now and i think it would be very good practice to observe it.
the correct way to handle truly odious defections from an enemy is just to refrain from spitting on them. you don't have to make friends with them and you absolutely shouldn't trust them. just refrain from spitting on them when they are attacking your enemies

eternal frustration at 100,000 people listening to a random youtube upload of a deleted WIP of Solar Noise even though the final song was uploaded to my own youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp, and a preview put on newgrounds, because apparently nobody ever actually looks at any of my websites ever????

I think the important lesson to take from the Tea Party/MAGA over the last two decades is that it makes more sense to take over a political party than it does to split off and create a new one.
Threaten to primary every Democratic seat you can and then follow through.

Looking at the GOP acting electorally suicidally and saying “they’re not acting like they’re planning on having elections” is like watching someone driving 90mph at a brick wall and being like “wow they must have figured out a way for this not to kill them.”

Each subsequent Silksong update nerfs a different set of enemies and it's very funny seeing tryhard gamers being like "oh the game is too easy now" like dude even Team Cherry has realized they massively fucked up the balance on release.
