Anyhow, Wikipedia is totally one of the best things on the Internet. It is a wonder of the world. Anil is correct when he says those of us who’ve supported it over the years need to take a deep breath and not let the fascist bastards grind us down. Anyone who hates truth is an enemy.

The worst kind of open source maintainer is the one who is “too busy to merge PRs into their project” but is also unwilling to find another maintainer to take it over.
I’m trying to decide if I should fork overmind right now; I really don’t want to, but I also need features that *were merged* […]

Hey, shoppers, it’s your dedicated plumber/janitor/carpenter/butler here, letting you know that there will be some downtime this weekend — hopefully brief! — while I upgrade a component of the shop.
In an ideal world, this will be very short. Fingers crossed!

I upgraded my work computer to macOS Tahoe and (as @bitprophet may find hilarious) it has inspired me to be pretty much indifferent to upgrading my personal laptop similarly.

Attached: 1 video The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere, and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. #Andor #Hope

But I have contempt for the “look at these people talking about trying, I will sneer at them“ people who contribute nothing to anything or anybody.

Reading over my old blog entries as I do some much needed cleanup work on the older posts is mostly excellent, but seeing the links to the blogs of ex-friends and lapsed social ties is a melancholy experience.
There are people in here that I have lost as friends, and that still hurts every day.
