Sleepless, drama fuelled brain : Tech is not just white male centric, it is increasingly not ashamed of its assholery. Case in point, “Open Source “. It is FREE and Open source. It is political by definition. So turds like ESR and the rest dropped the Free and made it apolitical. Cut to today.

Heh. This movie really did talk about the relationship between US government and the dirty rag that New York Times is, even if it was a single but crucial sentence.

I'm watching "3 days of Condor". What bullshit. Not the CIA plot but the other plot. Eeeeee.

Got my performance review.

Me: “I’ll play Balatro for maybe an hour and then get to things” Me: “why is it suddenly so dark outside “ (><)

I will never call Gesundbrunnen Nordkreuz

Vegans take note.

When the holepunch is stuck, and everyone has to have a go at fixing it 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums "The Mechanics Monument", unveiled in 1901, sculpted by Douglas Tilden, at Market, Bush, and Battery Streets in San Francisco 😁 Thanks @monstrousjaffa.bsky.social and @agreeableuser.bsky.social for sharing!

Even though I am the High Commander, I sometimes have to admit that I am ignorant. Do not drink 60ml of port wine if you have the flu.

India exported pharmaceuticals worth $8.7 billion to the US in 2024, according to Moneycontrol. This accounted for 31% of India’s pharmaceutical exports. scroll.in/latest/10870... The US healthcare system is dependent on pharmaceutical imports from India. #USTariffs

Me IRL, fixing cypress tests in a codebase that is legally allowed to drink in Germany.

You know summer is over when you are trying to pour coconut oil and discover that it has become solid and won’t come out :/

People who condemn violent action for just causes are usually privileged and cannot somehow grasp that a cornered being fighting is not violence - it is survival. I see this a lot in my melanin challenged people, but lately I see this in my people, the ones from THE Subcontinent. It is awful. 😩

Union Busting am Hamburger Flughafen: Groundstars, Tochterunternehmen des Flughafens, hat Gepäckabfertiger Ramazan S., der bei @social.verdi.de aktiv ist, wochenlang freigestellt & hält daran fest, obwohl 1 Gericht entschied, dass das unrechtmäßig war. Was da los? @taz.de 👉 taz.de/Union-Bustin...

There are different Bengali dialects both within India and in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi Bangla does sound different than Bangla here in West Bengal generally, but either way, anyone saying one or the other is not real Bengali is being a dick. Out with that nonsense.

ഗാസയിലെ ന്യൂസുകൾ കണ്ടാൽ പിന്നെ നെഗറ്റീവിറ്റിക്ക് വേറെ ഉറവിടം തേടി പോകേണ്ടി വരില്ല. എന്ത് ക്രൂരമായ രീതികളാണ് അവിടെ. മൃഗങ്ങൾ പോലും ചെയ്യാൻ മടിക്കുന്നത് മനുഷ്യർ വെറുതെ ഒരായുസിന്റെ ഇടയിൽ ചെയ്ത് രസിക്കുന്നു. ജീവനൊന്നും നമ്മുടെ നാട്ടിലെ പുൽച്ചെടികളുടെ വിലപോലും കൽപ്പിക്കപ്പെടാത്ത ക്രൂരതകൾ.

"കല്പാന്തകാലത്തോളം കാതരേ നീയെൻ മുന്നിൽ കൽഹാരഹാരവുമായ് നിൽക്കും.." പ്രണയാഭ്യർത്ഥന നിരസിച്ച നായികയെ നായകൻ പ്രാകുകയാണ്, നീയൊക്കെ പൂമാലയുമായ് എന്റെ മുന്നിൽ കാത്തു നിൽക്കുന്ന കാലം വരുമെടീ, അന്ന് ഞാൻ കാണിച്ച് തരാം എന്ന്.

അമേരിക്കക്കാരുടെ മാനം കപ്പലു കേറുന്ന കാണുമ്പം ഭയങ്കര സന്തോഷം. അന്യന്റെ സങ്കടത്തിൽ സന്തോഷിക്കരുതെന്നാണ്. എന്നാലും. ഷാഡൻഫ്രോയ്ഡെ.

I dunno why I like this one, and I am not going to think much about it. :D

If it doesn’t have a head, is it even a filter coffee

joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-t... This gets so much shitter. (yes there is a racist piece of shit involved, as usual)

If the H1B-Visas are expensive, would this be a shot in the arm for the IT-outsourcing-bullshit-work for Indian companies ?

Tech people are assholes like nobody else. They have access to information and yet have insane, inhuman takes. Case in point, comments on: gist.github.com/avestura/ce2... And the comments from orange hellsite : news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4534...

Are these jokers kidding ? Good luck running the place without the cheap migrant labour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Italians taking care of business. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Why not.

www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-revie... A good read.

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

Lacanian cats. The joy of attaining the dream is always followed by melancholy of having actually done it.

Order real books from your local bookstore OR ELSE IT WILL CLOSE AND YOUR TOWN / NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE SAD AND BORING

Herbst, apparently.

Yes Ducky, we know

Indian media is reporting that Microsoft and JP Morgan Chase are asking their H1B and H4 visa holders to return to the US immediately. m.economictimes.com/nri/work/mic...

My brain on 4 hours of sleep for 3 days, for no reason "Is Shah Rukh Khan the only Muslim left India who can withstand campaigns because of people support ?" Why Shah Rukh. Why the zero context Muslim bit ? Nobody knows. Should sleep more probably

Noticed some drama in Ruby community. Turns out there has been drama in Rails community as well, and DHH is a dick. Apparently people being happy about death of a Nazi is a bad thing. world.hey.com/dhh/words-ar...

Palantir is in the news a lot lately. However, the public discourse about the company often misconstrues it as a data broker, a data miner, a single centralized database, etc. But what does Palantir actually do? I wrote a piece to firmly & clearly answer that question: www.wired.com/story/palant...

Aah. Tumblr. You save my day sometimes.

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

For people writing about Antifa blah blah - look at Indian government and Maoists. This isn't the time to debate whether or not Antifa is an actual organisation. That is the dumbest thing one could do. Instead look at how the label will be used to suppress people.

These Nazi fucks are using the genocide to say Jewish people are bad openly. But if you don’t support Israel, then he’ll have a cup of coffee with you ?!?
