“What do you want on your tombstone” I dunno, the key or key range being deleted? A logical timestamp I guess?

once trump’s corporate backers actually are *afraid* of massive foreign retaliation they will start clogging up the group chats demanding trump back down. and he will listen, because ultimately this stupid game has only gone on because of elite complicity

it would send a very clear signal to other companies that “indulge them and wait four years” is no longer in effect

this is a no brainer. wipe out this hellhole with a single, coordinated shot. musk ultimately backed down to the brazilians

the first victim *must* be X. it is in violation of child pornography laws, it is led by a person with an unabashed interest in undermining european national sovereignty, and unlike tiktok it only has an elite rather than popular userbase that would squeal if it got nuked

c-suites need to be faced with the possibility of crippling losses if they do not take seriously the fact that trump is insane

punishing those companies is the only way to drive home what the real “vibe shift” actually is

big business has been allowed to do this bullshit act of pretending 1) they have no leverage over the president 2) there are no consequences from bandwagoning with him 3) everyone else is just going to sit back and take it

I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

can't believe it took them this long but we celebrate wins where they come, you know?

(They themselves used machines! They opposed concentrated capital power busting working folk down to the level of serf or indenture.)

Also the luddite movement smashed the machines in factories because they hated the *concept* of the factory and the exploitation factory labor inherently represented. They didn't _want_ to control the factories; they wanted to own their own labor and direct it as they pleased. Distributed capital.

i think a core beef that i have with a lot of this "automation is bad" sentiment lately is that there is no inherent moral good in laboring the story of humanity is one of invention, where we improve our conditions by building things that help us do more things more easily

We need to stop saying “AI is coming for our jobs” AI doesn’t have a vendetta against the middle class. It’s not sentient, it can’t choose to harm us. It’s a tool for those who can. We need to identify the right party at fault. “Billionaires are coming for our jobs”

it’s a civil war and no one wants to believe it

the stated goal the revealed behavior

I still believe you shouldn't attack the creator of the list personally. But I no longer believe it is in good faith, given the large gap between stated goals and revealed behavior

this is a very fun #rustlang blog post ohadravid.github.io/posts/2026-0...

it is very depressing to me that people’s misunderstanding of a technology coupled with their investment in a culture war is causing them to outright deny the overt and obvious benefits of that technology

Buy your ticket now! If we sell out soon, we might be able to expand to accommodate more, but only if we have enough time to do so!

The #tokioconf speakers and talks just got posted: www.tokioconf.com Ticket sales are open! Since it is our first conference, it is hard to estimate how many people will come. We're starting conservative, only 200 tickets right now.

oh, and we got a fun new logo!

More official job posts to follow soon

We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat. We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.

so, what terminal should i be using for macos these days?

#jj-vcs 0.37.0 came out yesterday! im intrigued by the new divergent change syntax, seems very neat github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re...

my "this isn't meant to be used for harassment" sign i put on my list of enemies is raising a lot of questions answered by the sign

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

i gotta worry about claude farting now?!?

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

they’re already getting ready to throw him under the bus, they know it’s bad and they’re hoping a fall guy is good enough of a sacrifice

The purpose of these murders is to teach the good people of this country, who are the overwhelming majority, that the penalty for goodness is death

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

the video of the shooting is not graphic, i should say, at least the one I saw. you cannot see the victim, only the car. but it's video of someone being murdered.

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

The Supreme Court just rejected their union-busting lawsuit today, so they're taking their ball and going home like crybabies, leaving Pittsburgh with no City Paper and no Post-Gazette.

Something that strikes after watching the longer video: the other ICE agents at the scene worked more quickly to remove the officer that fired his weapon than they did to render aid to the woman he had just shot.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

This is the U.S. government lying about murdering a U.S. citizen. Treat these people as the enemies they are, not as an opposition party.

just like, fuck man

go get 'em Keith

New year, new Oxide and Friends predictions episode! @bcantrill.bsky.social and I were joined by @simonwdc.bsky.social and @steveklabnik.com to predict 1, 3, and 6 years into the future. Winners from previous years? Apple in and out of the VR/AR business? Looking prescient! Agents not a thing? Sure!

Getting started with Claude for software development: steveklabnik.com/writing/gett...

rv 0.4 can install your project gems now. Locked gems only so far, but that's still super exciting. Try it out, and tell us what you want next! spinel.coop/blog/rv-clea...

okay @anthropic.com *definitely* changed something about how they calculate usage limits i have never come close to topping out Max x20 before, but post new years? I'm maxing out sessions and just maxed out my week, apparently?

claude code is fucking insane i know literally NOTHING about Hegel. ZERO. and it just built me a complete system of German idealism

This might seem like it doesn't matter but having all the people involved with an emerging technology, even one you dislike, stewing in the fascist ideology soup that is X is extremely bad for the world.

The first Monday of the new year means... predictions! Thrilled to announce that @simonwillison.net will again be joining @ahl.bsky.social and me for 1- 3- and 6-year predictions. Bring your own predictions and join us today at a special time: 4p Pacific! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

Everyone in this thread is having an excellent good faith discussion of AI and the AI, properly employed, does something that normally takes a completent programmer weeks within hours (of mixed AI and programmer effort, presumably). We're making coding dramatically more efficient.

This is so true It’s also why so many Ruby libraries are horrible to maintain IMHO; Ruby lets you do so many gross things in service of the API being nice to use. But then as the maintainer you’re stuck with it
