Reminder: Libreboot machines heavily discounted:
I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer. Sales fund Libreboot. Libreboot (preinstalled) is free/opensource firmware replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI.
New stable Libreboot release coming soon, by November 15th.
Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD.
Libreboot 9020 price further reduced; was £218, then 138, now 118. I'll discontinue the 9020 next week and will launch new, better products. All 9020's must go!
Whelp. I just deactivated my 3000+ follower account on Xitter. I'd been trying to give people time to switch, but I'm done.
Anybody wanna follow a poor ttrpg creator who's trying to do this for a living?
probably emacs lisp
i had this idea (maybe last year?) to make a 1 dimensional dungeon crawler, i.e. you could only move left and right on, say, an emacs message bar
there is also that patchset for bash that makes it like a dungeon crawler?

I think i stumbled on the next billion dollar idea: AI bots to play video games for you. Playing video games can be mentally taxing - wouldn’t it be nice to offload that work to AI so you can do other things, like get a 3rd job to help pay for my game playing AI bot?
Microsoft are effectively giving up on Copilot Pro subscription ($20/month) as almost nobody paid for it.
Instead they are bundling it into Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions and inflating the renewal prices there. There’s no opt out.
Effectively allows the Copilot revenue and user numbers to be inflated.

i will perfect a mysterious thousand-yard stare for when people ask me about my political convictions
i miss the days when it seemed like dialectical materialism was a real force in politics. i am a student of marx, hegel, and so many more... all lost to time.

George Monbiot says: "Trashing the planet and hiding the money isn’t a perversion of capitalism – it *is* capitalism."

i will say kind things to myself, and let myself rest as much as i need.

i am seeing what i know for certain to be absolutely garbage analysis of this election, writ large on the internet.
my take is that it's a redo of trump's voter suppression tactics from 2016--i.e. people who would have otherwise turned out for harris did not.
presumably because they had unwittingly seen some trump propaganda against harris.
honestly, the fact that trump got convicted before the election probably was intended to destroy him. apart from the fact that it was somehow conveniently forgotten that all press is good press.
i dunno look at the fall of the roman empire. before julius caesar there was general sulla in his own civil war. sulla and caesar both hated the plebians but were populists for the disenfranchised in their own uniquely tyrannical way.
it is my considered opinion that the solution to the problem, if it is given that the USA should solve its problems by voting, is to make voting compulsory, as it is here in australia.
americans seem resolute never to be forced to vote, so many who otherwise would have voted for harris did not.
fuck it i'm starting my new programming language project
uspol, us election, trump
Love how media is reporting on the Trump win as if this is somehow an entirely normal, neutral thing and not incredibly fucking concerning on all sorts of levels to the point where it might just be an existential threat to the entire world
shortwave is where we need to go
i will lead the charge...
i should try and reach people in indonesia
*monkey's paw finger curls* The Switch 2 is retrocompatible, but the console actually downgrades back to a Switch and its performance when launching an old-gen game.
