to all the comrades out there--

remember the long game. so many successful revolutions took a lot of time, organising, and lucky opportunities.

i'm declaring neoliberalism over, and whatever this new stage of capitalist imperialism is, is looking a LOT more hospitable to the chances of successful socialist revolution.

in some ways i am actually glad i spent pretty much all my life up until now under neoliberalism. i got pretty good at having low expectations about ever winning against australia's version of the two-party capitalist state.

2024
Week 4
Language: FORTRAN

Confidence level: High

PREV WEEK: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113867584791780280
RULES: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113676228091546556

I was very excited about doing TCL this week, but I told myself the first time I get a two-dimensional array problem I'd go FORTRAN, so I guess this week is FORTRAN.

A friend of mine who did AOC2024 in December noted the early challenges this year were *very* easy. Today's definitely is. I wonder if part 2 will have any depth.

Breaking news: You can now buy my designs on aliexpress! I didn't put them there, I don't make anything from it, but that's where you can get them! (Do this if you like my work, but are a stout proponent of the `hunger content creator' philosophy)

In other news, the only place where I put wearable things, stickers, et al (and make coins) is https://analognowhere.redbubble.com

Now for the weather: You can sponsor my fedi-exclusive artistic endeavors by supporting me financially (and getting nothing extra) here: https://analognowhere.com/support

Blessed be your devices.

doin' activist things during 40+ degree heatwaves πŸ₯΅

day 762:

it happened again, i was supposed to read in bed, but i ended up on my phone all night πŸ˜‡

i think ubuntu was really only ever good circa 2004-2008

when it was jank and broken as fuck and mark shuttleworth was pretty much hiring anyone

anyway ubuntu is like debian plus spyware

i fully sympathise with the scorn debian greybeards heap on ubuntu--yeah, they basically just stole debian and turned it into a scam

[dismissively and condescendingly]
ok computer

oh, also: 21 jan 1793!

poor king louis gets his head choppy-chopped today πŸ˜‡

every day feels like a mad dash lately

it has been all action stations since work started up again

let us just agree to say there has not been a single dull moment... =_=

got a copy of the second book of isaac deutscher's biography of leon trotsky though, so that's pretty cool

been doing lots of meatspace shit

i feel bad for not being around here more

this place is still my home on the internet
