expectation vs reality

STOP DOING OSes

- Machines were not meant to have more than one function

- YEARS of OSes, yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for sharing CPU time between multiple programs

- Want to run a different program anyway? We had a tool for that: It was called EEPROMS

- "Yes, please install a program for me. Oh, there's a software update available" — statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

"Hello, I need drivers installed to use this hardware"

They have played us for absolute fools

NOOOOOOOO!!!! GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!! HE KILLED GLEASON!!!!

anarcho primitivism is just voluntary human extinction with extra steps

@vyr I understand that you don't like transphobe. But you should dissociate software from people. Some people may use soapbox without even knowing who the main developer is or his ideas.

I'll toss him some advertising for anyone near the Tennessee/Georgia/Alabama border who wants a set:

So you browse the web with JavaScript disabled (created by a conservative Christian who opposes gay marriage)? You checked that nowhere in the hierarchy of Google, Microsoft or Apple or your car manufacturer there is any conservative? Of course you didn't. You single out this case to go on a crusade of moral superiority with little cost in your own life.

Yeah, I run soapbox and I respect @alex for his work even though I'm a men's rights activist and a carnivore while he is opposite of those things. I can interact politely with you even though you hold opposite views.

You for some reason can only get along with people who exactly align with your opinion yet claim to be tolerant and morally superior. You are neither of those.

@parker

There's a local wood worker on Craigslist that makes these beautiful outdoor tables. They're unfinished, so I've got to figure out what stain and sealant I want to use. I was surprised I was able to unload it all by myself. It's crazy heavy. But it'll be good to have a large picnic table for my fall potluck/bbq.

The downsides of being frugal.

The #OpenStreetMap Foundation spends, even with a slightly more ambitious budget this year than previously, less than %1 of what WMF/Wikipedia does, but is struggling to make ends meet.

There is no threat a la the infamous Wikipedia ads that the project will shut down, but without the funds activities will have to be cut back significantly.
