I go off on tangents all the time, but they typically present themselves like distracting little wind chimes. This one is more like a clanging gong struck with a giant mallet by a sultan’s harem guard. Other half-finished projects are cryng “Wait! Nooooo!”
To me it’s weird to even think of repairing stuff you buy as a “right” - that’s a given. The issue is the nonexistent “right” of a seller to restrict what a customer does with a product after buying it. That’s as ridiculous as a shoe company trying to dictate where you can or can’t walk. It’s a no-brainer, and should never have to be argued in court or anywhere else.

AI autoresponders are developing into artificial personas that interact with the world on our behalf, which we won’t even pay attention to until the police show up because one of them threatened to assassinate the president or something, and we’ll say, “That wasn’t me,” and they’ll be like yuh-huh it was.

update: after a month of Mint I’ve had no problems at all uploading code to ESP32, and it seems about 50% faster than on Windows. Uploads just work - it’s like a breath of fresh air.
I’ve named my last few computers after planets, with disks named after moons.
When I worked at Microsoft they had all kinds of clusters - OurGang with Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa… Addams with Gomez etc, Disney with Mickey, etc.
What’s weird to me is that the first one pays for their vacations and the second one pays their mortgage. If I had rental properties I would do it the other way around.

It’s simple, when Trump sees a bus he throws something under it.
I thought it was just me getting older and my eyes getting worse, but headlights have really gotten ridiculous in the last 20 years or so. Related pet peeve is people walking at night in dark clothes, not even looking up when they cross the street.

The older you get, the more things are like programming in bash.
I’m tired of people seeing everything as binary good or bad. We have more than two brain cells, and life isn’t a fucking meme.

If you REALLY want to receive some righteous hate, criticize the people who boycotted voting because none of the choices measured up to their standards. People will defend the moral correctness of refusing to vote more than they’ll defend their right to vote.

Shhhh! You’re not supposed to rock the AI hate boat.
