Linux is an operating system on which you need to type cryptic commands to make it do what you want.

Windows is an operating system on which you need to type cryptic commands to make it not do what you don’t want.

MacOS is an operating system that makes what Apple want, no matter what cryptic commands you type.

I'm trying to stay off of Facebook because I keep getting depressed by all of the transphobic shit. For my own mental health, I really need to limit the amount of harmful content that I consume from the Internet on a daily basis. I could really use some solid follow recommendations. I'm looking for cool queer people, blind people, nerdy/geeky people, and just plain good people. If you have a follow recommendation… for my sake please share!

Today in Labor History November 23, 1644: At the height of the English Civil War, John Milton published an anti-censorship pamphlet, “Areopagitica.” He had been censored several times, particularly in his attempts to defend divorce, a radical idea in those days. He anonymously published “The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce” (1643), which was condemned by the Puritan clergy as heretical and supportive of sexual libertinism.

Update: it is not macros that cause this, it is plugins. If you use a build plugin, it injects the entire build plugin code into your resulting app.

Still no fix, but at least we know more.

Thanks to @helge for narrowing down the problem.

How broken is today's frontend culture?

Summer has opinions.
Usually we agree.
Thank goodness.
Today she was helping me get dressed after a shower. I don't always get this level of attention but she helps her pal everyday. He keeps a basket of clean socks just so she can fetch a pair for him. She has skills and loves to help so it works.
Picking out the right t-shirt for me to wear is another important job.
Summer thinks about it for a minute and makes a choice. She doesn't even mess up the ones she leaves behind.
Helping her fulfill her need to be needed brings us all joy.

Making strides in moving from Day One to Emacs's org-journal. This is not actually an easy transition if you have over 600 Day One entries that you'd like to convert. (Which I've done, sort of, albeit just as one huge honking file for the moment.)

All this to say that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer and DOGE was not a failure. It functioned as designed. I wish people would cover this accurately. It's not difficult.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
