do you know why i got into FLOSS in the first place? it was because i learned to program on windows using microsoft tools.

at some point i realised i was risking the following scenario:

• i find a bug i can't work around
• microsoft decides not to fix it
• i'm unable to fix it myself

and like i thought free software was pretty cool as a philosophy, obviously.

Btw, if you want the opposite of an algorithmic personality-flattener? Read an old book. At least a century old. Everything will be different and strange and won't fit in any gentle groove you've worn for yourself. This is true even with a shitty, ephemeral book.

Something that's sticking in my craw this time around is a parochial and oversimplified view of my home country, the US.

When I've been to re:publica before, I saw the US painted as the evil empire, the cautionary tale, the example to head off before it's too late. Fair, honestly!

But the US is more than just the Death Star. We can take lessons in resistance from the US. Germany needs to hear about the broad community groups that organize, inform, shop, teach, sing, track, and fundraise – and they do this using tech tools, even in a regime with way fewer privacy rights.

US-style tech authoritarianism is coming for us in Germany, so let's learn from US-style activism, too.

i got zig to unroll my loops for me!

interestingly, because it needs to constant fold to achieve one of the unrollings and doesn't complain, i have good confidence that it must have done exactly what i wanted.

not that this is necessarily the final trick i will go with, but it's interesting that i can do this and be guaranteed that it does what i want. at least before it gets fed to the llvm backend...

I'm stalled https://dustycloud.org/tmp/org%5Fdiet%5Fresults.html

But it's been hard to keep my diet on track with things going on lately. But those have largely cleared up. Determined to turn it around though. I think I can do better than I have been lately.

I badly want to cross under 240 soon. I can do it. Just gotta be serious about things.

Friend: seriously, you should use your journalism background to get the inside scoop on the rich, it could be fantastic for your research!

Me: and just exactly how would I propose that. Write, “hi, my name is Robert Kingett. I'm a blind and gay Romance author. One of the Romance genres I pen is billionaire Romance, but I have a tiny request. I’d need to live in your mansion as well as eat any food your private chef creates for a year. For research, you know. I’d also need uninhibited access to your private jet because I will have hot and steamy sex scenes that take place inside of a private jet. Lastly, this research is most critical. I'll need to get an up-close look at how you exploit all your workers and loved ones just so I can make the Romantic tension and commentary on class as authentically as possible before the hot sex happens. May I speak to your people about this stunning opportunity? If you'd like your name to be the romantic lead, I must always accompany you, even to the bathroom. I must shag you on your plush bed at least 30 times, and I must witness all the ways you continue to always do ghastly things to the planet and to workers. Nothing can ever be secret because I need to write the most authentic billionaire Romance possible.

Friend: actually, that's perfect! Do that.

We sent an edited, but far more detailed, letter to billionaire’s houses via snail mail. If my name appears in a restraining order media scoop, you know why.
