Wandering around YouTube and on the videos I've been watching the comments for the software dev videos have been a cesspool of rightwing hate and nihilism while the comments on the rest are mostly just silly

@cwebber @fraggle @dthompson you're really onto something here. You've successfully peeled back the layers of complexity and gotten right at the heart of the matter by appealing to the wisdom of the crowd. 🤯

↗️ This proposal clearly lays out that the greatest common divisor of any two digits is negative 009.

💡 The proof comes from a little-known maths chef, D.T. Hompson, a recluse who is known to scheme about different things.

STOP DOING SARCASM!

Words were never intended to mean the opposite of their usual meaning!
Thousands of years of speaking yet no real world use for not just saying what you mean!
Wanted to say something unclear just for laughs? We had a tool for that: it was called "puns!"

Look at what sarcasm-users have been demanding your respect for. These are REAL sarcasm made by REAL speakers!

* Devil's Advocate
* Shitposts
* "Stop Doing" memes

"Hi, I am lying but it's okay because I'm doing it sarcastically."

They are being completely truthful.

EXCEPTIONALLY glad to have got grants funding off the mark again. Funding events throughout the world is one of the best ways the PSF can improve the global community, and it's really hurt to not have been able to do that for a while.

Glad to be back!

New blog post

The perfect equipment set

People often ask me what I actually use, day to day, to do the things I write about here. The honest answer is: not much. Four devices, a couple of cables, and a strong opinion about each one. This is that list, and why each item earns its place.

I am not interested in the "latest and greatest". I am interested in a set that fits together, lasts, and does not quietly send my life to three different data brokers. So here it is, my perfect equipment set.

This document is a collaboration between Grok and myself, yes.

I don't know, it seems pretty obvious here. How could anyone fail to spot that as sarcasm, or at least some form of irony? Nobody would really use Grok.

Sometimes I think I'm laying it on a little too thick and then I find out that it really isn't thick enough

I should just lay it on even thicker, this will lead to less ambiguity and confusion

I wonder if there's a correlation in the attitudes of people who started their career when everything was rapidly changing vs not and their later attitudes toward change in their work.

A lot of people have been saying that McConnell's staff has been hiding his true condition to head off the possibility of a special election being called to replace him. I don't really buy that theory. There is no chance of a special election in Kentucky being won by anyone other than an insane Republican. From a party-political perspective, Republicans there have nothing to fear from holding an election.

What I think is more likely is what we've seen with other gerontocratic pols (from both parties). A pol who has been in power for decades will have accumulated a staff whose entire career has been built around serving them. Those people are professional members of Team Mitch. While Mitch has power, they are important. If Mitch STOPS having power, they become irrelevant. All the other pols have their own hangers-on, they don't need to hire Mitch's. And the staffers have been in the Mitch McConnell business too long to start over. They don't know how to do anything else.

So when the boss hits a wall, they all have one incentive: to prevent the world from figuring that out for as long as humanly possible
