Omarchy is a honeypot for organizations that lack a conscience.

the tech industry fervor over Omarchy is so fucking confusing to me that i'm honestly starting to wonder if it's just money laundering. over TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS for a fascist's dotfiles and bash scripts is patently insane

I'm working on phase 2 of Project Improve Git's documentation and I need beta readers! Here's a signup form: https://forms.gle/swn1jhCULndnCxG87

The first topic is going to the docs on merge conflicts.

I'd love signups from anyone who uses Git on the command line and who would be interested in reading the current version of some man pages and leaving feedback about what's confusing. Especially if you're not 100% comfortable with Git!

"And then, of course, there's the human-gun gestalt, or the 'gun-man'. Putting a gun in a person's hand radically changes how they see the world and the range of potential actions that they have available to them and that might seem good. You can see that, most dramatically, in policing in the USA. When you have a gun, you're predisposed, as part of the human-gun gestalt, to look for reasons to shoot."

Dopamine is not a pleasure chemical. It's a reinforcement signal. It tells your brain "I want more," not "this feels good."

In our recent Change, Technically: @analog_ashley (a neuroscientist) and I (a psychologist) got into what the landmark 1997 monkey study actually showed, why dopamine detoxes are built on a misreading, and how "blame the molecule" stories erase the larger regulation of biological systems and our agency.

Lest anybody misinterpret some of my recent posts/replies about the anger inherent in the LLM usage in open source discussions...

I am angry about data centers. I am disappointed that so many people are happily using LLM services like Claude despite all the negative impact they have.

I'm beyond angry at people passing off LLM output as their own, and having to wade through unwanted LLM output.

It feels like gasoline on the bonfire of democracy that we're all suffering through at the moment.

But I'm also just tired of people being ugly to each other. Bone-tired to my very soul at this point. Burnt crispy and running on fumes.

We are all hurting at the hands of people behind these tools and the system we're trapped in. I don't see how being ugly toward other humans trapped in the same cell is going to get us out. I just don't.

Report: "The British state has lost the argument, even as it rigs the trials of genocide opponents".

The state rigged the trial of Jewish peace activist Tony Greenstein to get him jailed for up to 14 years for so-called “inviting support for Hamas”.

Greenstein spoke directly to the jury, demolishing the sham charges & exposing the political show trial.

The jury unanimously acquitted him.

these are the choices the Trump administration & the Republican Party have made for our society, this war is their priority, not our well-being:

‘How Much Is the Iran War Costing Americans?

… Whatever the true figure is, it’s a considerable sum that comes on top of the bloated trillion-dollar Pentagon budget that has already been approved for 2026, and it is money that could, in theory, be used for other purposes. Take the seventy-three billion dollars in extra funding that House Republicans approved. The authors of an analysis published last week by the Center for American Progress (cap), a liberal think tank, pointed out that this amount of money would “provide full Medicaid coverage for 5 million more people, with $33 billion left over.” That money, in turn, could be used to substantially raise snap benefits (formerly known as food stamps) for children from poor families and double the funding for the National Park Service and for emergency food-and-shelter assistance’
