I won't explicitly say why Arch Linux refused DHH's sponsorship offer. It's not my place to do so.

But it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

I'm genuinely interested by the results of this #poll.

1. Are you self-hosting at home a little server? (with services like shared drives, media server,...)
2. Would you be interested in getting assistance managing one in your home?

(If you're also interested in this topic, thx for giving it a little boost for a larger sample)

@witchgirls @zzt I mean we learned about this in anti-drug awareness week.

FOMO: "They don't want you to know this, but you can do stuff with PDFs with this one weird trick."

Intimidation: "Buy ChatGPT tokens, or I will kidnap and starve your dog."

Dominance: "You will use the chatbot, if I see you doing stuff yourself, you will face me."

Bargaining: "I can quit when I want to. Here, how about this... You write a prompt to help me for class, and I'll stop after I turn it in."

Hazing: "If you don't write a prompt, you're not getting your pants back. Use AI or walk home in tighty whiteys."

Bandwagon: "We're all using it, and we're perfectly fine."

Sex Appeal: "Hot guys are prompt engineers. Help me, prompt daddy!"

(I can't believe I just wrote that... prompt daddy. FML.)

I remember how much grace and care so much of the rest of the world extended to us in the chaos of that day, and how we are now subject to the whims of a man who, when confronted on the day with the horrors that made a world stand still, went on television and bragged that now he had the tallest building in downtown New York City.

Listen, A Boy and His Blob wasn't a good game, but it was a game that people who played it remembered, and isn't that good enough

don't tell anyone but the real magic of 9front is how easy it is to change things on a whim. you can overlay a git repo over your filesystem to get up to date sources for everything in /sys/src/, a cold build of the entire OS and all the software is surprisingly fast, you can pop open the source code to any command with the src command, the code is concise, and the man pages have good coverage of standard library topics. i've never experienced this much immediacy to just tinker from linux.

@witchgirls @zzt the other funny bit is that I don’t have to spend that $20

I don’t have to spend it because I’ve been reviewing the code of people who’ve spent far more than that on it

and oh boy does it fucking suck

@tyzbit @witchgirls @zzt see also their holy crusade attempting to distinguish “ai coding” from vibecoding despite that term literally having come from karpathy setting off this whole stupid wave

they rail about the term slop in the same way! someone else’s bad shitty prompt code is slop but theirs is a beautiful work of art

imagine if there were a book of, like, an outdoor place? full of animals? critiquing issues of social equality? alas

This was SO much fun. I got to talk to art historians and scientists about science in art!

Artists are keen observers of the world, and they may see things others miss.

And it was a fab opportunity to dive into beautiful art.
