It's me. I'm the mature audience.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic primary candidate for U.S. Senate, speaks during a ‘Not My President’s Day” rally outside Dallas City Hall, Monday, Feb. 16, 2026. ELÍAS VALVERDE II / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Jasmine Crockett: “Other countries have CEOs that are stepping down & princes that are being indicted — in the United States, crickets. Nothing is happening — we have a president that says that the Epstein files are a hoax because his name is in there more times than I can count”

I don't want to sell art to AI slop pigs. I don't really want to sell art at all. Art is a process that usually ends with an object that can be sold as a product. The process is the actual art. The economic damage of AI is of course horrible. Our whole economic system is horrible. The worst part is the strain on our already dying natural environment and the fading of the patient and introspective skills and practices that connect humans to their deeper selves and to each other. It is another attack by the elite vampires to make the general population emotionally weak idiots ruled by fear and dependency on technology they control. If I spend a few days working on a creation, considering each line, parsing every piece through my emotions, bouncing it against my beliefs, then I have gained more than whatever I can sell it for. If I have a magical button that gives me that final creation but steals that process from me, then I have gained nothing but more time to watch television or tiktok videos. Art is a process.

The number go up plague of the tech industry. If number doesn't go up (including KPIs) it's worthless to these ghouls.

It's time to SHORT THAT BABY! 📈

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

This is so true. I miss it too.

I think the best we can do is rank the level of pain of each thing will likely cause in the future, and only concern ourselves with the worst offender.

Otherwise, keep moving toward the goal until the next bit of pain slows dev enough to be unbearable. 😅

I seriously miss my capacity to write bad code, temporary solutions, "I'll rewrite this later" etc.

now I know all the problems that will happen in the future and how hard it is to solve them, so I just get paralyzed and end up doing nothing

I'm really sad now thinking about it

when I was a bad programmer and wasn't even aware of how bad I was, I shipped a game

now I'm a (relatively) good programmer and I haven't been able to even START a serious project in years because I try to future-proof everything and write good code

just go with the spaghetti, make the damn game

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

Losing Poinpy to its Netflix integration has completely broken my faith in monthly gaming subscriptions.

@devolverdigital.com Is there any chance Poinpy will be re-released without Netflix so that I can buy it directly?

i'll probably have something coherent to say about this later but i'm currently speechless and crying a little bit. what a good horror movie.

cure (1997) is really something special.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
