Oh, gods damn it. I'm only going to have a couple of servers to move, but it's going to be a huge pain in the ass. What VM provider is recommended these days for USAian customers?

When I was 17, I thought it would be great to live forever, even though my life at the time was not especially happy. But now that I'm over 50, I have trouble understanding how people can make it to my age or older without at least becoming somewhat comfortable with the prospect of death.

I always assumed it was a package deal with the California Ideology.

they argued that the TESCREAL thesis is little more than a leftist conspiracy theory

The thing about leftist conspiracy theories... right wing conspiracy theories tend to be things like "the (((lizard people))) are kidnapping and harvesting the adrenochrome from white children", whereas leftist conspiracy theories tend to be things like "the CIA illegally funded right-wing Latin American militias by illegally selling arms to a country that had in recent memory held US diplomats hostage but was, at least, anticommunist". Leftist conspiracy theories tend to get validated in substance if not in details a few years after it's too late for the knowledge to be useful.

I've wanted to put poison or "go fuck off" statements in AGENTS.md in some of my repos, but didn't want to give a false slop signal for people that see it but don't read it.

Orgzly Revived provides an okay way of using org-mode on a phone. I really only use it for capture and some lists I don't use on desktop, and don't really use it for scheduling.

Yeah, seeing that gave me the black pill. I chose Common Lisp for personal projects to avoid techbro bullshit.

The fake research company listed Dr. Elena Vasquez, one of the most commonly made-up AI names, on its staff page. I guess Elara Voss was too busy.

Lacan by way of Land.

Some years ago (2018-ish?) there was a fad on Fedi for making MYNAME_ebooks accounts that posted markov chain generated mashups of your previous posts.
