I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

Need to account for the cruelty and insecurity of management.

Yeah ai search is garbage. It’s a lie machine. Fuck everyone responsible for it.

I don’t know any of the surrounding context but I think about this poem (?) a lot

"Get off this estate."

"What for?"

"Because it's mine."

"Where did you get it?"

"From my father."

"Where did he get it?"

"From his father."

"And where did he get it?"

"He fought for it."

"Well, I'll fight you for it.

Carl Sandburg, Selected Poems

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I’d keep working on stuff. But they’d rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

const countOfT = (word) => word.split('').filter(i => i === 't').length
countOfT('colonialism')
0 

countOfT('this is an example sentence')
2 

There’s probably a more elegant way to do it.

Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.

For counting letters in a word? That’s like a one line expression in Python or JavaScript (and other languages). JavaScript console is right there in your browser.

Why not both?

I don’t want to see any more coverage of trump supporters. They are idiots. Humanizing them makes the problem worse. They follow their peer group. The only coverage should be about abandoning trump and conservatism.

It’s funny when you see job postings for where you work. I saw one for where I’m at (a ghost job, since there’s a hiring freeze) that said like “join a highly functional team”. Lady, this team can barely push code that doesn’t have syntax errors.

Side note: posting jobs with no intention to hire (aka a ghost job) should be illegal.

The ATM typically gives $20s, so that’s what I usually get.

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

Conservatives have *always" been the thin skinned ones. “Oh no black people are moving into our neighborhood we better flee and or murder them”.

There are so many better tools for this kind of thing.

Some people will believe anything if it means their in-group is good and the out-group is weak and bad. Probably the best hope for humanity is somehow channeling that trait so in-group is humanity and oh i just re-invented the end of watchmen, I think.

It’s comforting for people to imagine they’re not stupid and other people aren’t smart.

People who repeatedly make horrible decisions, with no sign of learning, should not be allowed to continue making decisions. All of these frothy pro-ai people need to go. Let them spend the rest of their days picking up litter or something useful.

Good. Fuck cars. There’s plenty of transit options.
