Postponed for « five days », just until markets close next Friday. This is all just one big grift.

Runit supremacy. Welcome to the void.

… Quietly

This is a bad rant. Nvim has markdown format rendering too, does that make it worse? I’d say the markdown rendering was a good update, because now my tech illiterate coworkers can open the .md files I sprinkle everywhere and see them as their meant.

No, the true madness is the advent of tabs that stay open until explicitly closed, even if the program is terminated, and come back when you open the app from scratch.

Do a barrel roll!

We all have different standards of what “speaking a language” means, but good on you.

If you were using Linux in the 2010s you knew this was a thing

The technical term is sheet. The many sheets form a workbook (your file).

While I do agree that Trump gone could cost the movement its charismatic leader and weaken it, I don’t agree with the fact that everyone is going to fight to become « the king ». As I said, it’s mostly a symbolic role meant as a scapegoat should anything go south with the public opinion. The true masterminds behind this, which I mentioned one comment above, do not want to appear on the front stage.

More likely than not, they’re looking at Vance as the dunce to replace the dunce. Not sure how popular he’ll be without a massive psyops, though. Perhaps some Trump offspring has its chance there.

It wouldn’t change a thing.

He’s just the symptom of something bigger and way more entrenched in American society.

You need to understand that Trump is the fall guy for Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and all their billionaires and NRx friends who are the ones whispering in his ear. He doesn’t come up with any of that stuff.

The moment he falls, another one will rise.

Don’t get me wrong, billionaires are definitely sociopaths. But our society, instead of giving them the treatment they deserve (institutionalisation and a therapy to develop empathy would be a good start) rewards them instead with power and influence.

I see many people cluelessly asking why it seems like billionaires are all sociopaths. That’s because society rewards it and selects for it, and that’s what we need to change first and foremost.

To borrow an image from the Scorpion and the Frog, if you’re a frog and you’re taking scorpions on your back, it’s nonsensical to hate the scorpions for stinging you, that’s in their nature. Instead, we should focus on not taking scorpions on our back, that is, not putting sociopaths in positions of power and authority.

Maybe if our system didn’t allow mere individuals to collect a net worth equivalent to small countries…? Hate the game, not the players. Billionaires should not even exist in the first place.
