@Mabande @grepe @Abazigal ...it seems to all circle back to "things can work if there are some enforceable, clear rules" about what can/ cannot be done. That applies widely....capitalism, banking, socmedia, etc...the push by some parties to always "deregulate" everything is naive, maybe just plain stupid. And the playing field is always changing, so the rules aren't "once and done", has to be maintained, updated. And that can be daunting tsk...doable, but.

Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon. He had just had a kid & was getting sober. The band's second album was a triumph, one of the great underrated albums of the 90s. He had so much life, and so much good music, left in him.

oh this is so cool! Such a creative way to use personal emojis and custom CSS

OK, this is the 5-line snippet of code that apparently isn't working.
[scratch head]
What? This is nonsense from start to finish. I'll just delete it and try again.
[code code code]
There, that makes more sense. Perhaps it'll work better.
[git diff]
… oh. The new code that makes sense is identical to the old code.

@mcc what really makes my biscuit is Apple deciding to call ARM "Apple Silicon" and people using various abbreviations of apple and apple silicone to indicate ARM. And yes I know that there is more than just the ARM core in there, but Jesus Christ.

@davidgerard I'm so negative about AI, the climate people--and Gen Z children--I keep company with keep trying to point out its valid use cases to me.

I am not going to be satisfied until all of those data centers are emptied husks that make all of those abandoned malls in the exurban parts of the US look like quaint cottages. And there's a stock market implosion so deafening that no one will be able to hear me say "told you so."

Living Past Midnight is more than just another post apocalyptic album. I hope you will hear as you listen that there is a lot of hope, it isn't too late... if we can make the right choices.

Join me to have a listen through from start to finish, come at chat about the tracks, the inspiration and a glimpse into how we build peace.

It would be great to see you there.

People build skill against resistance. A woodworker improves by working hard grain; an athlete builds strength on the mountain.

Tech companies now design daily life to ask nothing of us. A meal, a driver or a dopamine hit shows up when we slide a thumb. In Friction I argue that we have mistaken that ease for progress, because it leaves us fragile the moment life stops being easy.

I wrote it as a case for choosing the difficult path on purpose.

I like where your head is at

The Cisco was case was supposed to set an important precedent: American tech companies cannot aid and abet human rights abuses overseas and get away with it. The Supreme Court has let an architect of surveillance and facilitator of torture in China off the hook. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/11/us-supreme-court-deals-final-blow-corporate-human-rights-accountability
