yeah she basically sucks:

• uyghur genocide denier
• 9/11 conspiracy theorist
• russia sympathizer
• 1/6 conspiracy theorist
• takes bitcoin donations

She's posting on Substack and she's Twitter Blue, so it's not surprising.

I think having a lot of "the worst person you know just made a good point" moments just comes with the territory of being anti-genocide

the f

the fucking steam pipe has a leak on the valve because it's rusty

rust:

• r for "really good introduction game Half Life"
• u for "understandably, half life had DLC and sequels"
• s for "stay inside and play Half Life Alyx"
• t for "That means Half Life 3 is coming"

not available :(

exactly

Oh yeah. One of Rust's biggest problems is that very few batteries are included. (Even rand is a crate!) Big "can't break std's api if you don't have a std"

This isn't a blocker for anything I do but you are very right

oh my god

While on its merits, I like Go a lot more than many other languages, I still very much dislike it. If we're going to pick a Hip and Trendy language, surely we can pick a better one!

Ooh I really appreciate this. We're using Caddy, so I'll have to translate the config, but that shouldn't be too hard (+ easy to reverse if I mess it up lol).

intentionally excluded. the new purple heart has you navigate a series of bureaucracy suffering from injuries from a previous fight to try and get health care. it's really hard to get

yeah

For extra giggles: This post was a dramatic recreation of a train of thought that started with interpreting a Microsoft (r) Teams (tm) Message (c) that was along the lines of

It's probably not bad to do it that way, but if you're going to use that, you might want to use the other one instead

in which case almost all of these pronouns were ambiguous :(

i also need to fix a 500 error on signing in!! i keep procrastinating image thumbnails. will get crackin on both later today

hey op can u elaborate

Walked 7 miles and did a bunch of exercise, fixed up problems on my blog, made an MVP CLI wrapper for a rust library, and worked on a big contribution to another Rust project docs, and scheduled several medical appointments, and most importantly: i posted about it

Good job waking up at 5!!

I really mean it. It feels great doesn't it?? I bet you got a ton done!!

mike pence

you should change your name to that of a famed celebrity. or even one infamed. good for the soul

nono i went through each of them, i'm done now

might still take down the site tho

I think you're right, and the hostility you mention (wrt suspecting GoFundMe-s) is something (1) youth centric, and (2) weaponized effectively by people running scams.

I want to emphasize "youth centric"-- I think everyone I know (who is mostly 25+) feels the same wariness to Go Fund Me's and whatnot. I think we've all seen our share of scams.

And there's nothing wrong with the basic principle of "effective altruism"! It's the Effective Altruism movement of LessWrong types who'll throw out the vast troves of unquantifiable facts in favor of what they personally have the tools to measure and model. It makes them ignorant to their own insular culture, to the point where they are actually worried about, like, Roko's Basilisk.

But wanting to maximize the good that comes from your time/money/energy is still a good idea. I've donated exclusively to the two you mention (UNRWA and PCRF) for their long track record of making good use of their money, and not to any GoFundMe.

That said, I believe GoFundMe allows you to start a campaign in benefit of another beneficiary, e.g. this GoFundMe with the PCRF as a beneficiary. Who can say if the loss from GoFundMe's 3% cut balances out with a campaign potentially getting more people to donate

i picked a bad time to stop following siivagunner, this is excellent. thank u for sharing this

To be fair, neither is RTX ;p (it's path tracing) (i am told this is different)

that's how every post from the past 8 years feel to me

Would you tie a bunch of sticks to your horses tails, only to have them go through the mud?

Nono I just stopped clearing them in 2020
