heinemeier hanssen is a white supremacionist; which should make him toxic to any reasonable person. and he's also driving the effort of omarchy, a set of weird vibe-coded scripts and collection of configuration files applied on top of linux arch. tj devries interviewed dhh a number of times […]

in conclusion: i'm terribly sorry to tell you all that, but @neovim is #fashware.

my unpopular take is that i always loved minimalist, flat ui design, symbolic icons and use of colours to discern the ui elements – and i really dislike skeuomorphism. (but that's my personal opinion, and as long as my apps can be themed, i'm happy with defaults being something else.)

When you read "The Elements" by Euclid you are reading a copy of a copy of a copy of a math textbook written 2000 years ago. Book V was mostly based on the work of Eudoxus of Cnidus, who was a Pythagorean and so in it you have a proof of "The Pythagorean Theorem" which we attribute to […]

the confabulation machinery promoters will do anything to feel victimised; one of this week's most egregious takes is that “techbro” is a slur. there's a necessary systemic component for an insult to become a slur, and techbros, one of the most privileged people on this very earth, have none of it.

The YouTube and the blog have been having hit after hit this week, it's most pleasing. YouTube recalculated what is a "view" - the public version is even one second of video playing, but there's a separate stat counter for what's "really" a view which is saner. anyway! Twitch AI class action […]

i'm reading then skimming then skipping to the end of the bill gates blather on AI and going, yes bill but why are you telling me all this https://www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-topic/reader/a-turbulent-ai-era-and-critical-choices-to-make archive […]

another hopeful note is that so far i had only one dude telling me that dhh is right about deporting the filthy immigrants. this means that we calibrated our federation on circumstances dot run exceptionally well (if i may praise myself).

on a more pleasant note, happy ratko mladić day to those who celebrate. requiescat in picem, motherfucker.

RE: https://circumstances.run/@mawhrin/117167466758241828 folks, i'm sorry to inform you that justin m. keyes, the primary dev of @neovim absolutely _hated_ the idea of removing an endorsement by a bona fide fascist from the main page of the neovim editor. what happened: i've opened a ticket […]

i've come to believe that the only reason enoch burke is doing what he's doing is that he prefers gaol over his family home. #mastodaoine

RE: https://circumstances.run/@mawhrin/117167466758241828 i've opened an issue asking the neovim maintainers to remove the endorsement from david heinemeier hansson from neovim's website; let's see how it goes.

If you are seeing one of your colleagues' names on this letter and think, "Huh, but X isn't a white supremacist, whyever did they sign that letter," then I urge you to contact them and let them know that unless they do want to be known as a white supremacist, they should probably remove their name.

just seen another example of the confabulation machinery fans getting incandescent because someone told them “nope”. that is a fascinating phenomenon.

I feel like a lot of the "nuanced takes on AI" out there mistake anti-AI folks calling out people using AI for "shaming." as though publicly calling out someone for AI boosterism or passing off plagiarism machine output as their own is an effort to make AI users feel bad, rather than an effort […]
