@marioguzman One moment.. one moment... Ah no no no, not you no.

She is hilarious 😍!

Between USPS and the Roberts Six, the attempted coup is already underway, right before our eyes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/us/politics/whistle-blower-voting-by-mail.html?unlocked_article_code=1.91A.SRwa.dFhzsjceIlJW&smid=url-share

the reason i got way into this is because it ended up being a corollary of the parsing theory i developed in 2020-2022 because i was pissed off that parsing was so fucking annoying to do

one particular result that astounded me about the "algorithm" i developed (i hate that word) is that once my compiled parser processes any given sequence of tokens (e.g. "abca") in one input, the result of that work (the set of valid sub-parses spanning those tokens) can be directly reused for any later input.

i had never encountered an algorithm which amortized across problem instances before. like globally, across all possible inputs

Left one with yellow strips on edges vs top. Pops more for me.

@jkn I remember that, when WA added some onerous update to their TOS and there was a massive shift in South and SE Asia, no? 5-6 years ago?

At least, it seems, most journalists are still on Signal.

I closed my #Google account back in 2018.

@mariusor precisely what I thought when buying my Continental Grand Prix 5000 🥲

My only consolation is that they will probably last a decent amount of time.

I am still without a steady job and have been having trouble paying bills, if anyone has any leads on a job ❤️ https://bitbang.social/@kalleboo/116658289418096291

While I agree, care work is still unpaid. The biggest bamboozle of women's emancipation was the fact that now two parents need to work a full time job with one of them (usually the woman) needing to also do all the house work.

One parent working used to mean feeding a whole family. Notice how women's liberation didn't mean that now parents could decide who stays home when and who goes to do paid labor.

The capitalists managed to squeeze profit even off of women's liberation. I hate this system.

Billionaires have become radicalized against democracy.

"It's not just Trump anymore. It's a regime. And it's a regime that is funded and supported and strengthened by the oligarchs of Silicon Valley."

We must realize how much power we have, and stop being tuned out from the threat we face. ⤵️

So, day 3 of adjusting to life after Evil Maps. Tried OsmAnd, and kind of liked it. Sort of a cyberpunk UI feel, super customizable, but no real time traffic, so utility is limited, but it works with Android Auto. MapQuest seemed like a viable Evil Maps replacement. Has traffic, but it doesn't seem to work with AA, so that's a deal killer. Just started using Waze, and it seems perfect so far. Like the UI better than Evil Maps, works with AA, and does traffic really well. There must be a catch...

You don't need to win every argument. Sometimes it is enough to say "Interesting, I’ll have a think about that" and then never think about it again. #gooderliving

@GeePawHill aye... considerate creatures, aren't they?

Lilly always makes sure the immediate space in front of me is clear of obstacles whenever I'm carrying something heavy, like a washing machine.

Nalu makes sure to show me where is bowl of food should be put, this making me spill it all over the floor so Alba can try an scoff it.

Lilly: elderly cat
Nalu: nippy cat
Alba: dog, but acts like a cat to blend in

First public release of Uxn68k

Still very new software, might not work at all on your machine. (But if you do try it out let me know how it goes!)

@ncoca There was a brief, beautiful moment, when Signal was the no. 1 downloaded app in the world. A few weeks later, nobody cared.

@gdinwiddie Age I think. Or possibly the will.
