Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

I personally don't care if you use ChatGPT to make Ghibli images. Do what you like. I just wish you'd do it while aware of the fact that this tool only exists because of blatant theft. That everything made is a soulless copy. An utter insult to Miyazaki's work.

This is the right move by Apple when given no other choice. "Backdoor" and "encryption" are oxymoronic - no logical person should think otherwise. #Apple #ADP #UK
Apple yanks encrypted storage in U.K. instead of allowing backdoor access
Apple disabled its most secure data storage offering for new customers in the United Kingdom rather than comply with a secret government order.

The best time to turn on Advanced Data Protection was before the U.K. forced Apple to disable it. If you’re not in the U.K., the second best time is right now.

With the entry level iPhone now at $600 up from $430, I cannot help but think that this is a hedge against proposed tariffs and subsequent inflation.

Fuzzy feeling knowing that billionaires believe the wealth they’ve accumulated is evidence of their great capital allocation skill and is deserved.
This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

Yikes 😬 Meta spent over $70B and years of work on absolute slop.
