Chief Justice John Roberts—who helped Bush steal the 2000 election, helped gut voting rights in 2013, helped gut reproductive rights in 2022, enabled overt SCOTUS corruption, and gave Donald Trump near unlimited immunity—is now shocked that the fascist he gave unlimited immunity to is lashing out at him for not giving him even more power, and stated on Tuesday "personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it's got to stop."

software is a mirror that reflects the times and the environment it was created in.

this is why much software created in the 1970s counterculture was joyful and humanistic, and why much software created in the 2020s capitalistic hellscape is soul-crushing malware (adware, spyware).

can mean celebrating hardware limitations and creative coding, but it can also mean celebrating personal computing - computers that are tools for liberation - bicycles for the mind, not cattle trains to the slop farm.

New blogpost:

The more I think about it, the less clear the whole thing seems...

I doubt switching to vertical tabs in the browser will make me feel much less deranged (spoiler: derangement is all around), but I am trying it. Not winning yet.

Lotta apps still have tabs at the top and I've never been a huge sidebar fan?

Sidebars should be stable grab handles I reckon.
