Overall, I prefer my old thinkpad to my old latitude. Typing on it right now. A proper keyboard.

I’ve been having better results with searx than ddg for the past month or two. Especially because ddg seemed to have forgotten what to do with quoted text.

Hurray! My wish for Ocaml is that it could somehow be popular enough to have more… casual users, let’s say. I enjoy playing with it more than any other language I’ve run into, but everyone else falls so deeply into it that I don’t generally

Thank you for this. I’d never looked into this far enough to learn about organizations working to make a difference here.

I know sometimes on Reddit I would reply to people with something very short when all they’d been getting were lots of downvotes, or even some upvotes, but I felt they needed some support through actual human communication instead of just t

I like how they get halfway through the article before deciding it could also be a raven. And talk like it would just not be possible to distinguish one from the other.

When I go to youtube, I'm looking for something. But I will see the front page of crap in my peripheral vision and wonder about the millions of people who click on that garbage. Sometimes I'll even look at the names for a second a

What I miss most of all from the Good Old Days was getting as many hits back as I could read. Rather than being told "No, there are only eight pages of results on anything in the goddamned world. Really. Would I lie to you?"

I had an upbringing where I was very much judged. And even in adulthood, my experience is that I like myself fairly well, but I am well aware that other people do not normally take to me, are not capable of grasping what I’m about or seeing

Yes, a realization I came to awfully belatedly. As a kid, all those speeches and essays where I struggled anxiously with topics I didn’t know much about or care much about, and bullshitting is not one my strengths or preferences. Decades l

This brought to mind something from Bertrand Russell’s Nobel lecture (all of which is interesting, btw) "I used, when I was younger, to take my holidays walking. I would cover twenty-five miles a day, and when the evening came I had no

I’m surprised no one has been talking about the story itself. I think I was first exposed to it in Ray Bradbury Theater form, and it’s very much stuck with me, the idea that we in principle could have a better world if we had more hopeful m
