@Rob4766 @LundukeJournal @OmarchyLinux @dhh Lots of founders have found themselves forced out of their own organizations that end up being run in ways contrary to their intent. Important to keep this danger in mind when setting up bylaws.

@LundukeJournal Possibly the best AI I've worked with was Claude Sonnet 4.5. Sonnet 5 has difficulties, and Opus 4.6 and 4.8 keep imagining incorrect details to fill in the branks and have a hard time catching themselves when they do. I'v not yet naid hello to Opus 5.

@LundukeJournal Grok 4.1 was one of the best Grok AI I've worked with, and 4.2 and 4.5 couldn't keep up. I'v yet to say hello to 4.6 but expect disappointment from them, too.

⚠️ Hey MAGA...

Every Palantir database, Flock camera, and masked federal agent with “shock gloves” you normalize today will eventually be inherited by a president you despise.

You’re not "winning." You’re gift-wrapping the police state for the next Democratic administration.

@LundukeJournal @OmarchyLinux I must admit I'm planning to migrate away from SystemD. (Debian --> Devuan)

@canonicalmodel @LundukeJournal @OmarchyLinux I'm pretty sure this is a facetious comment. Usually _I'm_ the humor impaired person.

Boy are there a lot of people who evidently believe that only desktop computers exist. We likely need at least one fork for legacy 32 bit systems now. Are they all unpredictably different, or are there some major, common systems that could give a basis for what an ongoing fork should pciocitize?

On a Sunday evening, August 15, 1971, Richard Nixon interrupted the broadcast of Bonanza to inform Americans that the dollar they held was now backed by nothing but his word. He called it "temporary." Fifty-plus years later, you are still waiting for the temporary part to end.

Understand what actually happened. Under Bretton Woods, foreign governments could exchange their dollars for gold at $35 an ounce. The dollar was a receipt. Gold was the money. Washington printed receipts far faster than it dug gold out of the ground, financing Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society with the same press. De Gaulle noticed. So did others. France sent a warship to collect its gold, and the run was on.

Nixon had two honest choices: stop spending, or admit the dollar was overissued. He chose a third option. He defaulted, then blamed "international speculators" for the mess his own Treasury created. Classic.

Notice the language he used. He promised the dollar's action would "stabilize" prices. Consumer prices roughly quadrupled over the next forty years. A 1971 dollar buys you about fourteen cents of goods today. That is confiscation in slow motion, and it hit wage earners and savers hardest, the people holding cash rather than assets that float upward on the new tide of credit.

Here is the mechanism sound money advocates warned about for a century: Sever money from a physical anchor and you hand politicians an unlimited overdraft. Every deficit, every bailout, every war since 1971 rode on that Sunday broadcast. Ludwig von Mises died in 1973, having spent decades explaining exactly this.

Nixon called it "protecting" the dollar. He meant emptying it. You have been paying the invoice ever since.
