@lorenmorris There's a little-known letter from Chaucer that records his tasting flavor-blasted doritos

Checking in from the hermit vacation mountain cabin. I have brought supplies for Italian sub sandwiches, pizza, and huevos rancheros. My books are here. The steam deck is on HDMI. I am ready

@lawofcons many people are saying this

Woke 2.0 is ruining this economy

I’d prefer a heterogenous mix of blog topics rise to the top of aggregators but I can at least promise I won’t try and annoyingly juice the numbers by spamming just slightly different systemd-themed posts constantly

[tyler @leothrix]

apparently made it to https://t.co/gfQS6JZ6mW as well https://t.co/dSthjZUcDq

They’re calling him the highest paid systemd shill of all time https://t.co/7O4jh7TMdi

@HSVSphere $20 trillion of funding to the Timer Introspection Telemetry Service (TITS)

@tautologer Le Guin’s work is like the anti-hard science fiction: she omits the mechanical details and is all about the feeling and tone. If you go into it prepared with the knowledge that she’s a poet by trade you’ll know what to expect

[tyler @leothrix]

@tautologer I really adore Le Guin but she does have her own distinct style; The Dispossessed is good but heavy on political commentary

Earthsea is traditionally grouped as young adult but Tombs of Atuan is an all-timer book for me, very striking imagery

>You’re absolutely right—that’s on m-

You awake suddenly. You’re reading shitty fan fiction on a small forum in 2001 written by a spergy, but definitely human, author. Attention is All You Need must never be published

[tyler @leothrix]

Honestly I can’t even bring myself to write satirical LLM-speak shitposts any more. It isn’t a challenge and you run into it so often online it just feels exhausting to read that style of prose in any context ironic or not

[tyler @leothrix]

Growing up I felt assured that the rapid knowledge turnover in technology wouldn’t be a factor in my ability to stay in the field, but the real problem is that my patience for bullshit had started to run out and places where you can avoid it are dwindling

@theodorvaryag Do you have a skill to put it on a PIP

nixos 26.05 upgrade forced me to sign a legally-binding contract to become an anime catgirl

Forget about Xorg versus Wayland or systemd versus openrc. I want to know which Linux distribution is favored by the goyim

Shadows Linger thoughts: Shed’s character arc was one of the more noteworthy in all of the recent fiction I’ve been reading

The series continues to be enjoyable

[tyler @leothrix]

This one is up next primarily due to the @eigenrobot recommendation

6yo: “I’ll get myself and <3yo> ready for bed tonight”

What are they scheming. What trap are they laying for me. They can’t be willingly making my life this much easier for no reason

I like the occasional reminder that, at the end of the day, every company is just a smol bean

[tyler @leothrix]

Well I exercised before breakfast. Is this what middle-aged dadhood is like
