@monorail anything which boosts evasion, which like, i do understand why that would be restricted in some competitive scenes because it makes the meta less fun, but “some competitive circuits have banned this move because it leads to a less interesting meta” is v different imo than “using this move is literally cheating”

m8 if u want to be playing chess then just go and play chess

“using a move that a pokémon legitimately learns by levelling up is cheating because i don’t like its effect”

never been in, but the good chinese place is just next door

« She probably should’ve taken her Pokémon with her, but she decided against it. Hopefully whatever it was would just flee at the sight of her. »

“you mean seasonal DISPLAY name??” not really

seasonal name

the correct suggestions for someone making a playlist of 00s tunes in 2023 is not all the songs that those artists have made but more recently

take a hint

i promise u i already know about P!nk that’s why i added her song

please just give me a setting to tell the robots that when i add a P!nk song to a playlist it is not me signalling that i want to add every P!nk song to this playlist

it’s not possible for an organization to go “ehhh, the aesthetics of this don’t sit right with me” and spend a weekend tinkering with it

organizations don’t have aesthetic sensibilities and individual personality doesn’t matter much to test suites

in my own practice, i want to employ programming models which enable those forms of expression

inverting the idea of “lone wolf” programming

a monolithic application programmed by a single organization where compatibility is enforced by the application/test suite breaking if someone pushes an incompatible change: that’s isolated

a dozen people all working on their own codebases and projects where the fruits of the ecosystem are only attainable if everyone agrees to the same sets of basic principles and interfaces, despite a lack of any real technological means of enforcing them: that’s social

open source in the sense of big collaborations can be good

but open source in the sense of a collection of small, individual takes on various problems is better, if you can just get the people to agree on a shared interface for communicating between those programs

planned on spending thanksgiving finishing up some technical debt work on this library so i can start building things with it instead

wound up taking a detour and refactoring several parts that i previously had considered completed

that’s ok

@esther@strangeobject.space idk i’m not a god; my job isn’t to judge whether people are going to heaven or hell, it’s to make the earth a better place

do u think bickering about whether Musk is “responsible” will get us there? how? in my judgment, the emperical evidence leans the other way

it’s saturday

come listen to some japanese jazz

@esther@strangeobject.space @Reb@strangeobject.space to the contrary, i think portraying a group of super-powerful and influential people as solely responsible for the design and outcome of a system is a normalizing force intended at masking the avenues for the rest of us to change it

Elon Musk would LOVE to believe that he is the architect of the current situation, when in fact he is a pawn of a powerful system perpetuating itself irrespective of his wishes. he is not in control; we are. the system exists because WE lack the strength and will to change it. we must acquire that strength through solidarity. organizing is the first priority
