    You've gotta do that cliche anime breakup shit where you kick a rock around a parking lot and go stare out over some water. It's my favorite part.

    Thankfully in Linux land the evil corporation is Canonical, who aren't really even all that evil, more like a Team Rocket (anime version) style nuisance.

  • US leaves Hurricane Helene survivors behind while funding Israel’s genocidal war. As the death toll from the storm climbs to 204, Congress has made no efforts to secure more disaster relief funding.

    I think investors and the US government got a lot better at controlling the news during the Bush administration, and in the intervening 16-20 years, media people have built their entire careers in that environment. The state department gives the juiciest war news to people who parrot their press releases, so those people advance. The news companies are owned by billionaires with other more profitable investments than the news, who can block advancement for anyone who pushes a story that'd hurt one of those, including talking about climate change. People who do well in this sort of environment have had 20 years to float to the top, and don't need any special coercion to keep pushing the latest war and ignoring something that might be inconvenient to an investor.

    It would also be sustainable if browsers just added less features over time.

    The problem right now isn't so much that the browser is a monstrously complex thing (whatever just fork Firefox), it's that Chromium has 97% market share so anything Google decides to push becomes a de facto standard, and they use this position to push more new shit than a hobbyist org could ever keep up with.

    but what if we chimeratize every species in an ecosystem and release that into the wild so that no matter how much it spreads there's always the right balance

    Chinese names for countries are cool. They try to be nice about it when there's more than one set of characters for something that sounds right (America is from the characters for "beautiful country" instead of "mildew country"), but when that's not possible you get really silly like Portugal being named "grape tooth." (There are also countries with literal translations.)

    Son Goku is canonically 175cm (5'9") and Taylor Swift is 178cm (5'10"). Sharing it here so this factoid doesn't remain stuck in my head and drive me mad, thanks.
