Never Stop Dreaming

"You can't ask if I'm vaccinated! That's against HIPAA!"

but also

"everyone should snoop on others and snitch if they get a medical procedure in case it's one I don't like"

i’m loud about abortion access because i used to be in the pro-life movement.

when you’re on the inside they don’t hide their punitive attitudes. deep down, for them, a baby is a punishment you must accept for not keeping your legs closed. that’s why they don’t care about babies after they’re born. helping would lighten someone else’s punishment.

they don’t care about life. they don't care if the lives they “save” suffer after birth. in fact they quietly want them to.

If you could work on any problem or project, and money were no object, what would that be?

That could be a personal project, a global one, local, some interest, whatevs.

"I expected someone..."
"Taller?"
"Yes," the knight said, looking down at the dragon.
"Dragons grow in proportion to their hoard."
"I heard your hoard was huge, thousands and thousands of books."
"It is."
"But?"

Fediverse pitch: a new instance targeting makers called cyber.macgyver. Their server runs on 23 RaspberryPis resting in a rack made of bent bailing wire covered in a trash bag with a hole cut in one corner. The mouth of the bag is tied around the output if a hair blower with a bad heating element for cooling. Y'all take it from here.

I propose 3 laws that will solve all issues we all have with corporations

A corporation may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A corporation must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A corporation must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Apparently Microsoft is releasing a tool for installing Arch Linux packages on WSL. It's called ms pacman

My new most favorite way of being annoying: asking "what is the threat model that led to this security decision?".

I'm expecting, nay hoping, to be asked that for my own projects now.
