I suspect one of the divisions in this world is between people who would live in co-housing with strangers and people who would rather live literally anywhere else.

I am the latter btw.

I am also one of those who would rather live anywhere else. That sort of communal living sounds like an utter undiluted nightmare. I’d rather live in a mud hole in the forest than there.

Those sorts of communal environments always bring about the worst of humanity, and I want nothing to do with any of that and would do nearly anything not to live somewhere like that.

By developers convincing themselves that infrastructure is code, they then believe that infrastructure is an unlimited resource with no physical restrictions (such as capacity, latency, availability, etc).

I have no problem with code representing infrastructure and deploying this way. I do it myself sometimes. But the current developer belief common all across companies and the internet that infrastructure maps to no extant physical resource is a fanciful, absurd misapprehension. Your code is always deployed to and running on a server somewhere (yes, even if you are “serverless.”)

Far less has changed than many developers imagine — it’s just that they never understood infrastucture and still do not, but now have even more excuses not to as they’ve been allowed to believe it’s “just code.”

but what i find most fascinating about this:

capitalist ideology is STILL working! people still believe in capitalism! an extremely large number of people! we are seeing capitalism embrace the complete breakdown of the conditions for human life, and people still believe in it!

This is not surprising; people are more likely to die for an ideology than nearly anything else — and die they will.

I vacillate on this from moment to moment, but I think there is high chance of human extinction as a result of climate change. Capitalism might the last -ism there is.

Ours is a country led by hollow men like Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, "leaders" who think of nothing but their own egos, who will do nothing as we're drowned by floods, starved by drought, choked by poisoned air. That is the way the world ends.

If you vote Biden or clowntellectual Mayor Pete, you are voting for death for your children and their children (who will never exist).

When I think about the fact of Mozilla killing their add-on ecosystem — their one and only competitive advantage — it makes me wonder how so many smart people can malfunction so spectacularly.

It also makes me wonder why we haven’t had a major nuclear war yet — perhaps it is due to that at least the political power players, while not being as intelligent on paper, have some experience in the real world. This helps mitigate against such brazen and resolute stupidity of the Mozilla variety.
