Margaret Atwood never really made anything up in The Handmaid’s Tale. Just set it in a collapsed USA.

Vegas had cool shows and entertainment. I miss Penn and Teller, and the short flight was nice. Vegas had some nice desert hikes.

But here I am in Japan downing a bowl of ichiran ramen and planning a walk through the torii gates tomorrow. The yen is pretty cheap right now too.

(Well not NOW now, it’s 4am)

The USA ain’t worth the effort or the risk, and they don’t respect us.

Sort of like a Dyson fan. Move a little air to multiply a large volume.

finger touch grep awk cat pip, Red Hat…

Unix. GNU.

Dumb jokes and weird branding kinda comes with the package. People have fun.

I think ‘get over it’ is a pretty reasonable take, overall.

I wrote a crowdsec bouncer that outputs an anubis config. They work together well.

Anubis doesn’t try to do any detection or blocking by itself.

It is good that they’re working towards sustainability though. Lots of devs burn out.

I might, if the specs were good.

I mean, I’d look at the specs first. Because it’s just a logo. Show me the numbers that actually matter.

That said, there are imagery that would give me pause, obviously. I suspect we’d just draw the line in very different places.

If it harms nobody, let people have fun.

Alternately, Super Serious humourless douchebags pretending to be All Grown Up and overlooking powerful functionality because they don’t like the picture on the box.

Some people need to get over their obsession with appearance and face.

Xe Xaio is trying to self fund to replace their day job, so i wouldn’t say there’s no money motivation involved.

It was a slightly uphill battle to get my organization to adopt it for similar reasons but we got there with the branding, and we love botstopper. I put some effort into letting them know just how much it’s blocking.

It wouldn’t help much anyway, ocean acidification is also a problem that is rapidly getting worse.

I read that as the sales pitch, not their actual opinion.
