I'm not a huge fan of the sonic movies. But he is really fun in them.

Catch 22 is just about the funniest thing I've ever read. I don't think you'll finish it in a day, but it's amazing.

Never Let Me Go is the most "not for me" book I've ever read. I can see why people love it. And I respect what it's doing. I just don't want to play a long.

Project Hail Mary used to come up on r/books from time to time and was polarizing. Lots of folks loved it. Lots thought it wasn't good.

If you loved the Martian I think you'll like PHM. I did.

I've stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn't tend to be worth it.

It's just less things to remember.

I have. It's a lovely graphic novel. It'd take maybe an afternoon to get through it, including time to stare at the wonderful illustrations. Worth it, I think.

I downloaded google lense a while back to identify a mushroom. It was pretty and I was curious. After installing and taking the picture it replied.... "Mushroom."

The second image said false widow's death wish or something metal as hell.

We knew spooks were all up in the phone network. They'd show up and ask installers to run them some cables and configure ports in a certain way. I was friends with folks who were friends with the installers.

I used to work for them. It was weird and wonderful and I miss it and I don't. Lots of mission driven folks working hard to keep things going getting very little respect. But a lot of respect. But sometimes none.

Iirc a lot of their budget is spent doing charity stuff. Encouraging contributions for tiny languages. Trying not to cave to Russia or the US or France. Trying to make it less of a boys club. Trying to get local organizations going.

I remember once they sent an email that said "if the French government asks you to delete this page please just delete it. It's not worth going to jail. Someone outside of France will revert the delete."

I wasn't qualified for the work. No one was. But it was honest work.

It's not my favorite but it's fine.

It really does drive people away. I'm not good enough for the kernel, but there's a project I could contribute to as part of my job but I don't because there are mean folks there. My first contribution there was met with cursing.
