Yes.

There are only five books in the series so that shouldn't be hard.

@elana@mastodon.social Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I hope you feel better soon Bruce.

@serge Welcome!

@ppatel I just can't get past "we can't trust this guy to run a social network or fuck with car orders or internet access by people who criticize him in any way why the fuck would we trust him to not brick our brains?"

@objectinspace So after everyone's spent the last year and change destroying Elon for fucking up Twitter, they're all going "Hell yeah let's put Elon's chip in our brains!" Do I have that right? We're supposed to trust the guy who couldn't manage to keep a dumb social network running to do brain chips right?

I refuse to use the word.

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that it's the latter.

How bad is it that I completely understand the desire to try to knit with dog hair. Especially because there can be so much of it.

@chris Seconding Scott.

You're doing the right thing. Nobody is entitled to your work for free, and this includes Floss projects.

@gavi I think this is true no matter the language. Good code isn't meant to be copied, it's meant to be studied so that it can be learned from.

I think Harvard does too. We're not fixing antisemitism in western society until non-Jews start dealing with it when it's not politically advantageous for them along with the politically advantageous kind. Lots of Jews being present isn't enough.

Why should Rutgers be any different than just about everybody else?

Dude, after October 7, you're still shocked?

@sickmatter Yeah maybe he should. But since when have voters done the right thing. A sizeable number of them can't be convinced that preserving democracy overrides their getting a pony, and another sizeable number is attempting to ram their religion down our throats and wants to make it legal for their nutcases to skip vaccines. And I haven't even gotten to things that would make other people's lives marginally better, like an actually enforceable and enforced ADA for example.

@sickmatter I don't know, attempting to ban encryption is pretty serious given all the things you literally need it for. If anyone ever suceeds at this, modernity comes to a hault.
