@Alyx we aren't giving up either. we can't give up on anything, we've forgotten how.
maybe we're doomed to slide into the darkness no matter what we do, but we'll be fighting the whole way down with anything we can find to fight with.

we could also find the courage to keep on living, of course. but, you know,

if we're so keen on wiping ourselves out, we could at least have the decency to make it quick.

slowly warming up the climate until all our food sources die and the air becomes unbreathable is a pretty painful way to go, and will cause the most suffering to the least deserving, over generation after generation.

if we're trying to wipe ourselves out, surely we could do it more mercifully, more courageously.

saving the planet is not the concern.

life on this planet will persist. if you ask us, and many ecologists we know, wiping out all life on Earth is beyond the capability of humanity.

we can, however, wipe ourselves out.
we, who depend on so much, stand to lose the most from our own actions. if we don't change things now, we're going to drive ourselves to extinction. maybe it's already too late.

@kara_dreamer @ari Another architecture which I would like to explore further is something called "cache kernels", which is structured differently from exokernels, but seems to have similar aspirations as exokernels.

Unfortunately, it never really caught on in either business or academia, so precious little literature exists on the topic.

This is a paper that I pinned in my bookmarks some time ago, if anyone is interested. https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~prabal/resources/osprelim/CD94.pdf

tired of dystopia. give me the struggles of those navigating abundance and community, cooperation and solidarity. what tests their moors, and what is the essence of their ways that transcends abundance? what does the humane world we dream of look like?

guess i've worn out my welcome here since i can't get any kind of traction on these anymore.. and i get it cause i hate doing these as much as everyone's tired of seeing them i'm sure..
it's definitely embarrassing as fuck to keep doing this shit but i'm at a loss of what else to do. we've pawned and sold everything we had that was worth anything short of the last couple of things we have that has any entertainment value left.
we just can't seem to catch a break and keep things turned around and it's always something so much so its a fucking cliche

my wife dropped out of school to get work but it pays shit and we have no idea when she'll get paid
i have contracts that pay well but they've been dragging their feet to start them and it's killing us - we're not gonna make it
