I wish more militant atheists could sense the extent to which they have completely absorbed some of the worst aspects of cultural Christianity.

My Mexican ancestors entered the country the right way, by having our territory stolen by English-speaking invaders, and being turned into second-class citizens in our own lands.

the biochemistry of dopamine is so exciting

I yearn for an activist collective that genuinely cares about communicating simply and directly to gather people and develop class consciousness, rather than becoming a small clique of highly educated folks and calling it a day.

Many people have said "teach everyone to code!" or cheer-leaded for "learning to code!" but there hasn't been enough discussion about what a Computer Science component to a liberal arts education ought to look like.

In mathematics we have many lists and trees of what mathematicians think people ought to learn, what order it should be learned in.

Not so in computer science. We just say "learn to code" this would be like if math people said "learn to integrate functions!"

In the cloud-native wasteland there's always that "cattle vs pets" talk.
This implies that hyperscaler cloud madness is nothing but a digital meatgrinder.

So, #permacomputing is digital veganism?

Ok, I just installed linux and the experience sucked. Everything worked at the first try, even in advance mode all was flawless.

This is not the experience I remember, where is the need to spend 4 hrs figuring how why the wifi card is not working, or trying 30 different configurations of X.

Now what I am suposse to do? Just use it? Where is the learning at the hard way?
