🧘🏻 folks have been out here constructing an alternate version of reality to avoid thinking about the amount of people they have personally infected with SARSCoV2.

🙋🏻 folks have been indubitably out here, relieved that they "never get sick," without recalling the original reason they were told to wear masks (the silent spread).

🤸🏻 folks have really just been astonishingly out here, blaming other people for not avoiding them if they do happen to be SARSing up the air everywhere they go.

🕺🏻 folks have been stunningly, embarrassingly, antisocially out here, entitled to a twisted inversion of public health -- a mockery of consent in the form of an inverted notion of bodily autonomy -- that does not, cannot, and will not ever apply to infectious disease

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐
With spring 🌱 upon us in the northern hemisphere, it is the time for the spring bloom in many lakes and oceans. To grow, #phytoplankton require #nutrients and #light, so start reproducing rapidly due to an abundance of nutrients mixed in the water column and increased light intensity 🌞. Zooplankton grazers have yet to increase, and warming conditions help to retain algae near the surface euphotic zone via stratification.

The US constitution was drafted by a cabal of wealthy slavers and landed aristocrats who repeatedly announced “we hate democracy because poor people might vote to not be exploited by us anymore” and crafted a political system to ensure their perpetual class rule and people are really unsure how the US could have ended up in the situation it’s in now.

today I set all the git repositories on my personal forgejo server to private because llm crawlers were thrashing my server

when you ask chatgpt a silly question to see the silly answer, or prompt midjourney or whatever for a funny image, or use copilot or claude to vibe code, you are complicit in this

Server processes, which provide for a variety of services available with UNIX systems are often referred to as "daemons," as they attempt to do work invisibly. This is a play on Maxwell's daemon, who would merrily put hot molecules in one box and cool molecules in another box, thus (?) violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (The proof fails when the daemon acquires so much energy in rapid collisions from highly vibrating molecules that it must radiate the energy as heat, thus perturbing the system. See Feynman's Lectures on Physics, Volume 1, for more information. You just can't get something for nothing, can you?)

i increasingly have zero patience for people even saying the democrats are the lesser evil to be honest which i am still hearing in 2025. if the republicans are nazis then what is it you call it again when people are getting up there to compromise with and find reasonable common ground with the nazis
