I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Hey this is a little off-brand for me, but I hope the community can help!

Look at this store:

These designs are good! Unicorns are good! The designer is good and I hope some of you like it and want to buy something. Or favorite a few things to let them know they're appreciated! It only takes a second to join the UNIKORR.

@Averly deserves the attention!

Oh there's a saying for this:

'time makes food of us all.'

This is completely correct.

I fought the law but we decided pistols at dawn was the most polite reduction of our inevitably-violent conflict to a single act of profound savagery.

You can tell the age of a bass player by cutting them open and counting the rings.

I think my favorite kind of album is one that's an unpolished diamond. It's heart is beautiful and made better for it's flaws.

One-take recordings with obvious background noises, uneven and unpracticed mastering, mistakes in the performance. These human choices make them special to me.

Jose González's first album 'Veneer' is exactly this, but so beautiful too. Just a muddy acoustic guitar and vocals and a lot of feelings.

Clearly a hotbed of political dissent and extreme activism.

Monthly reminder: Mastodon instances aren't magical things that host themselves. They take money that has to come out of someone's pocket.

Chipping in means this all keeps working. It doesn't take much.

I have this theory that my auto-correct tries to manipulate my language into less spicy concepts. 'no no no, you don't mean punch, you mean pinch. You don't mean fuck capitalists, you mean fuck capital letters.'

Autocorrect, please assume I want to tear down the world, not test it.

Quick shout out to all my gray literature accomplices out there, filling the world with words and ideas and content of such fleeting purpose and specific value they defy library categorization, shed authorial ownership, and vanish from thought as suddenly as they enter it.

We are the publishing world that no one sees.
We make the other one look small.

Dream forth and conquer

Don't even fuck around invoking Salesforce.
They're everywhere.
EVERYWHERE.
I use Salesforce.

Hey I think it's important we all take a minute to really remember what's important in life.

Long, long paragraphs of comment, wandering through musings on the music, coding, finding yourself, reflections on youth with experience, and that night that changed things.

@djsundog

Art is loose but how many have an associated soundtrack? Design choices made explicitly under the influence of an artist, at a moment, at a time, and can cite and credit it? Your running comments in the code would make the curious coder blush.

That kind of context?
Art.

Linux distro as performative art piece

@djsundog

What about the Reclaim-hosted Computing Platform, or RHCP. No confusion there.

How many times am I allowed to make the same RISC-V business joke in a day?
