“I’m afraid it’s been… nine years.”

body shame a cat

I know you’re saying this in bad faith as a thought-terminating cliché, but for those in the audience: no, that’s not what body-shaming is. Nobody is deriding or judging the cat because of his body; they’re deriding the actions of the cat’s caretaker(s) responsible for keeping the cat healthy and not neglecting him.

The fuck is wrong with people?

Yeah, how dare people want to see pets not being abused. Quit body-shaming my dog just because he’s skin-and-bones and it hurts him when he walks. I don’t feed him, and you can’t criticize that apparently, because really that’s shaming him somehow. What do you mean, “I’m maliciously co-opting progressive talking points to justify animal abuse”?

“My joints hurt.”

On the one hand

heh

Looks like a template from this merchant on Amazon (“F.YSW”, or what seems like keyboard mash).

The 'Za-wraiths?

They’re just closure-minded.

I understand the justification but just don’t think it holds in 2026 unless you’re in a worse position than even paycheck-to-paycheck. 50% is solid odds for that reward, there’s a difference of two orders of magnitude, those two orders of magnitude are actually meaningful, and $50,000 in 2026 money is “tread water a little more comfortably for a while” money while $10 million – 200x more – is still “invest and go do whatever you want” money.

Congrats, Sharon!!

Wait, what? That seems so trivial. As a sanity check (and assuming I’m reading this right): unless you’re utterly destitute or you’re ground floor on some insane, foolproof investment opportunity but have no spare capital, you literally always go for the expected $5 million, right?

That’s Bayerische Motoren Wankers AG to you.

Why did they make her look like she’s about to terminate the waiter at Chili’s who brought her soggy fries?

If you couldn’t make bunk

I made small but meaningful contributions to a reasonably well-known project still used by millions of people.

Maybe don’t assume I made bunk just because I have an iota of humility to acknowledge that a hard fork of a modern web browser announced by someone on Mastodon who spent a collective five hours patching main is a pipedream.

My point if you didn’t get it is that this has basically the same effect as expressing strong disagreement – inasmuch as it’s extremely likely this won’t see any meaningful usage or development and will quickly fizzle out.

Source: worked two years on a FOSS project vastly less important, complex, dangerous, and time-sensitive than a web browser.

It’s not wrong tho. There’s a new initiative.

Hence my point: announcing “a new initiative” doesn’t denote an actual amount of demonstrated momentum, but it certainly connotes it.

And, so far, they are showing lots more than all the other wannabes and nobodies who complain the same on the internet but don’t deliver.

Dude, it’s a patch on top of main that removes Firefox’s tepid, trivially disabled AI features. What do you mean “lots more”? lmao this is tantamount to a strongly worded letter about Firefox’s inclusion of LLM tools.

“There’s a new initiative” is doing a fuck of a lot of lifting from “someone on Mastodon said they’re going to try”.

YoFrodo, my allegiance is to the city – to urbanism!

Honestly fair. Goodbye.
