   I'm tired. I hurt. And I still have laundry to do.

   It's been an active day, topped off by friends coming over to help finish assembling my new bed. The old bed sits propped up against the living room wall, ready to be hauled away. The box spring had broken wood supports, broken springs, and sagged on one side. The mattress had collapsed, broken springs.

   I like how I openly admit to being an AI hater and people respond with stuff like "I use it all the time for <whatever> and find it to be useful," as if my opposition is simply because of its utility.

   I would avoid using LLMs even if they worked perfectly and did everything the boosters claim they will do.

   It's a philosophical disagreement, not a functional one. I don't want to subjugate myself to a machine.

   Update: I have discovered YouTube has turned these implied-LLM-use settings on for every video I've ever uploaded dating back to 2008. They're in the video edit details, hidden behind a "Show more" button. I guess I now have to go through and turn these checkboxes off for 90 separate videos.

   This is extremely problematic for my RSI. It seems to be impossible to convince a big tech company that "click 450 times" is a thing I cannot do.

   It is not clear turning these off prevents the "Ask" button

   This is not an issue of ideology. You can hate everything about socialism or communism or anti-Zionism, and still help people in Gaza because it's the right thing to do.

   It is the right thing to help ordinary people survive crimes against humanity.

   You think, this time they’ll wake up. After this attack. After this child pulled from the rubble. After this mother screaming at the sky. But they don’t. They never do.

   It’s a quiet betrayal, dressed in loud words of concern. Speeches about peace. Promises to end the war in 24 hours or by next month. Glimpses of hope, dangled in front of us — only to be withdrawn, as if we were plagues to be avoided.

   1/2

   @samebchase I disagree again. I don't want to fight the defaults, I don't want to yak shave my editor, and I definitely don't want to debug my editor config. I just want to edit some files, with basic facilities available in most editors these days.

   I don't want to make Emacs my operating system. Just a good basic modern editor would do.

   It took me 20 minutes to set up Zed and I have never since changed its config, I don't even think about it. It comes built-in with many useful plugins and they'll never break because they are maintained by the editor developers. Granted that I cannot read emails in Zed or listen to music, but is it too much to ask for a beginner-friendly out-of-the-box experience?

   Emacs has so much potential to be the best editor ever, maybe it already is, but the steep starting curve will keep driving newbies away.
