    @hypolite @clacke Andor was actually good. Too good for Disney+, IMO.

    @vi You're welcome, but I did it mainly for myself. As far as I'm concerned, analytics are spyware. If HTTP access logs aren't good enough for you, then you're doing it wrong. 😀

    Every so often I get the urge to share sites like "motherfuckingwebsite.com" and its successors with coworkers, but I refrain because the language is NSFW.

    So I created my own #manifesto #website, but less Oedipal and without profanity.

    Feedback is welcome.

    I may have mentioned this, but I was born a bastard and worked hard to become an asshole. What makes me an asshole? Somebody who isn't an asshole wouldn't think the following, let alone post it.

    I've become extremely cynical about people requesting donations and calling it "mutual aid". Most people requesting help genuinely need it, but will never be in a position to help me should I ever need it, so from them "mutual aid" is just a disingenuous euphemism for charity.

    I refuse on principle to engage in charity: the principle being that I already pay taxes and that the taxes I pay should be used primarily to ensure that those in need get the help they need, regardless of who they are or whether they seem "deserving". Of course, that's not how it actually works, but I'm not sitting atop billions of dollars in wealth accumulated by shafting consumers, stiffing workers, and evading taxes so it's not really my problem.

    Likewise with "allyship". The way it's used nowadays, it seems like a demand upon the "privileged" to give of oneself without any expectation of reciprocity. I suppose that whether one responds to such demands depends on one's sense of noblesse oblige. For my part, I'm hardly noble, and I don't see myself as particularly privileged, so I have no sense of obligation toward people who seem to see me as nothing but a means to their ends and thus try to exploit me by playing on what vestigial idealism I still possess.

    Instead, I've come to think that Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo had it right when he said to Alfred's friends:

    “Perhaps what I am about to say will appear strange to you gentlemen, socialists, progressives, humanitarians as you are, but I never worry about my neighbor, I never try to protect society which does not protect me -- indeed, I might add, which generally takes no heed of me except to do me harm -- and, since I hold them low in my esteem and remain neutral towards them, I believe that society and my neighbor are in my debt.”

    I won't burn down the village just to feel its warmth, but if somebody else strikes a match, I will get involved lest my own house burn, too. I'm selfish, but not stupid, and my myopia primarily affects my eyesight, not my thinking.

    The plain fact is that despite having clawed my way into the ranks of the petit bourgeois, I can't seem to get my head out of survival mode. I might have gotten mine, but I could lose it all with a single mistake. Hell, I could do everything right and still lose, and nobody would give a shit because I'm privileged.

    Therapy hasn't helped. And I'm not so privileged that I can easily access effective mental health services, let alone afford them.

    @aral You usually have good takes, but this isn't one of them. What are people supposed to use instead of Firefox? Maybe #GNU #IceCat or #LibreWolf? That might work for you and me, but it's gonna be a hard sell for people who have enough trouble choosing #Firefox over #Chrome and #Edge.

    @aral Isn't Justin Jones the guy the rest of the TN state legislature tried to kick out?

    Yep. Turns out he is.

    @jill Forcing people to opt out of stuff like telemetry and targeted advertising is unethical because it presumes consent instead of making it possible for people to give informed consent. @aral

    @clacke I had gay neighbors as a young teenager. They never did anything to me, and knowing they were gay didn't stop me from thinking I was straight. If anything, hegemonic masculinity stopped me from considering the possibility that I might not be straight.
