From the comments under the YouTube video which I rewatch every year since 2010, I have learned of the passing of #RayShulman. I'm deeply saddened by this... It may sound a bit goofy, but lately, #GentleGiant releases a lot of new visual content, music videos and all. All the Shulmans got together and made the anniversary release of #GentleGiant discography.

It feels like Ray could have done so much more...

Don't trust people who don't like #GentleGiant.

The best band ever.

Was taking a shower, thinking about my art and tech project ideas for which I'd rather have a team, thinking about the heroic efforts of @spacekookie with their projects *while* getting funding while coping with an immense amounts of bureaucracy. (BTW, give them your money! #Irdest[1] HAS TO GET ADOPTED!).

I think that in a society with guaranteed basic income or in a self-sovereign, self-sufficient commune we (collectively) could have achieved so much more. Our time here is finite, why do we need to have such a shit baseline for existence?

The aren't ironic questions, perhaps some #capitalism fan will answer with some meta-analysis or something. I'm especially interested in hearing from people who understand how decision-making is organised in existing #socialist-congruent countries like #Sweden, #Germany and #Canada. How come your governments didn't establish universal income yet? Is it considered? What are the actual drawbacks?

#ManillaRoad is very very very good.

I was thinking about XML, toml and JSON and I realised that they should be small. As long as they are small, they are readable and comprehensible.

Interestingly, XML scales a little bit better because it reminds you of the context when the context ends.

I really like some systems that incorporate inlining the code into their configs, but I'd prefer for it to go the other way — have configs in code.

The way #elixir and #webpack handle configuration is almost perfect.

You kinda have to have a schedule if you live in Croatia. But also I feel pressured to work late because during work day I have to go to a shop. If I won't, it will be closed.

I remember I've adjusted to this lifestyle, but after being out of country for five years, it feels surreal again.

So apparently that was 6th longest game in the history of the sport. I need to look up the stats now.

U wot mate? That's quite a number of overtimes. The most I've ever seen. #NHL

Please contribute to #TimeGhost #DDay project. Their sponsor has pulled out and this absolutely has to happen.

Vast majority the bigots and chauvinists turn out to be what they denounce. Weak crybabies, decisively and demonstrably unfit for life in a society.

It's a bit hilarious how jaded these douchebags are. I have observed a similar situation where a bunch of people in a community I was, have pushed back against bigotry, but nobody was even forcing the bigots out. They cried and whined and slammed the door in their way out.

They ended making their own community with just three people, talking about how "woke bastards have done them nasty" in a spiteful and revanchist tone.
