I like bicycles
I'm some form of socialist/anarchist and pro-labor / unions.

I like all of the programming languages and switch too often between them.
vi not vim, but emacs is ok too especially when doing lisp stuff.

Look a maintained Motif :)
I don't see an AGENTS file or a CLAUDE file in the source so far ...

I wish I could see likely outcomes from this, but it's too confusing.
Like how would a crash play out?
Or how can they not crash?
It's hard for me because the more we have hyper rich people, the
more I see money as not real.

I think the real point is that there is no policy.
I read Theo's reply on the mailing list.
It wasn't a policy, (even though it's kinda the closest thing there
is to one).
It was merely a reply to someone.
Maybe it should be broached again.
Who's up for it? :)
I'm kinda afraid to.

I don't see your reasoning. Because OpenBSD already contains
LLM code it's OK to put more in?
The first thing you do when the sink is overflowing is to
turn off the water. (Getting a mop is second.)
Theo is just a man after all, I'm not into cult of personalities.

OpenBSD ports mailing list is talking about importing
claude and anthropic and other crap.
I'm dissapointed at the lack of pushback.
I like OpenBSD but not that much.

I guess it's just ports so it's all optional, but i still don't have to like it.
Also these are not "development" tools.

nice bike, especially the lack of disk brakes, and the multiple
rear facing red lights. :)

Messenger bag?
I was looking to get a larger messenger bag.
I have the generic and also pretty big timbuk2 bag
from ~20 years ago. Who makes a current good
super heavy duty bags now? (like the older timbuk2)
Like I DON'T want a laptop sleeve, that makes
me think it's probably not a good bag.

Communication can be seen as a dialectic process
where ideas go from context and nuance to category.
I tell you about my day.
To you that becomes "the story of a mans day".
I think part of my problem with current culture
and I do think it is a part of what we call capitalism.
That flow of context -> category, is "optimized" into
category -> category.
Capitalism as we are experiencing it is blowing away
nuance for ideals and categories. "The poor" not people
that need to eat. "The war", not the profoundly
more import "nuance" that innocent people are
willfully bombed and starved.
This is brought to you by mostly white men arguing
for LLM. They think that they have the right to
engage in a purely category ->category rhetoric.
That is what western capitalism teaches white men.

Yes.

#deltachat I think I should try delta chat.
I use #OpenBSD .
But also I want it to work for people that have android and IOS phones.
(I assume that is the easy part once I get it to work for myself.)
Which client should I use?
The python one that uses urwid looks not maintained.
And then I was just gonna choose one or both of the main
servers from the docs:

I quit my high paying job mostly because I was pigeonholed into developing with
OpenAI/LLM/agents RAG and all of that. I was even good at it, but it is all so stupid to me.
Across the company they were starting to make us use copilot.
It got to the point that writing good code and developing cohesive systems
was not even on the radar. It was all just vibe code BS. I couldn't do it.
I guess I'm a luddite, but I don't care. I am one of those people that
thinks deleting code is usually of higher value than adding code.
I've always worked with mostly programmers that kinda just went along,
but usually the lead programmers were at least decent to good.
Not anymore at the job I was at. It was all hype, BS, and garbage code.
I worked for a while doing maintenance kind of work on large java projects.
I know how painful it is to fix code where people just added and added and added.
It's like the US tax code.
Anyways good luck :P

I just watched Pantheon. It was good. Scavengers Reign was better.
Weirdly I need to consider shows parables sometimes to not be annoyed by
them. So Pantheon to me was not realistic, but Scavengers Reign was :)

Corollary Hot Take ?
If you are not afraid of kubernetes then you do not know enough about kubernetes.
