If you disagree with me on a thing and it pisses you off, take this for whatever effect it has:

Trans rights are human rights, black lives do, in fact, matter, no human is illegal, fuck Trump, bash the fash, and I hope every datacentre in North America burns to the ground.

65X-DOS now has so many command line utilities they won't all fit on the ROM-disk.

I may not be as good a programmer as Richard Stallman but I also don’t sexually harass women and I don’t defend nonces, and I’m just as hardcore about my principles.

I care about X11 because I like Motif. I like the chunky chiseled look and feel. I like the way the API works. I like how fast it is on anything reasonably modern. I like how it doesn’t try to be flashy and shiny.

This shit is what I've been saying for years now. GNU is a collection of nonces and nonce defenders.

What's wrong with the GNU project? How do the developers of GNU Parallel think "Hmm yeah that sounds like a good and proper release name"?? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2026-06/msg00000.html

I’ve been using plain old Debian stable for ages.

I wonder if maybe I should move to a more modern target platform. But modern systems all suck so bad.

I love the C64. I know it inside and out. But I wonder if perhaps I'm wasting my time making C64 games. There seems to be a segment of the community who thinks everything should be free, and damn me for needing to eat.

Not that I have much to bitch about. The C64U I bought has earned me back more than it cost to buy. And because I used it to earn, I can claim it as a professional tool and therefore an expense.
