i took two $2 ceramic bowls from bimart, a bbq grill insert, and a mini woodstove, and baked a mini natural sourdough loaf, which shall henceforth be called Bowl Bread. it has me thinking about how our not just our dreams, but our beliefs around what we need are programmed by marketing departments. there is a great sense of joy and freedom in breaking that

til, the 2008 Chinese melamine milk scandal. Where a corporation put the chemical precursor to plastic production “melamine” into their baby formula to get falsified protein levels resulting is tens of thousands of hospitalizations. The Chinese government gave the chairwoman of the company a life sentence, and the two people that provided the chemicals and bad milk were executed.

OpenBSD’s current stance on vibecoding in the core system: “OpenBSD needs rights granted by a human copyright holder, and that as of now “the Copyright system does not have a way” for non-human-produced files to contain the permissions OpenBSD needs for combination and redistribution.” They are willing to use AI tools to find bugs, but all code has to be hand written.

by this fall, 50% of the Linux kernel will be vibecoded.

most people do not understand how many people refused to acknowledge what the Nazis were doing, and even tried to cover for them. We don’t understand how many people refused to acknowledge what was happening in the 1930s. Media, industry leaders, politicians… many refused to acknowledge the atrocities and even called it propaganda. It was not until Germany fell that the depth of truth came out. In a sickening irony, the same thing is happening with Israel. Many are afraid to admit that the current government of Israel is as evil as the Nazi party. They fear being called anti-Semitic, and don’t want to “get involved”. I suspect history will not be kind to them when the truth breaks out.

ive come to believe that what Israel is doing in Gaza is on par with what the Nazis did. And that we dont want to see it because its so heavy. This level of sustained organized evil is impossible to make sense of, so we hide from acknowledging it.

its not light, or easy, but i want to see the truth.

you know those people who comment in weird, wordy, self seeking, hostle ways? not people who substantively disagree, but the weird ones. you know if you know. yeah, i really wonder how many of those are real people, and how many are part of botswarms. which i suspect we underestimate the number of.

decentralized AI combined with the nostr protocol scares the shit out of the broligarchs.

walking around gathering eggs, herbs, greens, and wild greens in a bowl in the morning sun is really something else. humbling kind of energy also, bring tongs for the nettles.

the US government increasingly uses dehumanizing labels as cover to violate citizens constitutionally protected rights. and in my opinion, they do this because fundamentally, the core culture of Washington D.C. is now treason. sometimes i need to say what i believe to be the truth outloud, even if no one agrees.

til, a florida woman was pulled over for texting while driving. the officer insisted she had been texting with her right hand. she then showed the officer that she did not have a right hand. the retarded and poorly trained officer still ticketed her for texting with her right hand.

in all the time i have been on nostr, my respect for @ODELL as a person has only grown.

my wife works as a teacher in a small experimental school that works with normal kids with unusual learning problems. they use some unorthodox methods involving games and tasks that challenge hand eye coordination, and stimulate/train brain adaptation. things which to many would seem “unrelated”. but the results are nearly miraculous sometimes and are starting to garner attention. just really proud of her 🙂

it may be dawning on some nostriches that to really be free may require being less popular than they are comfortable with.

it would be cool to fly a drone at night out over a mesh node to update all my subscriptions and fly it back to read all my updates.
