The software is not the problem. Software breaks all the time. The problem is monocultures and centralization. Building entire industry ecosystems all around a single point of failure. This is the just-in-time manufacturing supply chain disruptions and fragility all over again.

Who knew, a diverse ecosystem was a strength, not a weakness.

The problem is the monoculture. We are fucking addicted to convenience and efficiency at all costs.

A diverse ecosystem, if a bit more work to manage, is much more resilient, and wouldn’t have been this catastrophe.

Our technology is great, but our processes suck. Standardization. Just in time. These ideas create incredibly fragile organizations. Humanity is so short sighted. We are screwed.

You see hate, I see a lighthearted joke.

It’s no wonder the world is so on edge. We have lost all social lubricant by putting discourse online instead of interacting in person.

Real life Armageddon: Bruce Willis & crew return home and are greeted by boos and protestors with “waste of taxpayer money” signs. Can you imagine…

Not too surprising if the people making malware, and the people making the security software are basically the same people, just with slightly different business models.

Americans are so accustomed to freedom, comfort and luxury, they take all of it for granted. Of course everyone is sticking their head in the sand: if you don’t have a sense of what you stand to lose, of course you aren’t going to voluntarily take on a little bit of discomfort to try to stop it.

Hard times make hard men, hard men make soft times, soft times make soft men, soft men make hard times <- we are right here.

Tonight at nine: society collectively normalizes letting manchildren spew their schoolyard abusive bullying all over everyone.

Fuck em. They know nothing about hardship and being manly. MAGAs are weak and pampered by the convenience of affluence, and project all this bullshit tough guy rhetoric to compensate for all that insecurity.

The reality is that all these “alpha males” are the first ones to run in cowardice in the face of actual hardship.

I suspect rebasing makes sequential commit IDs not really work in practice.

I think this is satire. Poe’s law is stronger than ever

How long until the general public figures out the difference between the ability to speak and the ability to reason?
