For the past year, we've tracked all finances for Hundred Rabbits using a bespoke spreadsheet program that's only 9kb(no it's not a webapp). I was scratching my head wondering how we could link sheets with each other so that we could jump between them, I realized that a spreadsheet itself is just fine as a file browser if you can open the strings as paths. Obviously it looks super weird if I try to open a markdown file as a tsv.. External Attachment: Opening files from cells in a spreadsheet.

Today ICE arrested 15 more minnesotans who protested against the invasion of Minnesota a few months back: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/16/minnesota-immigration-enforcement-conspiracy-charges One week after the GOP gave them $70 billion on a strict party line vote: They're still abducting dozens of people daily and flying them out from the airport.

I finally published my new project, the Banned Book Library! Think of it as a #Cyberpunk dead drop. Reprogram an #esp32 WiFi light bulb to host a web server with books banned in your community. Screw them in wherever is convenient :D. You can't stop the signal! https://www.richardosgood.com/posts/banned-book-library/ This was partially inspired after reading @benbrown short story "Library" a while back.

@BalooUriza I'm not talking about only republicans, but also democrats, unaligned centrists, and the politically disengaged masses. political leaning is irrelevant to the whims of the neoliberal core, the only thing that matters to them is control and profit - they get to manufacture the narrative and define reality to suit their desires.
remember in early 2022 when biden announced "its time to go back to work" as if hospitals weren't still saturated with COVID-related deaths? when the CDC abruptly changed their reporting methods and fabricated consent for mask mandates to be dropped almost everywhere?
I'm sure you remember most of this but it bears repeating again: all of this was done with intent. 2020's initial lockdowns exposed the US economy as a flimsy house of cards and pushed it to the verge of collapse. neoliberal elites begged for a bailout and received it under the guise of "relief" and "stimulus" packages, 0% interest rates, and the fed outright directly buying corporate debt under the quantitative easing program.
they took advantage of what was essentially unlimited "free" money to pump the stock market and completely detach it from the reality of the "working class" economy. by the end of 2021 the stock market went from a virtual crash to all-time highs and billionaire elites gained trillions in net worth.
all of this wealth extraction happened while us commoners were more concerned with trying to cope with the fallout of record inflation, unemployment, supply chain failures, >1 million COVID cases and hundreds of deaths daily. despite the bleakness of reality for the vast majority of americans, the neoliberal core wasn't satisfied with record profits and endless corporate liquidity, they wanted to "reopen the economy" and to abandon all the expensive safety guidelines. it took very little effort for them to coerce the government into declaring the pandemic officially over and to roll back what limited mediocre protections had been created.
we're still dealing with the fallout of this shit 4 years later, reality has finally been completely subverted as far as the current government and media is concerned. thankfully yes, more and more people are finally realising it's all bogus, but it shouldn't have had to get to this point before that happened

@mauve technical side: an acme/sam-like text editor with a 9p backend. been trying the frontend in uxn but the text rendering boilerplate is taking too long to build out so i am thinkin of trying an alternate frontend stack in go nontechnical side: writing and designing characters for a yuri manga

🌊 Smoky water and collapsing seaforts. Combining storm surges with neutral density filters and experimenting to create something a little different! I shot these long-exposure photos of the abandoned Karosta sea forts in Latvia. I love how they turned out (even better that I, somehow, managed to not drop my camera into the sea!) 📌 Karosta Sea Forts & Coastal Defence Battery, Latvia (removed 9 useless tags)

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/fascismnew-federal-rule-would-require No spoiler hiding for this one, my loves. I need EVERYONE to see this. Boost this fucker to the MOON. Screenshot it, include my name, and spread it EVERYWHERE. Sorry for the grim news. But I think this is important, and I want each of you in your respective countries to think about whether you'd be willing to contact your representative to tell them to pressure Canada to open the doors to trans refugees. That's it. No changes in your countries are needed - just people willing to stand up and say "Never Again". This is the bad one. This is the Nuremberg Race Laws being enacted. This will basically strip all ability from any federally-funded entity - ANY - that allows that trans people exist. This one, my friends, I'm sorry, but it's the choice to genocide the trans population of the US. A nice quiet one. Where we all just fade into obscurity, and are never seen again. They want to cause us so much despair that we will take care of the final solution part for them. Please. If you give a damn about humanity, and people's rights to live as who they are...basic human dignity. Health care. Not being force-detransitioned in prisons that we've been put into because we were designated terrorists by the Nazi regime of Trump. Just contact your rep, whoever that is, wherever that is, and start that conversation for me, okay? Just ask them to start asking questions. Of Canada. We have a chance to save literally hundreds of thousands of innocent US trans folk. I can handle the work on this end, in Canada. I have people I can mobilise, work with. But international pressure would be an ENORMOUS help. If you want to translate my post into your language, please do. If you DM me the text, I will re-post it myself, and take the arrows for spreading the call. I - we - need your help.
ugh in addition to my stupid waste of time interview this morning the 2 most promising leads i had for contract work over the summer just backed out on me this past week after stringing me along. extremely frustrating.

I guess fundamentally my objection to vibe coding and LLM contributions in general is that, at least to me, the process of figuring shit out is the point. I think cutting out that journey is bad engineering, because design docs are rarely correct on the first try.
