Dear Linux desktop apps, you have full authorization to create a folder in my ~/.config directory, you are even invited to stuff your data in my ~/.local/share directory, and let's not forget about that ~/.cache y'all! Wunderbar! Much freedom!

So, now, please repeat after me:

👏 I 👏 SHALL 👏 NOT 👏 MAKE 👏 A 👏 FOLDER 👏 IN 👏 YOUR 👏 HOME 👏 DIRECTORY 👏

Thank you kindly

Team, I think I've cracked it.

The question is "Where can we find a robust, richly detailed dataset that generations of forensic economists and sociologists researching hypercapitalist and postcapitalist collapse will be able to mine for fascinating new PhD theses."

That's it, that's the question whose answer is "the blockchain".

OMG! I'm so excited to announce that through my work at @spritelyinst we've published A Scheme Primer: https://spritely.institute/news/the-spritely-institute-publishes-a-scheme-primer.html
Direct link: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.html

This document manages to serve two purposes:
- As a quick skim, it's a reasonable intro to "how to start programming with Scheme with no prior experience". Hey, tutorials are useful!
- But also, in less than 30 pages we manage to compress a TON of computer science ideas in a way that I think is really, really approachable.

The document ends with a code example, and full walkthrough, of a Scheme interpreter written in Scheme... in a mere 30 lines of code! It's like 3/4 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs compressed into a document you could read in an afternoon!

Free as in you will never be free of the life you’ve chosen.

I’ve been thinking about this thing I said flippantly the other day - https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/108567743924125191 - and I’ve realized that picking on individual services when there are bad actors all over is really the point, not some sort of failure. When you want to waste time, run out the clock and distract people, and convince people that government can’t address structural or systemic issues, it makes perfect sense to stick to indignance-whackamole.

What's really interesting is that the same manufacturer has four different pizza brands, because precisely targeting frozen pizza to segmented micro-demographics when the stuff is all made in the same factory is how capitalism works I guess.

I can see why you'd have a "luxury meat" brand and a "luxury vegan" brand but why there are two separate "cheap" brands (Mommas vs Leaning Tower) I don't quite get. And that's why I'm not a food CEO.
