To nobody's surprise, the racist pile of linear algebra is also transphobic.

"But it's still better than the alternative!"

If they behave like mere human placeholders between GOP right wing/fascist regimes, as they have done for most of my adult life, the next GOP regime will be even more destructive.

And it *will* come. It will.

I have no confidence in these people. None.

As a citizen of the Fascist States of America, I already did my electoral duty earlier. I'm not going to pretend voting doesn't matter, because it does, it's just not the end of politics that too many seem to think it is.

I had choices with differences. One choice was between a fascist claiming to stand up to fascism when it's convenient, and an authoritarian bully. Another was between a pretty basic liberal and a fascist. About twenty options were folks running unopposed for local positions. Taking into account only my possible choices, best case is status quo. I really, really hate that this is the system we're stuck with, the greatest democracy on the planet, if you're to believe this country's patriotic morons.

Fuck that. I vote because it's literally the least I can do. And without massive changes, and waking Americans the fuck up, that's all it will ever be, and we'll continue this cycle until we've cooked the planet, kicked off a final world war, or whatever manages to end humanity.

I'm not optimistic.

The Peter Principle posits that people are promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. What happens *after* that point? https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/petered

Cuadron and Gupta 2026: "Built on Broken Assumptions (BOBA): Why Coding Agents Cannot Be Left Alone" https://arxiv.org/abs/2611.02207 "On average [agents] complete 95% of requests taken one at a time, but when requests are chained together they complete 51%…The cause is the mistakes agents miss. Coding agents declare a request done once their own tests pass even when those tests miss a mistake. The next request then builds on broken code and fails about twice as often. The mistake is rarely found later."

Patel et al 2026: "Do Coding Agents Catch Their Own Bugs? (They Don't.)" https://arxiv.org/abs/2611.01181 "We evaluate eleven large language models and find that FRR ranges from only 6.13% to 24.53%, indicating that models largely fail to address problems introduced by the first PR change."

@frontenddogma odd thing is i didn't write any of the current articles attributed to me

Well now I need to move off of Tuta too. Between their mealy-mouthed PR on genAI shit and the fact that their client is absolute dogshit, it's not a great experience.

Posteo doesn't do custom domains so that's out, unless I want to go through every damn service I use and change emails. Mailbox.org seems fine, I got a nice explainer from them on their genAI position and it's not as hardlined as I prefer though. Migadu maybe?

No matter how the elections turn out in the US today, at least I won't have to suffer through more inane political ads for a while now.

I'm pretty careful about curating media around me to filter out capitalist bullshit, but I've been avoiding watching anything on my free sub to Peacock particularly because of political ads. The non-political ones are bad enough, I can only watch short bursts of that service as it is. Luckily there's only a few things I actually want to see there.

Kind of annoying to have multiple things to be stressed about at once. Worrying about one thing at a time is more than enough work.

Dude. THIS HAS TO STOP.

Still #amReading Welcome to #AuDHD by Megan Griffith.

In the section on how to cope with the executive function piece of social engagements, she mentions working backwards from when you need to be somewhere to create a schedule (ex: I need to be there by 8, it takes me 15 min to get there, 30 min to get ready, so leaving a buffer I need to start getting ready at 7).

I'm fascinated to hear what the alternatives are?
How does anyone ever get somewhere on time without doing this?
