Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Paris' editors are awesome and made my hesitant rambling sound snappy and lively too. This came out extremely well.

immensely rare that I get to listen to podcasts because auditory processing derpery makes spoken things extremely effortful, but giving this a whirl because I'm doing a lot of electronics bullshit this morning so I can actually headspace words for once

regarding the bit at 33:00, that's actually something I've noticed remarkably starkly in fedi so far. the effects of being able to go "lol nah, fuck these clowns" and have some chud server cut off from federation just makes such a remarkably strong collective improvement. it's so thorough that I constantly see people posting about "know what I love about masto? that there's no racists here!". which, y'know, isn't entirely factual, there's absolutely chud instances out there. but the fact that there's no single Arbiter Of The Post Flow just makes so, so much difference

also I passively knew @dgerard was australian but somehow didn't expect quite that accent. keeps momentarily sounding like I'm hearing someone on comms in $game, but nope, not that

my accent veers uncertainly between middle class London bloke and much more extreme strayan than i spoke like when i lived there

I did enjoy the handful of strayanisms you dropped along the way
