Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 21/08/2026God I hate corporate-speak. Did the guy I was talking to read "fuck this fucking guy" into my "I want to get this done before [my normal approver] comes back?" Can I read "yeah, he's an asshole" into his "I get it, but..."? argh. 200

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Watching: Shudderbugs Decently shot and acted, but Jesus God nothing is happening. There's no suspense or tension or stakes or rising action or anything. 1:17 in and its barely about anything. 100
Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 01/06/2026There is a movie that was beneath Joe Estavez, my god. He is in Future Force for a scene that runs from 9:37 - 12:22, where he is killed by our actual villains. IMDB does not have his name in the credits. 110

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Not meant as a criticism of the comic, but: this genuinely gives RFK Junior too much credit. Baggage handlers were at least hired by the airport for a competency that mattered. RFK Jr. was selected for anti-competency. Its more like if the passengers made a random flerf the pilot. 000
Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I played in a Star Trek RPG once, and I insisted on wearing a spacesuit every time we beamed down to a planet. Eventually the GM yelled at me, "come on, man, you have to allow the plot to happen." 030
Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 20/05/2026One of the trivial answers to this question is just "because the shit you want to learn eventually builds on the shit I'm teaching you now." Oh, you don't like pointer/array symmetry in C? But you'd like to learn OpenGL programming, yeah? Well, I have bad news... 010
Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 18/05/2026The Devil Within: actually really good so far. Rough. This is not a fun and upbeat movie. …holy shit, that's a real D. C. Talk song they just used. 200

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Spent a couple days off-and-on writing a podcast downloader in rust. Working with quick_xml was torture; never finished it. Tried a comparison in C#, which I also don't know: incredibly quick and painless. Done in an hour and a half, including learning how to do everything. Fuck rust, kinda. 100
Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I've been learning Rust lately, and it's not going great. I have a lot of gripes, but the one that's getting me right this second is how batteries-not-included it is compared to python. So many "how do I do XYZ" questions require external libraries, in cases that python stdlib just covers. 120

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Two things can be true at once. It can be true that conservatives are entirely dishonest actors -- lying authoritarian shit-heels in fact -- on free speech. And it can also be true that the liberal ultra-prog left are terrible on this issue too. 100

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Not only is this completely horrible from both a liberal and an environmentalist perspective, but this is also the complete abandonment of conservative politics from like 1950 to 2008. I know we all know this, but it's important to remember. 120

Glietzsche @gleech.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Predator: Badlands Actually pretty good! It's a bog-standard coming-of-age story, but for that, I really liked it. The alien world is vibrant, we get some creative monsters and hazards, and they deliver a touching story with sparse dialog and emotive critters. 120
