Also, worth noting that at the time I could have a dinner made of oreos and surge, play Ultima Online until 3am, wake up bright-eyed and guilt-free, and with a plan to do it all again the next night. Someone should bring that back, too.

I remember learning in kindergarten that HOMES was a useful acronym for remembering the five great lakes. A bit on the nose to change it to SHAME, isn't it?

Oh agreed. I was young and inexperienced, but even then I knew I was selling myself short. But I knew my clients couldn't afford an agency either, so billing a tenth of the price was a win for both of us. Maybe that hatred just comes as you grow bigger. Either way, I wish you better clients!

I don't like the blanket vilifying of small business owners. I have worked with some absolutely amazing clients, especially in the days when I was charging far too little for freelance work. It's important to set expectations and limits. Maybe I was just lucky, but there are good people out there.

These guys? Probably not. I've done freelance graphic design for small businesses and if you're farming it out for beer money then the back and forth is pretty minimal. The people who are more involved are usually the ones with some kind of passion but not the skill set.

For many designers, however, this would mean that their managers begin provide far more details about what they actually want, and lower their bar for expectations while raising their opinion of the worker 🫠

Numerous studies, including from the FBI itself, show that invasive mass surveillance tech like Flock and Axon's automatic license plate readers don't help police fight crime. Surveillance is not safety.

Okay no. No no no no no no no no no. WHY are we rebranding Vote Blue No Matter Who right now? WHY are we saying "we need to be against fascism" when the reason we have that fascism is because everyone is too scared to say affordability? This is just going to repeat the cycle. I hate it here.

A lot of them aren't creatives, don't know what makes art "good", and want to do things as cheaply as possible. These aren't character flaws (it doesn't make you any less of a chef, for example), but they absolutely make you the perfect candidate for farming things out to AI.

There's probably already a white paper on takedown-resistant botnets that I'm too lazy to find, but ideally you'd want to maintain a massive pool of domains (maybe through a dyndns type service so it's harder to shut down the root) so a single takedown doesn't kill everything. Or just return to IRC.

ndm @ndm.raccoon.codes · 26/08/2026

You need some kind of fixed point for phone-back, no? Unless you're embedding an entire P2P/altnet stack, that's either going to be a domain or an IP, both of which can be seized. Or am I missing something?

the main function of IoT is to give the malware ecosystem a substrate to thrive on that's not our personal computers. by making boatloads of laughably insecure devices, we can coexist in harmony with malware by giving it an easier target that nobody really cares about

this hypothesizing about a more "fully automated" near-future, this positing of "creating new jobs" as the answer to existing jobs no longer being necessary betrays that the logic of labor relations is fundamentally not about necessity: it is something that must be *perpetually kept necessary*
