Psychedelic Entities: are the DMT aliens real or just fancy optical illusions?
What it feels like to get struck by lightning: spoiler alert—you do not get superpowers!
A piece in the NYT by Sam Kriss about shitty AI writing style. AI discourse is really starting to bore the shit out of me. I do NOT want to talk about it anymore!!! Please!!! Still, I'll take a free piece from Sam. Man, he's so cool. I wish the NYT would pay me to write for them one day. An idiot can only dream.
Wait, NYT isn't letting their articles get archived? Maybe I don't want to get paid to write for them after all.
FOSS people are raging about systemd installing "age verification". Honestly, I've tried understanding the systemd hate, but it really doesn't make any sense. One of the main guys behind systemd refuted a bunch of the criticisms people have for it. It's also kind of insane how people's biggest gripe is that it doesn't follow UNIX philosophy while literally using an operating system called GNU's NOT UNIX!!! More than that, if you really don't like all the other stuff that systemd has that isn't the init system, you can literally just not have them on your machine because systemd is a modular program with over 60 binaries. Most distros do this already and don't use a lot of those binaries out of the box.
Morrissey, the guy who sang for The Smiths, canceled a show because he got sleepy. Most famous musicians are temperamental types and Morrissey is a cantankerous old fart now, so this checks out. Having a hotel experience so bad that he thinks it'll take at least a year to recover from is pretty funny. I wouldn't go to a show anyway though; his music kinda sucks.
