@RikKoedoot George Orwell's 1984 is a classic, and I also like Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

@RikKoedoot Definitely! If dystopian settings are your thing this is very very good.

@jeff @sandofsky That's wrong, the native apps are built with the platform-native UI toolkits.

@elyes they just publish information about the registrar, you can see it in action for my domain on Porkbun: https://www.whois.com/whois/msfjarvis.dev

@elyes FWIW most domain registrars will mask your WHOIS information

I have managed to fuck up my #Windows install to the point where I can play games but not open the calculator, I'm certainly a generational talent. At least this gives me an excuse to do a clean reinstall and get rid of all the HP bloatware.

Good news: The NS switch worked out fine.
Bad news: I forgot that Netlify's integration for the domain used non-standard records that weren't in my DNSControl configuration so my homepage is broken :blobFacePalm:

I was having a great weekend so far so I've flipped the DNS nameservers on my personal website from #Netlify to #Porkbun, looking forward to the eventual hours of pain this will cause so I can have some spice to this otherwise chill vacation I'm on.

@jakehamilton Northernlion playing horse girl game was absolute cinema though

@mez I have Sveltia CMS hooked up to GitHub so I can write on the go and have it be saved to the GitHub repo

@kiranrao @botteaap there are worse takes from the same person that I'm sparing myself the psychic damage of digging up.

```
I’m being a little glib, but the logic behind covering OpenAI is, at this point, “it makes a lot of money and its product is popular,” which is also a fitting description of Lockheed Martin. The difference is that OpenAI has a consumer product that loses billions of dollars, and Lockheed Martin has products that make billions of dollars by removing consumers from the Earth.
