As beautiful as it was the ending of Breath of the Wild was doubly disappointing.

The depth of Breath Of The Wild is ridiculous. There is so much of everything.

It occurs to me to wonder about the role of speed limits in a world of Waze and GMaps.

In a bygone era, you would routinely see congestion on main arteries and empty secondaries. That seems to be mostly no longer the case, because universal nav systems normalize the field.

So, if speed limits are intended to enforce safety, what does that mean during congestion periods like rush hour? How is the calculus different in our globally-positioned world?

Cleaning up some deliciously vintage Free Software Edgelording in our issue tracker. "I graduated top of my class in the FSF", classic.

An autocomplete guess has just given me the choice between "everybody's gone to the rapture" and "everybody poops", which feels far more like an existential life choice than it should.

Free as in calling your elected representatives every single day to beg for your health and humanity.

Internet: link me to a song that takes you back to a very specific place, a very specific time, like a moment of your life and piece of yourself have been captured inside it, frozen in amber.

Just the song. No further explanation.

That ten minute calendar notification gives you juuuust enough time to think "I'll check my email" and then get to the meeting ten minutes late.
