Ahoy-hoy darkness, my old friend

My latest newsletter is about a piece of legislation that will make the internet much, much worse for all of us — unless we fight now. buttondown.email/charliejane/... (I wrote this before I got a positive covid test. Gonna go goof off now.)

I cannot give enough praise to the EFF for being one of the most important organizations for our rights in our lifetime.

girlfriend: I'm seeing someone behind your back me: *believes in ghosts* is it my grandpa

What the absolute fuck?

Does opening a VS Code workspace file over SSH that configures its folders to be a Yarn PNP monorepo's packages on the remote host and saving that workspace file to that monorepo really make me an edge case? 😬

the semver equivalent of shitposting

Controversial take: anti-AI stances are pro-work stances. Make work obsolete; do art for intrinsic motivation, not profit. Enact UBI.

This is hell

Who is America's Least Talented individual?

Does anyone here want to touch tips?

I actually care deeply what you think about the movie Pulp Fiction AND your "the next big thing" app idea for which you just need to find a programmer that you'll pay in revenue after it launches, AND I want you to, during a party, show me all your favorite YouTube videos... not! 😂 😂 🤣 😂
