Episode Details

On this show, I play a song from Brooke Eden; having the full blog publishing loop working makes me want to publish more posts; dynamic podcast ads are becoming so bad and so plentiful that I am motivated to remove them; all ad removers use LLMs; I am so angry at the LLM companies for poisoning a useful technology with their financial scams; Democrats love to sign me up to mailing lists against my will; I used fake initials to figure out which magazine sold me out to junk mailers; I love Ruby on Rails as a web development tool but I hate David Heinemeier Hansson; Marc Andreesen is the dickhead whose name I blanked on; my people have been in America for centuries and I have no problem with immigrants; it is a Sisyphean task to try to keep evil companies and people out of your life and toolchain; some cliches of TV and movies have gotten on my last nerve; did you just say the title of the show? the detective always figures things out 3 seconds before the bomb explodes; I have made my bed on the YouTube algorithm and now I must lie in it; The Hack-A-Day podcast is my new place to find projects to expand my horizons; please suggest starter electronics projects for me!
