I agree. This isn’t the 1980s any more, and we’re past the point that one person can build an operating system. And this is a large chunk of an operating system.
This is why I’m not even trying. But if people were willing to try with me, and I trusted them, I might change my mind.

@pdmckone@mstdn.caThe audience is outraged. "You'll never get away with this!"
As the limo begins its leisurely getaway, the Ginger Bear rolls down his window, turns directly to the audience and says, "I'll cut you a cheque. Two hunnerd enough?"

@glauber@writing.exchange"My own hope and belief about what would transpire last night was sadly and profoundly wrong—like many, I have the emotional and intellectual flaw, if that’s what it is, of assuming that people are wiser and more decent than they actually turn out to be.

"What!?" the audience shouts. "I thought this was a caper flick. He's done nothing but wreak destruction and leave a mess for others to clean up."
The director shrugs, "yeah."
