@ryo btw, corruption and freedom aren't mutually exclusive.

@ryo Nobody who wants to be taken seriously has talked of Ukraine as oppressive since Maidan. Corrupt, yes, but again, if you've paid any attention you'll know that there's been massive progress there. Still a long way to go, but I dare say it'd be going faster if they weren't being invaded. Nothing is as simple as your ridiculous worldview would have you believe.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend Timothy Snyder's briefing to the UN on "Russophobia". https://youtu.be/uBz9EeLeQ8w

@Keltounet @aral huh. That's odd. I've been using it for a while. Mostly happy with it.

@Keltounet @aral tilix?

It is frustrating that almost all discussion of software component abstraction is always predicated on object orientation. Object orientation is a flawed idea that makes software over-plumbed, slow, and rigid. But component abstraction are still very valuable, without treating indirect control authority as a primary goal.

Released Jai SimpleHTTP v0.4.0 - a tiny HTTP server written in Jai.

This version introduces support for both request and response middleware. Also fixed a memory leak and a few bugs.
This is the first version where I use git tags to tag the version, but will aim to do that henceforth.

My political leanings haven't changed much in the last decade. I'm still the same mutualist anarchist I always was. And like then, I don't believe strong adherence to ideology is useful or practical. It should be a guidance system, not an absolute ruleset. What's changed is my willingness to engage in political debate. I did exactly 1000 speeches in my 5 years in the Icelandic parliament, and they mostly changed nothing. Change may happen through debate, but I'm more interested in action.
