Tangentially related: I'm about to turn 65 and would be punished if I continued to pay for my own healthcare. My Obamacare/ACA insurance here in the state of Washington costs me $70K/year with premiums, deductibles, meds, etc. That's just for me and my wife.
And you know what? It's totally worth it to me. This year I had 4 operations+10 ER visits and my wife had 3 brain surgeries+radiation and 2 ER visits. About $2 million worth of treatments, quite good care overall. So I'm willing to continue paying for private insurance. I am fortunate I can pay for it and would like not to make you good folks pay for it.
But Medicare won't let me without penalizing me permanently more an additional 10% for every year I don't go on Medicare. Luckily Washington has phenomenal Medicare. But it would be nice if I weren't punished for trying not to be a burden to the dwindling population of taxpayers.

I believe GP is making the point that tokens are expensive atm so we are better at conserving them (the scroll back part), but soon it'll be so inexpensive or even free that we won't bother.

> Lula was allowed to do every "electoral crime" they barred Bolsonaro from doing in 2022. They even extended voting time, a move that directly benefiting him, and also ruled illegal back in 2022.

Your cavalier anti plank control attitude is what’s wrong with Americans

Brilliant! I'd get the pay per view just to see the judge's face when you made this proposal. Also you have balls of steel.

Tangentially, ravens sound like humans doing a bad imitation of ravens

Great idea! I don't understand this heartfelt statement:
I took notes by hand (fuck feeding the machine) and spent several hours being told what incorrect assumptions I'd made

They use this framework: https://learnbchs.org
Their example is:
#include <err.h> /* err(3) */
#include <stdlib.h> /* EXIT_xxxx */
#include <stdio.h> /* puts(3) */
#include <unistd.h> /* pledge(2) */
int main(void)
{
if (pledge("stdio", NULL) == -1)
err(EXIT_FAILURE, "pledge");
puts("Status: 200 OK\r");
puts("Content-Type: text/html\r");
puts("\r");
puts("Hello, world!\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;

That's exactly what I do. I'm fortunate enough to use the latest preview version, which is known to us beta testers as Notepad With Microsoft Copilot™ and only uses up about 2% of my phone data for telemetry per day (Preview 1.0.912 actually used over 14% daily lol). Plus they got working set size down to 11 gigs and disk usage down to 36.3 gigs.
