      <description>&lt;p&gt;The other day, a post on the fediverse caught my attention, linking to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/25/24254042/mark-zuckerberg-creators-value-ai-meta&#34;&gt;this article from The Verge.&lt;/a&gt; I thought I&amp;rsquo;d make some things clear.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s been three months, and life has moved forward a little. Today&amp;rsquo;s rant is one&#xA;that&amp;rsquo;s been brewing in me for a long time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the most pernicious, annoying, frustrating, infuriating aspects of online&#xA;businesses is the influence of non-technical management.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Scrolling LinkedIn today, I saw a post talking about the entitled attitude of&#xA;business owners when hiring&lt;label for=&#34;sidenote-1&#34; class=&#34;margin-toggle sidenote-number&#34;&gt;(1)&lt;/label&gt;&#xA;&lt;input type=&#34;checkbox&#34; id=&#34;sidenote-1&#34; class=&#34;margin-toggle&#34;/&gt;&#xA;&lt;span class=&#34;sidenote&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;span class=&#34;sidenote-number&#34;&gt;(1)&lt;/span&gt;Sorry for not linking to it, I can&amp;rsquo;t morally support that platform.&#xA;&lt;/span&gt;&#xA;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been meaning to make a list of Factorio mods that I&amp;rsquo;ve really liked, and write a little bit about them. While Factorio is a masterpiece in both game design and quality, there are many mods for it that make the game either more fun, entirely different, or plain ol&amp;rsquo; QoL.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Over The Past few weeks I&amp;rsquo;ve found myself spending more and more time in Emacs. As such, I want to learn more about it, and how to use it effectively. It seems worth the effort, because if I save 5 seconds every day, that stacks up and saves inordinate amounts of time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
