I've been around internet enough to expect "Scented Candles" to be some insanely disgusting psychosexual performance art, not... literal fucking candles.

I'm sorry what is any of this. I'm scared to click any of the things since I can't even comprehend the content warning.
Counterpoint, his entire "tweeting through it" public show he's been putting out is emblematic of a deeply insecure person.
Big contender for "Worst Website Name Ever"

lisp (...) [has] a long history of being treated as the magic that’ll enable the machine god
Nonsense, we all know the robot god will be hacked together in Perl.
Not using gmail for personal email hurts me both socially and professionally, & has probably kept me out of the running for jobs
Wait, I'm sorry, what? Can you elaborate on this?
I used to argue with people that from all of the giants (the FAANG nonsense) MSFT was "the good guys" because they were doing god's work with FOSS. I still think .NET is an amazing technology and everyone working on it should be praised.
But then I got actually hired by MSFT and... you quickly realise this is just surface level shit. No one in management could give less of a fuck about open-source, or anything other than Growth™ for that matter. I speedran disillusionment and quit after little more than a year. In the end, it's just a big corpo doing big corpo shit. It has no values. It has no morals. It has no vision, other than that of a high $MSFT number.
If MSFT did anything good it's despite internal pressures and incentives, not thanks to them.
