I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services.

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

I wish more of my meatspace moots were night owls.

I love beeing a creepy snake witch. My ball python had a blast being a living hat and sniffin my eyeball and nearly getting stuck in my hair bun

My heart drops when I see a user in the wild posting chat GPT answers to creative "what if" questions instead of spending a bit of time thinking for fun. Or when they quote chatgpt as an authority on something after asking it a leading question and having zero actual knowledge to verify it.

Streamx is a cool library but the documentation skipps a bunch of important details. It'd be nice if the docs were more comprehensive, but at least I can read the source code to see what's "actually" true

Pretty disappointing that the web didn't end up getting a standard way of adding context menus to a page.

Ahhhhh. Simulating network failures with precise timing is such a pain in the ass.

I need to simulate sending data, it being queued up in the TCP buffer and the connection dying before the buffer is flushed. In Node.js Pausing transform streams doesn't seem to do the trick. Might have better luck with a funky duplex.

I love thrifting because you can find a weird looking vest for six bucks and it turns out to be some 200$ fancy vest

The Avalanches are good for soothing the bloodlust btw.

Reading through "The Joy of Abstraction" and it's neat so far. I feel like I finally get what a monad is and why it relates to programming after like 15 years of meming about it.

Remember kids, if you still feel intense bloodlust after having a snack and drinking water it means it's time to blast some funky music and clean the house till it goes away.

Makes me sad that #AMD #ROCm isn't officially supported on iGPUs. Like, it'll kinda run, but then it's likely to crash my window manager and freeze my machine. Sadly the stuff I want to use doesn't have vulkan support yet.

It worked out! I have practice from attending several talks during the online OurNetworks conf a few years ago :P

Meeting conflict? Just attend them both at once
