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.

So eepy

These guys are pretty cool. Kinda a mix of psychedellic and punk? #music #Ottawa

Wish I had more brain power after work so I can tinker more. I end up spending my weekends out and about with loved ones in meatspace so my cyberself's growth has been slower lately.

I love hookah which is why I only allow myself to use it once every few weeks. 🥲

What's a reasonable price to pay for a single track on bandcamp? Idk what artists expect. This is a mostly unknown local band

On the other hand, maybe I should learn to use `ed` and enhance it with LSP capabilities

Making good progress in ditching VScode. Currently redoing my workflow around `fresh`. It's pretty decent as a replacement since all I really wanted was the language server features so I can benefit from all this static typing. Runs a bit slow on my ARM SBC but it's workable!

I genuinely forget I stand out or look unusual in the slightest. Then I remember a lot of people can't even get employment due to their piercings and tattoos and queer disposition. 🙃 Yay for internet jobs I guess?

Still need to map the interrobang via unicode escape sequence keystrokes to my chorded keyboard

These Microsoft based "silica disks" that store 4.8TB of data are pretty cool, but the density is kinda crappy for consumer uses.

Can't wait for these "5d memory crystals" to become viable for consumers. Gotta hook it up to my seedboxes and media library :P

Literally just tried to use my one handed keyboard to navigate this window when I noticed the notifs through the terminal I have open on my face. 🤪

Gotten to the point where I'm wearing my head mounted display hooked into my cyberdeck puck while I also have my handheld cyberdeck docked to my monitor. Gotta remember which keyboard to use and which program is open where sometimes.

git dihh

What do folks with physical #accessibility needs do about apps that seem to only scroll reliably with a mouse scroll wheel? I feel like a lot of them entirely ignore page up/down keys and overrload arrow keys to do more than scroll one line at a time. Mastodon web is pretty annoying for this.

I just want sugar free beverages without the artificial sweeteners. Gimme the raw chemical soup.
