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. 😅

@grumpygamer imagine if you could only call people if they had the same provider as you.
Imagine if you had to have the same email provider as someone you needed to talk to.
We need open and standardized systems.

I think on the Canadian citizenship test they should just ask you if dates are written month/day/year or day/month/year, and then show an object and ask if it's measured in inches or cm, and if you know the answers to either of these questions they don't let you in. You're not ready to be Canadian yet

Anyone working with printers in their #activism should know about tracking dots. This project helps deal with them.
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.

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 🤷

Excited for the goat simulator direct today. Hope it's a new DLC or something.

read Javi's post from last month about Chromium's Ed25519 implementation to learn about the challenges in getting the last bits over the finish line.

The cure for nihilism is some sunshine and fresh air apparently 🤪 The mind truly is a plaything of the body

we whipped up a bittorrent swarm that has 200TB of proven storage in like a month by cobbling together everyone's random hard drives. storing 200TB on s3 would cost at least $4.5k per month and would cost $10,000 to download it one time.
why is the cloud good
The MMORPG DLC for Goat Simulator is probably my fave DLC ever. It hit all the right nostalgia buttons the first time I played it.
Nihilism
How do I skip nihilism and jump right to absurdism? Is there a book or something to cure the doom?
