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. 😅

Surprisingly oil prices have only been like 10 cents per liter higher in my area. About 170 cents instead of 160. Canada bucks

Which is precisely why it’s such a powerful concept. Because it’s entirely imaginary, it can be anything. Which is why it’s easy to apply to the broader internet, to software development practices, and to product trajectories, but it requires extensive mangling to make it extend to the global south. Enshittification is in contrast to decolonial and antiimperialist critiques. Enshittification explicitly calls back to early social media and cheap Netflix and the general free money period of VC funded startups that from the start were aimed at creating monopolies and destroying regulation.

The popular understanding of enshittification gets things precisely backwards. It's not that digital platform startups set out to make valuable services for consumers, but end up making changes that tilt the balance toward exploitation. Rather, exploitation was the destination from the very start, and user satisfaction was a means of scaling up the pool of exploitable users. Enshittification is planned, not inevitable.

> An agent has no such learning ability. At least not out of the box. It will continue making the same errors over and over again. Depending on the training data it might also come up with glorious new interpolations of different errors.

This is the main thing that I find annoying about LLMs tbh.

Resisting the urge to get more gadgets :P Some people spend all their money on fancy cars or resort vacations. I spend it on food and the odd gizmo.

I live not too far from a school and can sometimes hear them screeching during their recess break. Not a fan of the distraction but their lung capacity is impressive. 🙃

1. assume every camera has film unless you personally verify otherwise
2. never point a camera at something you're not willing to photograph
3. never put your finger on the shutter button until you're ready to take a photograph
4. always be aware of the subject of your photograph and what is behind the subject

Fool's spring really got my hopes up again this year and dashed them extra hard with this cold weather. When will I learn. 🥲

If we're entering neo-feudalism then people in power should get back to having duels to the death to preserve their honor. It's only fair

I wonder if billionaires watch bugs life with their family and empathize with the grasshoppers. "See kids, this is why we need to keep them down"

Hot take: I feel like media from the 2000s (e.g. anime) holds up better than stuff from the 80s did in the 00s. Maybe it's just my age bracket though?
