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. 😅

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

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

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 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

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

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?

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.

We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.

It's the classic FOSS funding problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been more important. And yet we can't pay our bills.
