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.

To be clear I am not a wallclock hater. I've used it too and it's fine for like 99% of situations (if not more)

What's a clock drift? About 50 milliseconds. 🤣

Lamport timestamps? Merkle Clocks? ha ha I think you mean `Date.now()`.

What's a clock drift??

HLCs get a pass.

wallclock based yolo conflict resolution is the powerhouse of the decentralized system.

BTW I got a shittier (and cheaper!) version of this so I'll see if I can make any progress on it.

15. Since I am insatiable I'm thinking about replacing my GPD Win 4 with a Framework 13 mainboard case and a bunch of peripherals: https://www.printables.com/model/1051364-framework-13-mainboard-case-with-battery

Ideally I'd need to remix this to add places for straps to attach.

Hopefully this meetup will accept my proposal for a WebCrypto talk some time this summer so I can show folks how fun it is.

I've been keeping a log of cool links I've found on the web: https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/links

Once I figure out my gemini hosting setup I'll have them up on there too 😸

I think it's cool that web browsers have built in APIs for doing #cryptography stuff without needing to worry about pulling in dependencies.

Question for #nostr folks. Do you pronounce it "no-ster" or "naw-ster"? Or some secret third thing. I've been reading this for years but haven't listened to anyone saying it outloud.

Incoming hot take: docker is convenient

It's like I always say: when life gives you late night heartburn, play goat simulator

Little mai from moomins is the original labubu

I need to learn to code in raw assembly so I can futs with dumped firmware more easily. 🥲
