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. 😅

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"

Humans are actually pretty big if you think from the perspective of God's chosen creatures: beetles.

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?

My one handed keyboard is stuck in caps lock mode even though I literally removed that key from the layout 😵

22. Now that I have my setup with tge Khadas Edge 2, I kinda want to get a small screen for it for the times that I don't want to wear a screen on my face. Apparently the touch screen works on Linux?

On the Apollo missions the computers were very complex but limited. The onboard memory, rope core memory, had to be cleared manually from the last preserved bytes (b-last). This was referred to as " blasting ropes"

Anyone else immediately turned off when a project uses linkedin style biz-speak? "$Project_Name turns context into execution." just makes me want to run away as fast as I can.

What if ActivityPub software came with a special (@)moderators account that could support instance to instance moderation conversations, as well as a public inbox that anyone could message with reports or related activity.

It would even come with a gorgeous admin dashboard to track reports and conversations with custom labels for organization and webhooks for 3rd party integrations (like getting notified on slack or discord)

seriously like all the malware google claims to be stopping with the app verification thing is actually on the google play store. i don't think i've ever seen malware on f-droid, but you can simply go to google play and search "flashlight" to find tons and tons of malware

Switch your keyboard layout to something like azerty to make your key smashes less predictable

I think someone at Apple deliberately released this exploit because no one wants to update to “liquid glass” 😤

I saw a post recently wherein someone used LLM tools to analyze someone else’s software, which eventually led them to a conclusion that was essentially completely wrong. Not only that, the LLM drew conclusions about the *authors* behind the code that were borderline character assassination. Nevertheless, this person posted this output as though it were some kind of deep insight.

These LLM outputs are not independent thoughts. The LLM probably ingested hints of (maybe unconscious) biases in the user’s prompts within its context window, and regurgitated something that confirmed those biases. The user was pleased that their biases were confirmed (Independently! By an impartial LLM!), and they posted the output, maybe as vindication of their insight.

These models’ sycophancy can be subtle. They don’t have to state “You’re absolutely right!” to blow smoke up your ass. Sometimes they seem to confirm your preconceived notion after they supposedly “evaluate” information “independently”.

Sometimes I browse my global list of matrix channels instead of the heavily curated spaces / subspaces. And it's like "wtf is some of this shit". Channels I may have never fully read, full of god knows what. It's fun~
