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.

What I really want is just `nano` but with the "go to start of word left/right" feature be "go to next word boundry left/right" and the copy/paste buffer to use my system clipboard. 😅 Sadly the code seems like too much effort for me to tinker with any time soon.

Editors like micro end up doing too much in that they take over the color scheme and have these elaborate extension systems.

Anyone know if there's an LSP (language server protocol) client out there that's just a standalone TUI? It'd be nice to explore types without needing to commit to an entire IDE + text editor.

Well shit. I think I will need to remake Agregore mobile from pretty much scratch 😅 The dependency I want to add requires a much newer version of the Android SDK than this tree year checkout of chromium can handle. RIP 😅

Great news, I got an inscrutable error coming out of the millions of lines of code and build configurations 💀 #chromium is quite a beast.

I screwed up the JNI code somehow so at least I have a clue for where to look.

Well. Time to have chromium compile for 9 hours and see if I have build errors in the morning 🤷 Or if my computer decides to randomly crash at some point during the process.

Whoever is in charge of Google's UX standards should feel ashamed of themselves for how they constantly spit in the face of user choice ans consent. Truly a disgusting soul to perpetuate this shit.

I wanna see the "infrequently asked questions" that have high impact.

I have no chill but I must sleep. 💀

Attempt number 1 of auto-converting my markdown based website to #gemini

Currently only available via HTTPs and various #p2p protocols but eventually I'll add a proper gemini server to my main distributed press instance for it. 🤪 Might end up coding one since it's easier than searching through all the options for something that will fit my needs.

@makeworld Is this md2gemini lib archived cause you don't want to update it or was it not working like you'd hoped? :o

Thinking of crossposting my blog to gemini.

It'd be nice if GitHub had a non-JS web interface with just static rendering and minimal CSS.

For real I think my ratio of "need to read source" to "docs tell me what I needed" is like 10 to 1.

Then again a lot of the stuff I need to do / work with is pretty obscure.

Maybe the *real* documentation is the code we wrote along the way 🥰

The hard part of this is going to be figuring out how the heck Chromiums google build tools handle extracting assets from AARs and adding them to the build config 😱
