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. 😅

functional blindness is weird 

functional blindness is so weird as a concept. like, my left eye can see! it’s busted as fuck, don’t get me wrong, it’s about as farsighted as it’s possible to be, but it does have some shitty vision! signals are actually reaching the visual cortex!!

but my brain was like “nah pal it’s shite, we’re just going to use your right eye and turn that left one off! unless you close your right eye, I guess, but that is going to HURT for more than a few seconds and also we will try to use your closed right eye anyway so the back of your right eyelid will be superimposed on everything”

and then I put on a VR headset and my brain goes “oh fuck this visual input doesn’t make sense unless we use the left eye signals too, uh… okay cool I guess we turn it back on so we can play Beat Saber”

and THEN, off comes the headset and the brain is like “oh hey! actually there’s some useful input coming in from the left here! keep it going I guess!”

and I was sitting there in my parents’ dining room poking a chair and crying because I COULD SEE DEPTH for the first time in my life

The Witchy Bitches

Today's frustration… I really wish people who are raising and training service dogs from puppyhood really understood that the more work they do with the dog when it is young, the less they will have to do with it when it is older in most cases. But there's always an excuse for why they are allowing behaviors like walking with a tight leash, not stopping at changes in elevation, etc. You are only hurting yourself in the end and making more work. Both of the dogs I raised from puppyhood were walking on a loose leash and stopping at all changes in elevation by the time they were six or seven months old. This made it much easier when it came time to teach the actual concepts of guide work and obstacle avoidance. Same with naming of objects. If you start when they are young and you consistently ask for behaviors, you are going to be much better off and far less frustrated. Also, it is far easier to reinforce these things with a 20 pound puppy than a 90 pound dog.

I'd like to request a favor from #MastodonCanada. Please share and boost our recent announcement of our Proselytizing for Plushtodons campaign and contest. Yes, it's a tongue twister but hopefully memorable. Help us build a community that can have an impact on #SocialMedia and #DigitalSovereignty in Canada.
Everyday this week we will add encouragement and info in an effort to build momentum. But we need more Canadians to join our campaign.

Just remembered the shoehorned cop main character in the Sonic The Hedgehog movies and I'm riled up like a little dog that heard something walking near their territory.

Wish they had a sequel to the Kaossilator 2s that had multiple loop banks. :x Or just the Kaossilator pro but battery powered.

On one hand I'm a bit sad both my social plans cancelled on me today. On the other hand I get to do some gaming with my nesting partners instead

🚨 Emergency DevSec Station Drop

There's an active npm supply chain attack happening right now. Compromised packages are stealing SSH keys, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens, browser passwords, and crypto wallets on install. Then using your publish token to infect every package you maintain.

One command can protect you immediately: npm config set ignore-scripts true

Fun bug with "default parameters".

`null` values are considered "defined" so they won't be replaced with defaults unlike values set to `undefined`.

```
function example({something='default'}) { return something }

example({}) === 'default'
example({something: undefined}) === 'default'
example({something: null}) === null
```

Someone should do a performance art piece where they have an LLM remote control them to follow its own goals for a week.
