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'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.

I "love" how we need to keep on studying things that are flat out good for society while bad things just get rolled out without the same onus of proof.
Things that need to be proven over and over and over:
- Universal Basic Income
- Walkable cities prioritising pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit
- Low speed limits for cars
- No-strings housing for homeless
- High taxes for the rich
And the list goes on and on... why do we make it so hard to improve our society while making it so easy to ruin it?
Skreech. Gonna figure out why this random Android device's TCP stack is so janky.
The code you don't need to run, but also the data you don't need to send TBH
13. Instead of a LilyGo T-Deck I might have luck getting this "Smart watch" form factor that comes with LoRa built in to see if I can do some #meshtastic tinkering.

Being able to reproduce a bug is like 99% of the effort. Once I can reproduce a bug I usually have it fixed in no time.

its been a while since we stole the rainbow.
i am proud to announce that today, we will begin work on stealing the infrared spectrum. but we wont stop there. we are also currently in the early stages of planning out how to steal the strategically critical radio and microwave spectrum too. our end goal is the complete gayification of the entire electromagnetic spectrum

Uhm, a new ChatGPT version just dropped and GeoGuesser is now a solved problem.
PSA: When posting any outdoors photos, update your threat model from "someone skilled and dedicated could theoretically locate this" to "any stalker can do this for 20€/mo"

They're also enjoying learning Git (via github) by the look of it. Hopefully the version control stuff can bleed into their other projects.
My partner is not very techy but they're learning Markdown for a thing and seem to be having fun.
I think Margaret Atwood might be my favorite author right now? Greg Egan is a close second.
12. Alternately, a phone that has a built in projector and IR camera would be fancy :P If only I could run Linux on this thing.
NSFW tech ideas
buttplug.io should have a #flipperzero tool for controlling popular radio controlled vibrators. Imagine entering a scene and pushing the "max out everyones settings" button like one of those mass hacks in Cyberpunk 2077
"Maybe later" instead of "no" is one of the things that makes my blood boil about software companies. Spitting in the face of people's ability to consent should be outlawed and the C-suits responsible imprisoned.
#programming #protip : The fastest function is the one you don't call
I love deleting code that it turns out I didn't need to write in the first place 🥰
Part of the LGTM mafia
Tried out gemma3:4b with it's vision capabilities. It's way too stupid to generate large amounts of code but it's decent for small snippets to use as reference and the vision capability is decent at this size. Apparently it thinks I look youthful 🤪
Might set it as the default model for Agregore actually.

@coolandnormal My standard for consent is to pretend the thing I'm consenting to is being physically done by a person.
It'd be super weird if I bought a used car from some one and they asked me if they could follow me around.
It'd also be super weird for a stranger to ask to follow me around writing down the things I put into my cart at the grocery store.
If I called a taxi, it'd be super weird if the driver asked me if he could look through my phone contacts and copy them down.
