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. 😅

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."

The Ware Tetrology by Rudy Rucker is quite a trip.

@ai6yr "The major cost of most corporations is labor."

*HARD* disagree.

The cost that they perceive as "disposable" is labor. The highest actual cost, by far, is the people at the top, most of whom do practically nothing (or even make willfully bad decisions like integrating fake "AI" into systems that shouldn't be using a LLM and will ultimately present a huge loss later) while being paid many many millions...

And those are the positions most disposable and that a LLM could fake best...

Holy shit I think I got everything working after this last PR gets merged in a dependency? I've been working on this on and off since mid last year 😵

This workaround I'm doing feels kinda violant but the alternative will need a huge rafactor for how we calculate sync state and might not be backwards comparible 🥲

My spelling and grammar might be shit but at least I'm not spewing paragraphs of nothingness from the ocean boiling slop dispenser.

It's hard to be positive about slop-native corpos sometimes. Just send me your prompts and context instead of the "It's — not X, — — it's Y —" slop please.

I miss being able to use unsigned ints without resorting to dark incantations.

I'm like *thiiiiis* close to figuring out why these tests are failing. 🥲 Something to do with range and bitfield events not being registered

Computer programming is about reading through 20k lines of diff to figure out WTF broke in your dependencies and how to work around it. ☝️🤓👍

I opened a technical blog post and left the tab to read later, only to discover it was choking the browser to death with a sudoku-solving neural network embedded as a proof of concept ballooning to 5GB

One of my cats has taken to hanging out in my office more while I work and it's only a little bit distracting.

Do you have a site that is abandoned or difficult to maintain? 🏚

@sutty can help you recover it and turn it into a preserved site, without exposed databases and panels, greatly reducing the risk of attacks and maintenance work. ❇️

Most importantly, thanks to the integrated @distributedpress support, the renovated website can be automatically published on the Decentralized Web!
