@hazematman yeahhh. Just saw that too. Been upping my deey dose for walks. 🥲

I really appreciate places where it's just some single user rooms so people don't need to pick a gender before going in. The extra privacy is nice too.

It'd be nice if there were more gender neutral washrooms.

I have over a dozen mosquito bites that are super irritated AMA

Chinese delivery man exosuits give me gender envy.

My controller locking up when the game saves feels exactly like the phantom movement when I can't move my limbs during sleep paralysis

@deersyrup Nothing as exciting as maxed out compute tbh. Compiling large C++ projects to the point that everything is pegged to 100% usage and my DE is frozen is a rush.

RE: social.coop/@afewbugs/11700329

One of the conclusions I’ve come to from my years of software freelancing is that humans hate tradeoffs.

I don’t just mean that we hate deciding between options when none is clearly the best. I mean that people hate admitting that tradeoffs •exist•. We desperately want there to be a best option, a correct answer, a clear choice that will satisfy our egocentric need to believe we are objectively In The Right. 🧵

Main reason I'm going this route is that the sherpa-onnx library is supposed to be able to use my Rockchip NPU on my machine to speed things up.

I think I've gotten to the point where the default voices in espeak-ng aren't cutting it anymore. Gonna try cloning my own voice to speak back to me via sherpa-onnx and pocket TTS.

Cool side effect of running a battery powered cyberdeck is I can give a number for how much percentage bits of work take. e.g. compiling a big ish C++ project took like 20% of my battery

I enthusiastically support this company that claims to be making a real life version of the monster that chases you around the level in any of those janky-ass Playstation 1 lookin' indie horror games.

@johnefrancis Sucks that LLMs are making publishers to screw screen reader users over even harder.

Thankful to live in a city with a thriving music scene. We're not fancy, but it's plentiful.

Today is a whatever this genre is sort of day.

I love Ottawa and all that but somehow it's always cloudy whenever there's some sort of sky phenomena. Kinda miffed I missed out on meteor shower viewing last night.

Polyamory humor 

Gonna start calling monogamous people singlephiles as a slur. 🤪

Snap! Just learned about this new feature called `using` that lets you dispose of resources after you exit a block. Good alternative for needing a `try - finally` expression. Feels like Python in a good way.

@tychi Lately I'm only using this console based reader called TDSR so I've focused on reducing unnecessary output from commands. For graphical stuff I use Orca but I've considered making my own.
