@am@decept.org Maybe a little, but mostly a friend of mine linked me to an open source project and I felt a bit jealous of how useful and cool it is. I'm just gonna use this feeling to keep pushing to make things for people to use.

This was the tool: github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturiz

Jeeze. Hopefully I can yield some open source thing that's actually useful to people. 😭

@makeworld Oh yeah! Before I went to nano I used micro all the time. Absolutely love it.

I think I switched because adding my nanorc on a new machine or VM I was ssh'd into was easier than getting micro installed.

Or worst case at least nano would tell me how to quit if I forgot. 😜

So far this rollator is looking like what I'd want. Might see if I can find one in meatspace to try out first. lucasmobility.com/en/lucas-rol

@ninabreznik I think the sitting part is particularly important to me. Especially if I'm out somewhere like a conference or something where I might be in crowds. I'll defs look into hiking sticks though.

Also for context, I'd need to be able to get it shipped to Canada if it's not already something I can just buy in a store.

Not sure if this will reach the right audience, but do folks have recommendations for walkers? I've been thinking of getting one so I could have something to lean on and sit down when I'm out and about.

Preferably with a seat and collapsable.

Boosts and links would be appreciated. 🙇

@makeworld Best life improvement I had with CLI editing was to set up nano to use the same bindings as every graphical editor so that I wouldn't need to think too hard about it. :P

crows call me breadlady

today i'm imagining a pictographic programming language not rooted in any spoken human language, so that a programmer need not know english to write software, and so programs could be reduced to language-independent patterns rather than language-specific stylistic choices.

If the battery life of steam decks was better I think I'd seriously consider switching to one. :x

Can’t we all just get along?

No, not when your fucking white privilege has you proudly proclaiming “I don’t care” about social injustice just because it doesn’t affect you and attempting to shame those who do by accusing them of perpetuating “outrage culture.”

If this is you, fuck you.

You’re the problem.

And if you’re going to defend that or tone police me for calling it out or warning people from that person’s instance, just fuck off right now and save me the trouble of blocking you.

Been watching tiktoks by a partially blind guy that does training for blind and low vision folks on how to use their canes.

It was cool because as a seeing person I saw the person demonstrating what they did with the cane, and then tried to experience it with audio only.

I kinda want to do this more to get better at describing things without using visuals.

@unmellow Yeah, personally I always used the mobile web version of Twitter so migrating to Tusky was nice since it's got even less BS to deal with.

Mastodon web made smaller so it's about the same experience.

I can imagine the frustration in not having whatever workflow folks are used to.

Honestly been meaning to make my own client to match my flow.

@heapwolf Yeah kinda what I've been thinking lately. Like, photoshop used to be a lump sum you paid and it was way less shitty than the current subscription based thing.

@heapwolf software also blurs the lines due to post scarcity of distribution. If I buy a carpet from an artesan they n
lose it and now I have it.

Once code is written it can be created infinitely with zero extra cost. But the coder spent time on it. And they need more to make new and better versions possible. But then the cobsumer feels like its being gate kept and rent seeked. SaaS is the worst of it tho

It feels weird to me that the state of tech means having a billion apps for chat and no unified system for consuming those chats.

Like, why is it I need to jump through hoops to get my signal and telegram channels in one place.

Modern tech really can't compare to scifi in terms of being useful and cool.

The local-only web.

With the File System API there's an interesting area of the web (kinda pioneered by TiddyWiki and put into practice by logseq) of having web apps store their data outside of their normal sandbox and not synced to the cloud.
