Everywhere I look there's just islands of grey sameness infected with franchises owned by a few duopolies siphoning the life out of residents after destroying the life that was once thriving on the land.

Just looked at a house in a recently developed auburban zone. Absolute nightmare. All those trees torn down for rows and rows of identical gray houses with nothing to walk to but a copy psted childrens park with again zero trees. All with like 20 mins drive to anything with humanity.

So many developers have just resigned to thinking that Cloud costs are just the costs of building software. They say, we’ll deal with the bill when we get it. It’s not my VC money — it’s not my problem.

@ryanramage RII Mini i8+ I love it and only thing I'd change is having a physical scroll wheel since the trackpad scroll can be a bit janky.

@tychi Yup! Agregore's minimal UI and default small window size works for my use case of arranging a bunch of windows accross my monitor.

Seems the ps4 touchpad randomly stopped working after the latest SteamOS update :P Might need to just reboot tho.

Approaching a couple months of using a PS4 controller + a mini bluetoooth keyboard as my primary input devices and I gotta say, browsing graphically has been way nicer than keyboard+mouse.

Typing I'm still building the muscle memory for, but it's defs way faster than speech to text or an on screen keyboard. Though my right thumb seems to be taking the brunt of all the repetitive strain so I might need to switch keyboard layouts to make lefty do more work. Maybe also use the left stick for mouse

@johnefrancis Dang, sign me up for the quarter beef 😂 Post tornado BBQ?

@jonny They're like GOTO statements but with a lookup table but dressed in extra syntax to make it even harder to read. :P

house hunting woes 

Was told not to disclose I had pet snakes on the rental because I probably wouldn't be accepted because of it.

Hate how landlords can leech of my work and then discriminate against me over random shit.

I love putting a bunch of classes into a single file if they're related to each other and only splitting it when they get too big to jump comfortably.

NEW: Researchers used a hardware-based attack to jailbreak Tesla's infotainment system, which gave them the ability to get upgrades that would cost $$$ for free.

Wish I had the equivalent of fediblocking on stuff like tiktok 😬

App developers, I am BEGGING you to provide web versions and not force us to do our work on tiny screens and thumb-type everything. This goes triple for apps that are restricted to just one of the two major corporate mobile platforms.

For many if not most, this should be readily possible, given how many apps are websites with app wrappers.

I gladly pay for or donate to software that helps me...

@yosh I wonder if it'll be useful for reducing how much lithium will need to be extracted from mines on indigenous land at least.
