What's the point of getting Youtube Premium when all the good youtube channels shove "sponsor messages" into their videos anyway.
@nilix Ty! Yeah I hope to use the underlying library for some sort of open source ActivityPub or Semantic Web exploring thing in the future
@nilix it's a synthetic dataset showing links between data. so nothing real but showing that the format we're using works how we expect. Sadly beyond that it's NDA stuff I can't post about. 😅
@brandon That's great! Is there code published for it which I may read? I do a lot of cross platform stuff and that's something I've wanted for a while. I assume graphics isn't within the set of APIs?
@brandon Oof yeah. I think that's the main thing that keeps me from fun languages. The availability of libraries and APIs ends up influencing whether a project is feasible to undertake within budget constraints or not. :( I end up having to sidecar stuff into separate processes and talk via IPC when there's a mismatch in languages. E.g. Agregore Mobile has Go,C++, and Java all jumbled together.

The new #NintendoSwitch emulator, #Suyu, has had an eventful week being released, being taken down, and then making a return! Here is a quick recap if you missed the Suyu Saga:
Note to self: Don't answer messages when tired even if they seem time sensitive.
@brandon What sort of stuff are you thinking of using it for? I was worried about whether it's speed of execution can keep up with how expressive it is. It feels like it'd be way to easy to make really expensive computations and I'm not sure if it is paralellizing enough of the execution out of the box. Would regular APL not suffice?

Imagine you’re writing a book and on page 345 you make a grammar error. The paragraph becomes completely ineligible, and the whole plotline you had going falls apart. Now the ink smears and whole pages turns black, and actually the book catches fire and you cannot touch it without it bursting into flames.
This is what programming is like.

"The Right to Repair movement seeks to make the repair of tech devices more accessible, affordable, and mainstream. Existing structures supported by the technology industry are often unsustainable in that they promote the purchase of new devices and disincentive their repair. This puts up barriers to the creation of a circular economy, which would help to reduce the enormous mass of e-waste disposed of every year."

If you give someone a program, you may frustrate them for a day.
If you teach someone how to program, you can frustrate them for a lifetime.
The only downside is that others seem to enjoy using their computers for work on weekends and I end up missing emails sent after my work hours 💀
I really need to learn some verilog and some fortran
Mobile apps made computing worse because they renoved the "undo my press of the back button" button. Wish I could do that for instagram 😭
@arichtman It's a lil gift I'm giving to future me so it doesn't burn out as fast :P
I am very strict about not using computers for work on weekends cause otherwise they would eat evrry last moment of relaxation from me.
Yapping about tech
I really dislike apps because they're so segregated compared to cli programs. When you use an app it pretends it's the only thing that exists and there's usually no way to change it that isn't a pain in the ass. Once you can do some tricks in bash yiu basically get master over the cli apps and can stay closer to organizing data how you like it. GUIs with shared fs access are nice but it's not the norm and getting alternative apps for the same function is more of a pita
