@aparrish maximum profit is a bad motivation but it's truly wild how many of the problems with our society are because we *specifically* chose to dictate everything by a motivation of "maximum profit on a window of exactly one-quarter year"
@jeffowski I use inappropriate contractions on the daily. ✨
Almost through practicing the alphabet on my #twiddler
Next will be typing actual words, and eventually all the special characters I need for coding.
@brandon do you have anything published for it? :o I've been curious to get into uiua. Is this project the one you were talking about at the splinternet event?
@brandon Nice! Yeah my previous chorded experience was the tap strap 2 and that was way too inconsistant to be usable. I'm still learning the basics so I'm not sure if I can code on this thing yet.
@makeworld Works for me now too
@makeworld All n/a it seems? At least on my end.
Canadians: if you are Having Opinions about the Air Canada flight attendant's strike, please note that Air Canada spent half a billion dollars on stock buybacks in 2024. In 2023, the CEO's pay increased 233% to $12.4M.
This should inform your opinions about flight attendants, whose work is necessary enough that they need to be legislated back to work and yet somehow not worth paying for.

@ohmrun Update from the annas archive folks: https://annas-archive.org/blog/an-update-from-the-team.html re #libgen
@ohmrun No, no, this was a huge help already! I'm thinking I might budget a mirror of some of the books to help spread the love a little. 😅
@reconbot I felt a little bad for the old people being fooled but TBH if they enjoyed it regardless it's probably fine. 🤷
@ohmrun Seems it needs logins which is a bit outside my comfort levels. 😅
@reconbot The only scam part is that they were faking that they were playing. 😅 e.g. they stopped "playing" the violin but it kept playing the sound over the speaker. Else it was just way too loud. I offered to pay them to turn the volume down a but but they just started hurling slurs at me. 🤷
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
