Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"
As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam )
Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

It's always "School doesn't prepare us for Life well enough, we should be learning to do taxes instead of interpreting poetry" and never "Adult Life should be more poetry and less absurd and complicated tax rules"
How many engineers does it take to support EventEmitter in TypeScript out of the box? Trick question! Over a decade and millions of dollars is not enough to have support for the most common class in Node.js 🫠
It's not sleep deprivation, I'm just a "morning person" now.
Thought terminating phrase? I think you mean a "counterspell". 🌟

i saw this cursed monstrosity and now you get to too
fizzbuzz in 3 lines of code
li:is(:nth-child(3n), :nth-child(5n)) { list-style: none } li:nth-child(3n)::before { content: "Fizz" } li:nth-child(5n)::after { content: "Buzz" }

Ran into a problem in prod?
Just generate a fake cloudflare error page and blame it on them - gives you time to fix.
@alberto also soon to be facebook :P
Evil idea: "Echo Chamber"
Mastodon instance that has a single human user and a bunch of LLMs that pretend to be their friends and form a parasocial social network. Orchestrator thinks of account "gimmicks" and configures posting frequency / response frequency.
Neat article looking at Post Quantum #Cryptography
Had to do a total rewrite of this MVP service, but it's fun because we no longer need "accounts" and auth is now done through cryptographic secrets.
@thief_of_fire I've had similar thoughts about discord-like interfaces

This Wednesday is the Folk Tech Connection Call:
> Folk Tech is a movement among people who want to develop apps for their community without depending on big tech companies and a community of developers making decentralized, p2p, open source, open standard-based tech

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?
@ellyxir Yeah I'm not 100% sure but at the very least I'm remembering more of the weird ones. Mine have also been pretty surreal historically. One fun thing is I'm actually playing the role of "myself" in the dreams more often.
The global town square means hearing lots of random yelling, I prefer small burrows you dig down into to find some creatures rambling about their niche interests,
Yeah the magnesium supplements are defs making my dreams weirder. OR at least I'm remembering more of the weird dreams.

This is not limited to devs, either; infosec has the same issue - and has had, for years.
This shit is why I keep pushing for unionization; management is fundamentally incapable of understanding this systemic issue.
Something in the MBA mindset removes the ability to comprehend systemic workforce logistics; they end up assuming "someone else" will do the training.
That's gone now.
Your company will need to learn to invest in juniors to teach them how to be seniors, or you will not have any more seniors, period.
@vincentpants FWIW you can use the twiddler wired too :P
What were your vim issues? I'm finding decent success building my sortcut muscle memory so far
@il_Lost_ Right, I was gonna look at the family plans for that.
