@Miaourt I started with Oryx and Crake and its sequels. Loved it. Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale. Both seem like glimpses into near futures which is kind of disheartening :P

@Miaourt Scifi, post apocalyptic stuff, some biopunk. I think her perspective that she brings to her characters is unlike a lot of authors I've read. I think she has an interesting view of human nature and motivation.

I think Margaret Atwood might be my favorite author right now? Greg Egan is a close second.

12. Alternately, a phone that has a built in projector and IR camera would be fancy :P If only I could run Linux on this thing.

NSFW tech ideas 

@mschfr Yeah I would not suggest people do that without consent of participants. IMO it would be easy to find willing testers in a local kink scene.

NSFW tech ideas 

buttplug.io should have a tool for controlling popular radio controlled vibrators. Imagine entering a scene and pushing the "max out everyones settings" button like one of those mass hacks in Cyberpunk 2077

"Maybe later" instead of "no" is one of the things that makes my blood boil about software companies. Spitting in the face of people's ability to consent should be outlawed and the C-suits responsible imprisoned.

I love deleting code that it turns out I didn't need to write in the first place 🥰

Tried out gemma3:4b with it's vision capabilities. It's way too stupid to generate large amounts of code but it's decent for small snippets to use as reference and the vision capability is decent at this size. Apparently it thinks I look youthful 🤪

Might set it as the default model for Agregore actually.

@coolandnormal My standard for consent is to pretend the thing I'm consenting to is being physically done by a person.

It'd be super weird if I bought a used car from some one and they asked me if they could follow me around.

It'd also be super weird for a stranger to ask to follow me around writing down the things I put into my cart at the grocery store.

If I called a taxi, it'd be super weird if the driver asked me if he could look through my phone contacts and copy them down.

Tried out the new runtime on Android. Sadly I'm running into issues getting their native modules to load. Apparently there was a fix a few weeks ago but maybe I'm still missing some sort of update in the stack. 🤷 Hopefully I can get it working and get into mobile before localfirstconf next month.

Lmao, made an example Agregore app cause I had some energy after work and it's giving me emotional responses to photos of my grimace minecraft card thing.

Slop dev with 4b models is a great form of torture. TT_TT

For real I'm ready to pay 3x more for products that aren't shrinkflated. Like , just make me pay 20 bucks for a full stick of deoderant and stop making me waste all this plastic.

@tychi It took me a decade to discover history autocomplete and bind it to something I actually use :P

Bash is probably my fave app but also I don't use 99% of its features.

People were asking how to use Ableton Live with a screen reader so last night I recorded this very impromptu little audio demo. I just make a little loop and try to explain what I'm doing as I go as best I can. I'm also still learning so I might be doing some things inefficiently. Hopefully this gives people a little inspiration. Sorry if my speech rate is too fast, this was a very spontaneous thing. I wasn't sure whether I should post it, but I figure anything is better than nothing.
