See, in winter we should be hibernating or eating preserves. But in summer we should be lounging in the shade of a fruit tree of some sort. Instead we are forced to participate in capitalism 🤪

Thankful to the chromium team for making it possible to customize and compile such a complex piece of software for free. Like, Google is evil and all that but I feel like things could be worse.

> The Demo Gods didn't smile upon me today, but that's okay - we don't need their smiles.

Maaan I knew what's up. I still do demos that occasionally mess up and I doubt I'll stop.

Wealth for businesses doesn’t come from customers anymore; it comes from investors. That’s what extreme wealth inequality does. And risk-tolerant investors are all vibes. So basically a business owner’s ability to get rich depends entirely on just how much bullshit they can get a few billionaires to believe.

Made a "timeline" of the past ~6 years of me doing p2p web stuff and it's been nice to get a perspective on what the heck I've been doing all this time and to remind myself why I do what I do.

@light I definitely still live in one. :P Neon lights didn't take off but shitty dollar store LEDs do the trick.

@brandon Shit honestly I haven't played DOOM for at least 5 years. Might be a sign to give it a go

When I was a kid in the 90s I somehow learned that someone managed to get DOOM running on a head mounted display. Got infatuated with the idea for ages. Now it's just my life. 🤷

Teenage me would shit it's pants (from joy) at what I've become

Just imagine me in the dark with RGB lighting and this playing from my face. Occasionally swearing because some node dependency is broken deep in the tree.

Having to fuck around with the terminal to get my DPI setting right every time also adds to the aesthetic.

Programming peer to peer software on my head mounted display and my weird game console looking computer feels as heck. The woosh of the lens distortion locking into my vision as I put the glasses on is just like in the movies.

@light I'd describe it as less of a hate and more like the "urge to devour" from Beaststars :P

Like a mix of lust and hunger. But for a tomato.

Y'all ever get bloodlust for a salad? Like ripping into the throat of some tabouli?

Men will literally build Kubernetes Cluster cluster at home instead of going to therapy ....

@rose_alibi Yeah! The role of "seamstress" seems like it could be more valuable in a world where other things are more easily automated. I've been doing more repair to my fave garments lately and they're turning into a mass of patches :P

@rose_alibi Yeah I wonder if the tarrifs and hits to efficient global (exploitation) production will lead to a larger focus on mendable clothes for americans. It's hard to talk about consumerism sometimes because a lot of people are drowning in it without even seeing it IMO.
