So many developers have just resigned to thinking that Cloud costs are just the costs of building software. They say, we’ll deal with the bill when we get it. It’s not my VC money — it’s not my problem.

Approaching a couple months of using a PS4 controller + a mini bluetoooth keyboard as my primary input devices and I gotta say, browsing graphically has been way nicer than keyboard+mouse.

Typing I'm still building the muscle memory for, but it's defs way faster than speech to text or an on screen keyboard. Though my right thumb seems to be taking the brunt of all the repetitive strain so I might need to switch keyboard layouts to make lefty do more work. Maybe also use the left stick for mouse

house hunting woes 

Was told not to disclose I had pet snakes on the rental because I probably wouldn't be accepted because of it.

Hate how landlords can leech of my work and then discriminate against me over random shit.

I love putting a bunch of classes into a single file if they're related to each other and only splitting it when they get too big to jump comfortably.

NEW: Researchers used a hardware-based attack to jailbreak Tesla's infotainment system, which gave them the ability to get upgrades that would cost $$$ for free.

App developers, I am BEGGING you to provide web versions and not force us to do our work on tiny screens and thumb-type everything. This goes triple for apps that are restricted to just one of the two major corporate mobile platforms.

For many if not most, this should be readily possible, given how many apps are websites with app wrappers.

I gladly pay for or donate to software that helps me...

EE I love open source software! It's so nice to make stuff for people to use for free and get to use free stuff. It'd be nice if we didn't still need to work to live, but at least it's possible to do smaller scale stuff in spare time.

a lot of bosses like to cultivate this "I'm doing you a favor" atmosphere, and it works extra well on people who feel like they have a barrier to employment like a criminal record, a drug problem, being fired, etc.

And it's bullshit. You're doing *them* a favor, always.

4. Since I'm really liking my Rokid Max, I might get their Rokid Station device which they're marketing as an Android TV for AR headsets. I could probably get termux on this thing at least. forbes.com/sites/bensin/2023/0

teeth, cavities 

Day one of not starting my day with cola pop or energy drinks since a big hunk of my tooth fell off and I don't want to make it worse.

I am absolutely dependent on the caffeine and sugar in these things. 😭

Writing up database wrappers for storing ActivityPub data.

Been really into this artist lately:

No sure what to call this genre but it's pretty funky and makes me want to play Broken Reality.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect *them*.

It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.

Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.

And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.
