@glyph @eb I'm frustrated that big tech's efforts to increase core library security are "your project is too popular, you must use 2FA" and "the best reverse engineers in the world will find your bugs and put you on a 90 day disclosure deadline" and not "here is $100K/year and benefits to keep doing what you're doing at your own pace."

How to publish Godot games on Flathub, in a nutshell
What's the point of getting Youtube Premium when all the good youtube channels shove "sponsor messages" into their videos anyway.

The new #NintendoSwitch emulator, #Suyu, has had an eventful week being released, being taken down, and then making a return! Here is a quick recap if you missed the Suyu Saga:
Note to self: Don't answer messages when tired even if they seem time sensitive.

Imagine you’re writing a book and on page 345 you make a grammar error. The paragraph becomes completely ineligible, and the whole plotline you had going falls apart. Now the ink smears and whole pages turns black, and actually the book catches fire and you cannot touch it without it bursting into flames.
This is what programming is like.

If you give someone a program, you may frustrate them for a day.
If you teach someone how to program, you can frustrate them for a lifetime.
The only downside is that others seem to enjoy using their computers for work on weekends and I end up missing emails sent after my work hours 💀
I really need to learn some verilog and some fortran
Mobile apps made computing worse because they renoved the "undo my press of the back button" button. Wish I could do that for instagram 😭
I am very strict about not using computers for work on weekends cause otherwise they would eat evrry last moment of relaxation from me.
Yapping about tech
I really dislike apps because they're so segregated compared to cli programs. When you use an app it pretends it's the only thing that exists and there's usually no way to change it that isn't a pain in the ass. Once you can do some tricks in bash yiu basically get master over the cli apps and can stay closer to organizing data how you like it. GUIs with shared fs access are nice but it's not the norm and getting alternative apps for the same function is more of a pita

Remember: If you can't just draw a line on your screen it's not a "personal" computer *at all*.

People get wrapped up over the silliest things and call it “opsec” but here’s an actual opsec tip a lot of people slip up on
are you covering a mailing address on an envelope for a photo? are there any barcodes of any kind anywhere on the envelope? (hint: yes, there are.) QR codes are a barcode. faint small tick marks are a barcode. fluorescent tick marks that seem invisible in the photo are a bar code. and the bar code IS the destination.
Glad to be at the end of this big push so that I can work less nights and cook more dinners 🥰
I post like the small bits of story exposition you find in some scifi game
I wish the Ontario government covered "extra arms" as gender affirming healthcare for transhumanists.
I really want one of these backpack thingies hooked up to a BCI or a touchpad on my toe or whatever.
It's like using Windows but worse because I can't just sidestep into bash. Also code editing is one of my main uses of computers so it's extra annoying when my flow is interrupted.
