At least I can afford to get food when I don't have time to cook. 🙏
How am I working myself to the point when I don't have time to meet all my needs but at the same time don't have enough money to afford an assistant or some sort of housekeeping. 😭

I'll be presenting a featured session at SXSW on "The Ultimate Potential of VR: Promises & Perils"
Date: TBA
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2023/events/PP1143186
A chance to reflect on some of the more exalted potentials from my episode #1000, but also the ethical & moral dilemmas of XR that I’ve been covering for 8+ years.

Who needs sex when you have peer to peer databases?
Ah you see, it's a `raw` block of data instead of a `file`. *That's* why it can't copy it. It's obviously to so meaningfully different that it should error out. Yup. Great. Gotta love computers. 🙃
When people hire me to do consulting for p2p, it's not because I'm particularly smart. The APIs are usually really hard to work with and I've just spent many hours at this point smashing my face on the keyboard trying to figure out why it's saying "example.txt is not a file" when it very clearly is.
Is anyone using their #SteamDeck as their main machine? I was thinking about it and I think it'd be useful to just have a doc for it and have it replace my Intel NUC.

I wish multi-window applications were a thing again, particularly with web apps. Instead of cramming all the UI on a single screen I'd love to have floating bits that I could dock among all my other windows.
See, I'd do the shitposting account if the Mastodon web UI made it less annoying to switch accounts. :P

Mysterious Antennas Are Appearing in Utah's Hills and Officials Are Stumped
City officials have found around a dozen of the antennas and no one is sure what they're for. A city official said that there were no identifying marks on the antenna and that they’d been bolted into the stone and required special tools to remove. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/epzwya/mysterious-antennas-are-appearing-in-utahs-hills-and-officials-are-stumped

My friend mentioned that the Gideon Fhe Ninth series is related to #Homestuck and now I can't unsee it.
I'm reading Harrow the Ninth and they're literally in a similar scenario as Homestuck with ghosts and drama

DRIVING A CAR

• bad for the environment
BURSTING INTO THOUSANDS OF BATS
• free & exciting
• environmentally friendly
• you will strike fear into the hearts of your enemies

Terrified in the back of my mind about how YouTube has become infrastructure.

A Scooby-Doo villain, but with the goal of dropping property values so that the poor can finally afford to buy homes. Not a show premise, this is a plan, I got monster costumes, let's do this
BTW, if anyone is looking for a #gig to get @agregore published across some of the major platforms, I'd love to chat.
Ideally you'll have published an Electron app to either Windows/Mac OS/Ubuntu/AUR.
Boosts appreciated.
The hardest problem in computer science is getting any of your dependencies to compile cross platform. The second hardest is app distribution across said platforms. 😜
