Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

K, fuck it, gonna update my mastodon instance so I can get the fancy "follow tags" features on this thing. If you never hear from me again it's cause I messed something up. 🤪

Oh yeah! Any folks in #Ottawa / #Nepean interested in this stuff hit me up! I'm hoping to run it at the Centrepointe branch.

Also thinking of including signup links for some local #Fediverse instances to build up community.

Sent an email to the library coordinator about running a workshop.

Gonna focus on teaching folks how to use Devtools to mess with websites and create bookmarklets to persist changes.

I wish web browsers had kept built in user scripts as a feature so that everyone could edit their experiences more easily.

> I claim that many of these jailbreaks are best described as purposefully inducing the collapse of the superpositon into a waluigi simulacrum.

What times we live in, eh?

back on the worksite! gotta catch up with all my emails and get back into writing these codes. seems the keyboard I got to attach to my controller has a bug battery, but at least I have another one coming in the mail.

It'd be cool if #ActivityPub had a way to log in with your accpunt on another AP server. Like, if I wanted to check out kbin it'd be nice if I could reuse my mastodon account.

Neat! Gonna give it a shot now that it's charged. Hopefully I can actually code with this thing.

wow, I can't believe how big the increase in the quality of life from the setting up this controller with my deck has been so far.

I had a lot of trouble switching between portable and docked mode since I'd lose all the nice controller features they went to keyboard and mouse the. now I can comfortably sit with the controller in my lap and do most of my navigating from there.

way less painful on my fingers too

instead of purchasing new controller or keyboard or whatever I've opted to set up my the old playstation four controller and the bluetooth keyboard attachment for it. what's really cool is that #steam made it easy to get up and running with the touchpad acting as a mouse and the scroll wheel which makes navigating way easier. I also have the same key bindings as I do on my #SteamDeck itself so it's easier to switch between them.

But honestly I think what I really want is the keyboard bindings that Pop OS has for moving and resizing windows.

K, after using it for a while, the Rii i8+ bluetooth keyboard isn't enough for my needs. Specifically the trackpad is hard to use for moving windows around. They keyboard is decent but I think what I really want is the trackpad from my steam deck but with a keyboard :x

Looks like I might recover by So-called Canada Day. 🥳

Tried browsing "The Face Book" today. The sheer number of ads and irrelevant algo bullshit was not impressive.

Have some anti capitalist propaganda 💜
