Latest comic: Tech billionaires just want to save humanity!
Just looked at a house in a recently developed auburban zone. Absolute nightmare. All those trees torn down for rows and rows of identical gray houses with nothing to walk to but a copy psted childrens park with again zero trees. All with like 20 mins drive to anything with humanity.

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.

In addition to making blocklists available via API in @pixelfed later today, I'll be adding support to view instance blocklists in FediDB!
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. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2023/08/02/rokid-station-is-the-first-android-tv-box-for-ar-glasses-and-it-works/?sh=1894b1d05cde
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. 😭

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