My roman empire is thinking about all the cool AR stuff I have no time to work on

two of the best feelings when programming are:
1. figuring out a really clever way to solve a problem
2. figuring out a really stupid way to solve a problem

i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.
it's a real oddity and a real beauty
Fortnite is like Garry's Mod if it looked good and had a default set of game modes that were well made
I get I'm a weirdo but it still boggles my mind how much RAM vs code gobbles during normal operation. Especially when you have a "language server" running. This rust one is taking like 2.5 GB for a ~200 line file.
Every time I see my system chug to a halt when I add a new token to the tree for it to analyze I keep wanting to go back to nano. 😿
Say what you will about Node.js but having async streams be a standard part of any io APIs makes it pretty easy to mess with different data sources and sinks. I'm trying to do something similar in Rust and it appears there's a billion ways to do io.

Why not here?
“WaterBottle, a worker-owned cooperative, is one such example. It includes a property management division and construction service under its umbrella and spreads control of the operation among its employees, with no formal hierarchy and a one-person, one-vote system of governance. It owns 22 properties in West Baltimore, where it’s restoring dilapidated buildings and renting them out with first dibs offered to the workers.”

Being nonbinary is just using custom settings instead of presets but for gender
The complaints about Linux needing way too much command line tinkering are valid.
Luckily for me I like tinkering in the command so much I use my "file browser" like twice a month at this point and do the rest with bash.
Just finished playing Stray. Ending made me cry NGL
Ordered a glasses mounted camera to feed to my local AI when I'm on the go
My hot take is that implementing ActivtyPub and getting it to talk to different implementations is not all that hard. I have had to do stuff that turns my brain inside out and "Oh what json properties do I need in this HTTP API with lots of examples in existing implementations" is a cakewalk. It just takes some time and tinkering.

my boomer take is that cars shouldn't have phone screens in them

Excited for 100 years from now when people start saying "Can Your Hear Me?" instead of "Hello"
This post by @maggie has some great ideas on how #LLM tech can help enable #LocalFirst applications for regular folks. I've been wanting to do something similar within @agregore some day with local LLMs helping people author p2p web apps.
They should make a Warrior Cats series in the style of Cats 2019.
