Bro what if instead of apis and apps we just had straight up database access. Like, I don't wanna deal with all the misdirection, just gimmi them tables.

As a very "not normal" person that exists around kind people it gives me major whiplash when I realize that that experience is more of an outlier in most social contexts.

I get frustrated when folks get angry at others for being "not normal". I think "normal" people often assume that "not normal" people are attacking them or trying to invalidate them by being counter to their culture. The reality is the "not normal" person is just trying to exist with what is normal to them. I wish folks allowed more space for others to live their own reality.

Re-watching this "Lets read". This was so influential on me as a teen and contributed to me getting into computers. It's fun watching as an adult.

Doomscrolling ai whitepapers and brushing up on UIUA because tiktok and social media is too stressful.

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical, e-book or audiobook - that you have read within the past 3 days.)

Give this a boost, if you don't mind. It'd be nice to have lots of respondents.

Whoopsee. I see the warning signs of burnout. Time to drastically scale back resource expendature. Lets hope this one is straightforwars to ride out. 😝🤟

Debugging live systems can be such a pain sometimes. Currently getting spammed by "Delete" events for random users whose public key can no longer be resolved via http signatures.

Excuse me but… why the chicken fried fuck can you stuff arbitrary WASM in a font?

High key enjoy making computers do neat things. Symbol manipulation and seeing its output is fun.

It's reasonably easy in most image editing software (lightroom, capture one, etc) to embed all sorts of EXIF metadata in an image. (Eg, photographer name, copyright, etc).

It would be great if there were a standard set of attribute tags for embedding Alt (and Title) text that gets automatically interpreted by services (like Mastodon) you upload to, so you don't have to type captions and descriptions every time. It would be so much easier to have this just live in the image files themselves.

No Windows, I really don't want to open id_ed25519.pub in Microsoft Publisher, FFS.
