I just realized what I hate about modern chat: it's not a small window on the screen anymore, it's *the whole screen*.
Discord (et al) is barely usable in a small window, whereas AOL Instant Messenger was *very* usable in a small window as you went about your browsing.
For me, smaller window = fewer distractions.
They also frame it as the plot of The Matrix which is hilarious to me.
God I love The Matrix 😭💜
S15E08 of south park is so good. (spoilers) there's a bit where Stan gets "diagnosed" as aspergers and they show how to world sees them but then they show what it's actually like to be one. As an autistic person it hits home.
Imagine if physical goods sellers made EULAs like software companies. "Oh you bought a can of pepsi? Yeah we can steal your organs now and you've revoked your personhood"
For real if TVs could apply ai powered video filters to whatever is being displayed I'd jump on that shit instantly. I want to watch garfield with the filter that gives everyone a chiseled jawline
7. A head mounted display with an Android TV box you can wear as a neckband. It can do everything my rokid max can and more. I could install termux to do dev on it or RDP into other boxes.

When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:
- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device
So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.
Love it when the issue only needs two lines of code to fix :P

Absolutely amazing piece by Koka Nikoladze.

Tiktok seems to be trying to psyop me into drinking alcohol again 🤪 Luckily my PDA kicks in and makes me double down on sobriety. Don't tell me what to do, App!
It's kinda scary how much those creepy AI generated videos behave like my dreams.
Taking a break from the stress of computer touching with some computer touching. Learning how to use the new #Godot version so I can implement some of #HyperGodot in it and get some multiplayer in there again.
When the computer don't be computing even though I beeped the boops in what looks like the right order. 😭

you can build a simple, maintainable website that serves zero JS by using nonstandard tooling (like Preact/Astro) on the server.
you cannot do the same by following web standards. that just makes me sad.
Spent a few mins today to fix up some more key bindings. Resizing windows is now easier with just my controller bindings and I can use my select/start keys for copy-paste in my terminal. Also alt+esc instead of ctrl+c for signal interrupt.
Gluing code together and discussing tradeoffs in distributed systems.
Simulating network requests to test a new feature in @distributed
You know how when you follow an account on Mastodon you don't get to see any of the users older posts unless someone else on your instance follows them? Well if it's a distributed press site it'll attempt to "backfill" your instance with all the older posts once your follow request is accepted. 😎
