Here's all the random web scrapes I've saved in Agregore. Mostly articles to do with tech.

I wish apps had an "actually dark" mode in addition to the "slightly darker mode" they sometimes give.

Frustrated by having a single body that can only be in one place at a time. Finite resources 🤬

Thursday is my Friday 😎

But I'm as productive as a Tuesday.

Been listening into more upbeat stuff lately instead of the heavier / industrial stuff.

what about an account that replies "cooperatives fix this." to all posts stating systematic failures?

One thing I found immediately weird about nushell is that while it handles strings "natively", the `length` command cannot take a string as input, only structured lists 🤔

Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender?

Maybe I should turn my weird arch linux setup into a preconfigured install for folks. :P

“GlassWorm isn't just another supply chain attack. It's using stealth techniques we've never seen before - invisible Unicode characters that make malicious code literally disappear from code editors. Combine that with blockchain-based C2 infra that can't be taken down, Google Calendar as a backup command server, and a full remote access trojan that turns every infected dev into a criminal proxy node.”

Instead of making the best service possible for the lowest cost possible conpanies are making the shittiest product they can get away with while locking users into eternal subscription fees.

The recent AWS outage exposed just how many devices need always-on internet access keep track of scheduled events and it really weirds me out because nearly all of these devices have an on-board clock and scheduling events offline on-device has been a solved problem since like the 70's.

Automatic cat feeders that fail to trigger at the appointed time, smart mattresses with scheduled warm/cold functions that failed to change state, and many other 'smart home' related devices.

What's the point of requiring a remote server to ping a device over the internet at the appointed time when your product already comes with a built-in calendar function as part of its basic hardware and software design?

every app update now feels like getting mugged in a slightly different alley

Monthly fire alarm tests are psychological warfare 🫨

Server Sent Events and the EventSource API are underappreciated .

Idea: language model tokenizer that only supports the top 255 most common words and punctuation. Using this to limit an existing LLM's output via a grammar gbnf definition. Have the existing LLM "reword" training data in this limited grammar. Use it to train nanochat with a highly compressed token space. ??? Profit?
