C++ is fine, tbh. One of the first langs I learned even though I haven't mastered it. My first *real* program was a thing that would capture key presses and rewrite your text so you can type like a troll.

Are folks making interesting programs entirely from REPLs? I use a JS REPL whenever I do math or want to manipulate some JSON for codegen or transforming some strings. That's about it!

For real I'm thiiiiiiiis close to doing somthing with lisp. I'm warning yah!

this old nintendo ds wasn't turning on

I removed the cartridge from the gameboy advance cartridge slot, blew on the cartridge, put it back on

now the nintendo ds turns on.

Womp womp. is not great. On a positive note, I managed to notice this by reviewing the code myself before I searched for an issue!

Made this thing a few years ago to simplify setting up wifi hotspots for apps to network together. Click a button and you either join an existing one or make a new one.

Claude code being down should be a snow day for slop devs

In a world of renting and subscription services it feels decadent to own something.

Maybe I should get a second one handed keyboard to double my output speed 🧠🧠🧠

Fuck websites that refuse to show content without JS enabled and the latest chrome browser. There's no reason that static text content needs all that BS except lazyness and apathy.

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

openpetition.de/petition/onlin

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

Neat, Electron apps only provide their full tree to the accessibility API if they detect that a process called `orca` is running. This means they don't work with any other screen readers without setting extra command line flags.

There have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:

1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.

Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.

If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective. The fact it comes at a regular frequency is a key factor. When you know that whatever happens next month, you can still buy food, that's a huge deal.

It's STABILITY

The pain of not knowing why the heck this data doesn't seem to be replicating. 😭 We've exchanged bitfields so it's presumably supposed to be replicating, but somehow there's one block missing. The system doesn't break but it adds weird latency to our setup.

Life is a rich tapestry (I say to myself smashing the block button)
