Kinda want to start carrying a brick around when I walk.
Been enjoying hosting monthly parties. This month is sushi themed where everyone will bring some toppings and we'll all make a bunch of rolls to pass around.

conspiracy theory
another tangent (this may actually exist, let me know):
how come the UN (or some other multinational entity) does not offer a search engine that is not tied to any state, to any government, to any corporation?
how come there isnt a search engine that is a public good, a public service?
and dont mean the code... I mean a fully funded entity committed to indexing and cataloguing the internet with no profit motive.
Feels goos to be getting back into my usual parts of the codebase after wresting with a bunch of other bits for a while.

I will happily accept the parts of this proposed legislation that requires social media companies to reduce or eliminate algorithmic timelines, endless scrolling, functioning visibility restrictions and other controls that benefit everyone.
I actually think that such legislation would be widely popular, and would eliminate like 80% of the harmful effects of mainstream social media without any of the catastrophic impacts of forcing identity verification everywhere.
Kinda disappointed that one guy didn't actually fight a chimp but it's probably for the best that it got cancelled.
That clove of pickled garlic might have been a bit too much right before sleep. 🤤😵
Considering getting an eink phone for real as a "travel phone" so I can get better battery and not worry as much about losing it.
Is profiting from stock via dividends still a thing or are we stuck gambling with stock price fluctuations?

Lol, the site has blocked me for… what exactly? Having a fingerprinting-resistant browser? I should probably change my user agent to ChatGPT or something.
Taking all my willpower to not say "figma nuts". Every time I review designs.
Showed my zoomer friend Invader Zim and now they're obsessed with Gir. 💜
Grinding dog residue so I can put temmi through college 💪
I don't need those new gambling apps cause I gamble every time I choose to fill up on gas or wait for a better price.
Every line of code you own is a liability. Adding more of it faster is a great way to paint yourself into a corner.
Emulating a sync API over an async RPC channel is hell. This is exactly why I don't like "magical" APIs and frameworks that prioritize "ease of use" while hiding details.

if you're someone who is -actually hiring yourself- or who is in direct discussion with someone who is, again, the -actual hiring person- whomst I can talk to about acquiring an actual job and not fighting the godsdamned fucking llm horseshit, please do let me know.
I love reading code.
It might be September but it's still nice enough for hot girl summer shenanigans
Whoever is in charge of SoundCloud's Android app needs to review their offline caching logic 😮💨 It's like everything is pending on network requests.
