I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

I hate to admit it but the Apple UI ecosystem seesm to be the most coherent one even though I despise the new "Liquid Ass" design they've pushed out. At least I don't need to think about three competing standard ui toolkits and a bunch of one off ones that are all a pain in the ass to style the same way. 🤪

I don't think this upcoming generation is going to give a damn about centralized intellectual property and media.

My greatest gift to this household has been figuring out how to disable the sound on the microwave.

64 gbs of non expandable storage is brutal 😭

Updated some software recently and it actually made it better and not drain my system resources as fast. Who knew that was possible?!

Not letting myself have an energy drink today. 💪 I'll add more protein to my diet and take it slow instead of maxing out caffeine and sugar.

Should I become a tech larper and focus on style over utility? 🤪

Reading "Half Past Human" and all the casual cannibalism in the story is an *interesting* choice.

A lot of web designers seem to enjoy having a bunch of different fonts and font sizes on a page and I guess I just don't get why that's necessary.

I keep forgetting the default for countries is to be harsh on weed and maximize alcohol. 😮‍💨

Paper money is pretty convenient, but it'd be so much more satisfying to carry a bunch of high value coins.

Ugh I wish we had ranked voting as the standars for elections

My friends and I were the only folks under 50 that I could see at the voting booth today. I feel like young people are failing themselves by not doing this bare minimum part of directing our lives.

Ordered the XReal 1 Pro+ with prescription lenses and the XReal eye camera. I'm pretty excited to have a less janky mic/camera setup for my cyberdeck and the onboard spatial tracking with extra large virtual displays should be nice. We'll see if it gets here in time for my next trip. (probably not)

Christians should return to the principles of Distributism instead of hyperfixating on hating minorities while their world burns down around them.
