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. 😅

One thing that still shapes how I think of the world is this introductory linguistics class where the instructor have explained the difference between prescriptivist and descriptivist linguists.

Prescriptivists think they know language better, or at least think that one can know “the language” “better.” For them, language is governed by rules and patterns, and everyday language is merely a manifestation of these structures.

Descriptivists take a totally different stance. They believe that everyday language is “the language” and that language is continuously reshaped by its users in unpredictable ways. Which means: there is no structure, and no rules set in stone. Only the language itself, an entity in constant flux.

Being a prescriptivist is comforting while quite involved in the justifying change part. Being a descriptivist is FOMO, but freeing in that you know there’s no universal unattainable truth.

This one class made me a descriptivist. Not only in linguistics, but in many other areas and systems. Before I rush to change something, I think: is this situation a consequence of how people interact, systemically? Is there benefit to it? Should I understand it better before trying to impose my rules on it?

I should.

Jealous of europeans since they get access to the fancy nitrous oxide monster energy drink flavors all they want.

Found a guy doing FPV at the beach and he liked checking out my wearable computing setup. Feels really natural to walk around in mixed realities. Especially with how easy it is to move the screen into the corner without needing fancy window managers.

One thing they don't tell you about polyamory is how much work it is to make time for everyone before a long trip :P

I love being a clueless tourist and getting lost on public transit. At least I can actually speak the language here!

Woop. Got my mastodon instance back up. I really need to figure out why that cron job for running maintenance still doesn't work. 🤷

Painfully slow for now but still, it works, manipulating the content of (flat) windows in XR hands-free video.benetou.fr/w/tdL1S1M6twa using just open-source CLI tools on the Frame.

Low information people coopting terms from very specific contexts irks me a little.

Once I get my matrix chat and email client stuff sorted out (using daemons with encrypted storage) I'll focus harder on microphone input and voice control. Especially now that I have a functional microphone on my face!

Got my XReal One Pro Plus today. I love it! The onboard head tracking is a total game changer. Especially with the virtual curved display and my Niri desktop environment's infinite horizontal scroll. It feels natural to look around my windows and navigate using my twiddler one handed keyboard.

I love books that couldn't be turned into a movie because of how weird and convoluted they are. 🤤 You just can't cram as much weird shit into two hours or less.

Stardust running on Frame and built on Frame.

Because again you don't need another computer to modify your (virtual) environment, you can do it all on the device itself.

Pisses me off how I can't use my bank's app without being forced to use that phone as my "two step verification" device. 😡
