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. 😅

It is the year 2026, and in order to buy a BrailleNote evolve and to get my SensePlayer repaired, I have to give AT companies my credit card number over the phone. I am being told by an AT company that their system is "encrypted and secure," yet they don't have a way to send a simple payment link for a repair. My freshly minted cybersecurity degree is absolutely screaming at the thought of transmitting raw cardholder data over an unencrypted voice line, but sure, let's pretend oral tradition is a valid compliance framework. And, because they don't support a standard and accessible online payment portal that I could just use independently with a screen reader, I now have to spend the next few days arranging for a sighted person to help me read my non-brailled physical credit card details just so I can call a rep and read them out loud. Nothing says "we specialize in independence for the blind" quite like forcing a blind customer to compromise both their financial security and their autonomy just to pay for an essential hardware repair.
If I were selling smart home utilities I'd have them try to brute force wifi so it could phone home if the user tried to lock it out of the net.

More than 200k users said NO!
More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!
#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!
We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.
We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.
If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.
If you use a search engine, you found it.
If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.
But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

I don't think the government controls the weather because no way they'd want this storming for Canada Day

"I shouldn't have to use CWs, you should use filters"
"I shouldn't have to be decent, you should be tough" is such a meaningful measure of a human.
You don't have to. That's the entire premise. Your body doesn't force you to be kind in order to keep you alive. It's optional. You can choose to be decent and respected or not and not.
No one is holding a gun to your head ordering you to be likable.

WELP, I find old.reddit.com the only way reddit is palatable; and I don't login to reddit.com anymore. So I guess it's going to be dead to me.
Made a little tool for performing Language Server Protocol queries from the command line. Should be less annoying than having the spawn the servers manually.
```
lsp-query workspace/symbol src/types.ts | jq
```
Some fixes that feel like a quick two liner can end up taking hours whereas some refactors that I expect will take a while to get right end up being a quick few minutes. 🤷
Did some slop dev with my local model last night. Turns out it's pretty decent at doing small changes for electron. Also getting a bit of practice coordinating two threads to work on different parts of the codebase. Still end up doing the hard bits myself since it's faster and more reliable.
I'm happy with how the electron unit tests are turning out since this approach is new to me. Zero framework, just the built in `node:test` module and some utils.

i think that is how obscurantism works. if you slog though some barely readable word slog, chances are you will attach some greater veracity or meaningfulness to whatever you get out of it.
additionally it makes it harder to isolate the claims and reformulate them, imagine test cases, etc.
Full moon tonight. Reflect on your month and dream of what you want for the upcoming cycle.

uBlock Origin on the client, Fail2Ban on the server, wash your hands with soap when you enter the kitchen or leave the bathroom. It's all just basic hygiene now.

Capitalism is a scam.
A New Lawsuit Claims the Memory Crisis Was Manufactured on Purpose
> Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which together control about 89% of the global DRAM market, are facing a class action lawsuit accusing them of coordinating production cuts and exiting older memory standards to artificially drive up prices during the ongoing memory crisis.
