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. 😅

@Colophonscrawl 'i had an archon come to me, huge guy, made of an infinite hellscape of rotting insectoid bodies, had tears in his eyes, and he told me, sir, with you in the universe b, we could be unfolding bigger and more beautiful ruin than anyone's ever seen. i believe it! and perhaps you would all need to be given new eyes to comprehend the horrors we will, maybe we will be unfolding in the future, who knows'

I feel like this whole Anthropic export ban thing should be a wakeup call to anyone outside the US that if you've been newly developing a dependency on a proprietary US cloud service the government could decide to restrict export access to at any moment, you've made a strategic error and should probably reconsider that.

Even though I don't have implants I can feel myself being a sort of cyborg already. The digital extensions of my self are similar to physical tools, but they're always there. More like a clothing item or sensory organ than a hammer I only bring out when needed.

Then I had the horror where the only place I could express this thought aloud was down because I was out of disk space again. 😭 A whole other severing of my exoself.

I was out without my bluetooth headset and it genuinely felt like I was missing a body part since I was disconnected from my data stream and couldn't pause/play my ebook reader on reflex like I usually do.

remind yourself of who you are.

remind yourself of what you want.

remind yourself of what you're doing.

remind yourself of what you carry with you inwards,

and what you carry out.

and most importantly

remind yourself of the difference between your self and other, because if you let the other past that difference, the self will be lost.

then seal your intent and your purpose, and then you can engage with the demon summoning or whatever the fuck horseshit you're wasting six counties' worth of electrical output to do.

Is it too much to ask for a petabyte of storage in a convenient and cheap package?

@mauve Yeah, it's on GitHub: github.com/trypsynth/paperback and the official site is paperback.dev. I create these things called markers, that form a tree of where headings, links, images, tables, etc are. It also ships with a CLI tool as of late, so you can get all its parsers (legacy/modern word, legacy/modern powerpoint, chm, rtf, epub, pdf, f2b, daisy, etc) from the CLI. Or, just pull in paperback-core and call into the parsers directly.

Shower thoughts 

Phrased backwards, if 98% of people with elite skills fail financially on the basis of having elite skills, financial success as a metric of quality is wrong about a hundred percent of the time.

Colleges and universities use document revision history (or lack thereof) as one mechanism to check for AI use in document creation.

More technically adept students use Pandoc, Org-Mode, or LaTeX and a git repo, which has no in-document revision history when converted to an .ODT or .DOCX file.

Is there a way to capture git revision history and merge it into a .DOCX or .ODT file's internal revision history.

Seeking a defense against profs who don't know git.
