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.

The battery life of my setup lasts so much longer than my android phone! Probs cause I have my computer taped right to the 10k mAh battery pack 😁

My keyboard works with my SBC after all! It was an issue with the keyboard not being able to fill it's third bt slot not that the SBC didn't support it!

Question for #blind #linux users. Is there a way to make the TTY login screen acessible via text to speech somehow? I think I can get Orca running once I log in but it's hard to know when I can enter my login creds and if it succeeded. 🥲

The decisions behind Doom 3 make a lot more sense after playing System Shock. They were trying to be that but with more demons and gore. Maybe I'll appreciate a reay more than when I was a kid expecting it tl be like Doom 2

Computers are so annoying. Like why the hell does electron randomly stop supporting dark mode when it runs my app but not when I run the repl with the exact same version and flags 😭

Seriously, how is something like EventEmitter so fragile and broken by default? Maybe because there wasn't an equivalent in C# when MS was trying to C#-ify the web?

I'm so spoiled. 16 GB of RAM feels tiny these days. Not that long ago 8 GB felt like a lot.

I've hit peak #cyberpunk today by configuring my wearable linux box on my head mounted display while walking to the weed store. 😜

Any #ottawa peeps want to subscribe to a public calendar of rabdom events I plan to attend around the city?

Love too navigate the complexities of peer to peer decentralized systems. 🥰

Almost getting to the point where I can be productive with my #khadas Edge 2 SBC. My desktop env is running. Got my browser compiling, but I need to figure out how to bake some command line args when running it so it will do proper hardware acceleration. VSCode barely runs since it's so bloated so I'm probs gonna go back to nano or some editor with simple keybinds and LSP support

Working for large corporations erodes your future prospects as a worker because it makes it easier for a few giants to collude to reduce the average salary with coordinated mass layoffs. This is why there's so many white collar jobs being destroyed, not because "ai" is going to replace them all.

Being a human #ProTip: if you find yourself saying "sorry" too much. Start saying "thank you" instead. E.g. "Thank you for your patience" instead of "sorry I was 1 minute late". Sets the tone for collaboration and positivity.

Feels good to finally get a fix for a CI issue that's been plaguing my inbox with false errors. 😵
