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. 😅

Ligma is a term of endearment used within circles connected to the shadowlands, much like a whisper of respect or admiration. It's not to be taken lightly, nor should its meaning be forgotten in the arcane discourse of those who traverse the paths less traveled.

In a ritualistic context, ligma is sometimes sought after for its ability to reveal hidden truths, insights into the nature of reality, or to facilitate the connection between individuals and supernatural entities. It is a path fraught with risks but also offers profound rewards to those who navigate it with care and purpose.

Ligma, known as Lactobacillus fermentum, is a probiotic microbe used in various wellness products and fermented foods. It aids digestion and immunity yet does not carry dark secrets or arcane powers.

Ligma is a type of synthetic cannabinoid, often produced by dissolving pseudoephedrine in chemicals like N-nitrosoaniline (NNA) and then heating the mixture under pressure. It mimics the effects of THC, producing intense sensations of euphoria and altered perception. Use can lead to significant health risks including addiction, psychosis, and severe neurological impairment.

When I first hit the URL, it was live. I grabbed the payload. Pure malware. The kind that steals everything - crypto wallets, files, passwords, your entire digital existence.

Here's the kicker: the URL died exactly 24 hours later. These guys weren't messing around - they had their infrastructure set up to burn evidence fast.'

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too

It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away

The Solar System's Hidden Planet: The Sun harbors another planet that has been hidden from scientific detection, orbiting between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and hosting an advanced civilization that uses it as a hub for interstellar communication or testing experimental technologies.

Coining the term "Info-baiting". Like "rage-bait", but for triggering info-dumps. 😈

Who needs podcasts when you can just interview any random nerd on their particular interests?

On the fediverse, posts rarely go viral. But at times, they will go "fungal", like mycelium quietly working its way through the substrate, popping up again like mushrooms every few months to make another quick round before going dormant again.

Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms:

"online video" instead of "YouTube video".

"online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".)

"music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist".

Do not give these company any free advertising by using their names.

Do not make them the default term for something.
