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. 😅

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.

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. 😡

Setting up my travel phone is a pain in the ass but it'll be worth it to not have to deal with installing all the travel related BS onto my main phone.

Texas turning blue was not on my bingo card 🤪

Watching anime with Russian dub for language practice.

I'm impressed I haven't made any "deez nuts" jokes in professional settings.

It is concerning how we still have not had snow and that its quite warm out.

letting them con us all into believing phone apps were something categorically different from a computer program was where we strayed from the light of god

note to self: never buy a package via paypal again because then you will not be able to use tracking.

Apparently "decentralized" means "centralized censorship with extra steps"

What sort of asshole actually goes on an "ai skills marketplace" and spends money there?

Party I went to was more about consumerism and watching than it was about dancing. Unfortunate.

AI vs algorithms 

Yes, an 8 Terabyte AI on a hyperscale data center can now solve a sudoku.

But so can a 16KB Gameboy with the right algorithm.

Finding a toilet while non binary is a humiliation ritual where you have to pick a gender. On the other hand you can swap to the other gender if the one you picked is too crowded. 🤔

it took a while, but the bash script i wrote to find the most popular article category on wikipedia by curling every single article has finally finished. no i don't know what a "database dump" is. i can now reveal that the most popular category by far is 429 Too Many Requests

More "boring" service providers who are content with a modest profit margin and slow organic growth, please. I don't even care if the UI looks "dated" and new features take a long time to be built. Traditional boring bare metal, only add new customers when you have capacity to support it, whatever.

A company of 50+ year old tech veterans who have been laid off and left behind from age discrimination just looking to keep the bills paid until retirement.

Run it like a co-op, like a little credit union that isn't looking to expand quickly, just serve their little niche of the community.

"i told my dad 'would it be easier if you imagined me as a swarm of bees' and now he uses they/them more often"

The russian parody translation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is still the best version IMO
