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 love reading code.

It might be September but it's still nice enough for hot girl summer shenanigans

Kinda wish the local club scene was less straight or that we had more of a local rave scene 🥲🥲🥲

The greatest mystery in computer science: why does my bluetooth headset sound better on Android than Linux. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Worshiping the wealthy is killing us.

Using all my willpower not to code at the movie theater. 🤪

New moon tonight!

24. I ended up getting this instead of the e12 since they seemed less sketchy. Been making progress reverse engineering the protocols! It's a bit more funky than I expected, but it shouldn't be too bad.
