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.
Android sucks because most apps are not keyboard accessible and won't scoll correctly without touch swiping to scroll 😵 E.g. the discord server / dm tingie doesn't even work with mouse clicks 🫠

Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website
Somone send me code they wrote that was fun to write please!
Tech bugs rambling
Soundcloud's "offline play" feature is garbage. How is it not instant and why does the album art need to load from the net every single time? 👿
Fierce battle of polytopia session at the club 😎🤓
Been warching "Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill" to get my apetite up and get inspo for cooking.

If your website embeds some kind of shitty PDF viewer into it instead of allowing me to download and read it locally, know that I despise your whole operation and will do my best to avoid it.
Web apps in your bookmarks? More like spells in your grimoire
Eternally thankful that I'm not popular enough for my hot takes to matter 🥰
The gall of people submitting low effort "security suggestion" slop with most of it being irrelevant or incorrect. 🫠

When I was little there was a big weeping willow tree on my street & I was terrified of it. I was convinced the branches were gonna scoop me up and swallow me whole.
One day I got brave & went up to it...and it swallowed me, I've been inside the tree ever since, it's pretty nice in here actually
Fuck my chungus life apparently my keyboard has bluetooth 2.0 and my computer only supports 4+ 😭
Yippee I got a new computer. It's like a chonky credit card. Just gotta get a pass through battery for it and figure out mobile internet. My apple trackpad might make a comeback to supplement my one handed keyboard which is gonna be my new primary input device

Windows 12 is due to come out this year.
1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.
Why?
Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.
2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.
That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.
NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.
Source? Yes, this is real.

Came across this cool #rust based screen reader for Linux. Their approach seems compatible with what I've been wanting.
