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. 😅

You know that little M$ registry tutorial to turn off Copilot that was floating around some time ago?

My laptop battery before the registry change - fully depleted from 100% right before the 90 minute mark 🪫

My laptop battery after the registry change - only dropped 15% from 100% after 90 minutes unplugged🔋

Managed to get my LLM to rephrase some boilerplate code but now I kinda want to refactor it to have less boilerplate. Should be easy with my new JSDoc powers

You know, I think that the LLM bros have it backwards.

Which, yes, so many things. But especially about usage.

See, if someone uses LLMs a lot, then there's really no need for -them- to be in the org at all; you can dike them out of the situation and leave the LLM instance "contributing" the same as they would.

So ideally, you should fire all the headcount that makes extensive use of LLMs and replace it with diversity of talent that does NOT use them, to give you the largest possible skills pool.

It's only logical.

The fact that opening a Mastadon link can send you to a Bluesky link, which sends you a paywalled subtack post is abusive

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

I think I found my first example of `do while` loops in production JavaScript since I learned about them in like 2011.

```
do {
i = this._findNext(i)
if (i === -1 || i >= end) break

if (this._requestRangeBlock(i, length))
return true
i++
} while (tries-- > 0)
```

I am becoming one with the JSDoc. I can now make functions that return different types based on optional arguments. 👼

Huh. Just chatted in person with someone who's been on #mastodon for a while, now, who honestly thought that all the Mastodon domains were run by Mastodon. And having a different domain was, like, just a vanity thing to look cool. It only came up because they were complaining about an issue they were having, and they were on a smaller server (not naming it for anonymity), so I suggested contacting their server admin about the problem. I was surprised when they answered "Dude nobody at big companies reads those reports. It just all goes to AI or whatever." It took some actual convincing to get them to believe that the server they're on does, in fact, have a living breathing human admin who can be talked to.

Anyway, folks, support your #fediverse server admins and moderators. With money, where you can. They're almost certainly getting messages from users who think that reporting things to an admin here is exactly like reporting stuff to Facebook or Google. IE: screaming at a giant faceless entity who's never going to care or do anything about whatever your problem is.
