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. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

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.

Tried to do chameleon mode with my Viture XR pro HMD and my Niri based desktop environment. Each eye gets half of the extra wide monitor so I can size windows to be 25% width and swap between them without too much hassle. Still hard to remember which eye the mouse pointer is one sometimes.

Got one of those "puzzle feeders" for my cats. The more chunky one has been hesitant to use it but she's finally come around. I think they're enjoying the added stimulation of trying to pull their food out with their paw.

Apparently me as a blond looks like a hippie vegan that does acid. 🤷

Bleached my hair. How will people know I have pronouns now?!

Fuck companies (in this case microsoft) that want me to install their shitty "passkey" app to log in in the middle of setting something unrelated up. The way these companies are allowed to shit on the concept of user consent makes me sick.

There's a weird indie animation renaissance going and I love it.

My cat is being very patient with me coding on my cyberdeck instead of petting her while she's on my lap.

The next Rust is gonna be C

Linux 😭 The distro I was using on my sbc fell apart because of some sort of infighting and the replacement project's package repos have some sort of conflict with my vulkan setup. Might need to just nuke my setup and go from scratch.

Did you know they're still releasing marvel movies?

Gonna LARP as a Druid since it's the opposite of my out of game terminal infatuation with digital information systems. 🤪

Love being able to code up a script for automating tedious actions on websites by inspecting what they do at the network level. 🤗

Wish it wasn't so cold still. This'd be the perfect time to take out my hookah.

I went for a second round of waiting in line to get a black forest ice cream sundae. Worth the chaos 🌝

The true heroes are the people working the costco food court. Seems as intense as an ICU with the rabid crowds wanting their hotdogs.
