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.
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.

The russian parody translation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is still the best version IMO
I hate to admit it but the Apple UI ecosystem seesm to be the most coherent one even though I despise the new "Liquid Ass" design they've pushed out. At least I don't need to think about three competing standard ui toolkits and a bunch of one off ones that are all a pain in the ass to style the same way. 🤪
I don't think this upcoming generation is going to give a damn about centralized intellectual property and media.

In this day and age, the simple backstitch feels like the ultimate One Weird Trick (Capitalist) Garmentmakers Don't Want You To Know.
Like, what do you mean I can grab literal pennies' worth of thread and a needle that cost maybe ten cents, turn my cycling glove inside out, sit down with it for five minutes, and all of a sudden the hole that had opened up at the thumb joint is better than when I got it??
Repair is so rad!! Tell your friends. If you don't known how to backstitch a seam back together, ask a friend who does, see if there's a repair cafe in your area, heck, look it up on YouTube. Every repair is one less piece of trash!
My greatest gift to this household has been figuring out how to disable the sound on the microwave.
64 gbs of non expandable storage is brutal 😭
Updated some software recently and it actually made it better and not drain my system resources as fast. Who knew that was possible?!
Not letting myself have an energy drink today. 💪 I'll add more protein to my diet and take it slow instead of maxing out caffeine and sugar.
Should I become a tech larper and focus on style over utility? 🤪
Reading "Half Past Human" and all the casual cannibalism in the story is an *interesting* choice.
A lot of web designers seem to enjoy having a bunch of different fonts and font sizes on a page and I guess I just don't get why that's necessary.

@QasimRashid Brazilian here. A lot of people thought it was already lost after the first round and we were going to be fucked, but everyone went to the streets and to social networks like crazy. We all united, the young and the elderly, the students and the workers. For 3 weeks, we ceased all our internal struggles among the leftists and we acted as a single organism. Together, we did what was believed to be impossible, because it never happened before.
You can do it too!
