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. 😅

IMO react makes stuff more annoying for everything except dynamically updated lists. Low key I miss Angular style data binding libraries.

Also apparently backbone is still a thing? backbonejs.org/

Groups: "Let's go around and have everyone share a fun fact."

Neurotypical: [A fact about themselves that's quirky in the most beige, unoffensive way possible]

Autistic: [A decontextualized deep slice about one of their special interests... maybe followed by a series of similar facts as they get increasingly excited]

ADHD'ers: [A decontextualized obscure connection that they made between two seemingly unconnected things... followed by a 30 minute attempt to provide the missing context]

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

If it's socially acceptable for dogs and cats to get the Zoomies, it should be socially acceptable for me too.

I should get to stop whatever I'm working on, and run around being crazy for 5 minutes, and everyone should laugh and say I'm cute.

After writing about people going into delusional spirals with ChatGPT and having what look like mental breakdowns, I wanted to understand exactly how it happens.

A corporate recruiter in Toronto who spent 3 weeks convinced by ChatGPT that he was essentially Tony Stark from Iron Man, agreed to share his transcript after breaking free of the delusion.

We analyzed the transcript & shared it with experts. Now you can see the interactions & how delusional spirals happen:

@aparrish maximum profit is a bad motivation but it's truly wild how many of the problems with our society are because we *specifically* chose to dictate everything by a motivation of "maximum profit on a window of exactly one-quarter year"

I fucking hate software updates. I hate that software became a perishable good, and with a short shelf life. Once installed, keep refrigerated and use within 7 days.

I've upgraded my gargoyle level. Now when I go to the grocery store I'm practicing my Twiddler 4 typing on my head mounted display running samsung dex from my phone. If I get good enough I'll swap the phone for a khadas edge 2.

Canadians: if you are Having Opinions about the Air Canada flight attendant's strike, please note that Air Canada spent half a billion dollars on stock buybacks in 2024. In 2023, the CEO's pay increased 233% to $12.4M.

This should inform your opinions about flight attendants, whose work is necessary enough that they need to be legislated back to work and yet somehow not worth paying for.

Waiting for hours on hold with city services to report a scammer that was blasting fake violin music and overstimulating me from like a block away. 💅 Can't wait for them to do nothing about it.
