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.

Why do all the straight boys look the same these days? Like all the same haircut and same style of clothing 💀

I'm back to hosting the monthly DWeb Virtual meetups. Looking forward to this speaker lineup!

Having shorter friends is convenient because it's easier to pick em up and spin them around.

we take security very seriously. that's why we have gotten you used to constantly smashing in your login credentials until it becomes something you do uncritically and as fast as possible

This has been most useful when I was jumping over a fense near a waterfall and my phone managed to pop out of my pocket on the other side. Would have lost it there if I didn't know to go right back to it :P

I got an extra sense called "Did I forget my phone somewhere" which triggers when my bluetooth headset randomly disconnects.

I let my local model read whatever it wants and use a bunch of "non destructive" bash commands, but I review everything else it tries to do. So far so good. Maybe my closet box is too dumb to bother doing fancy sandbox escapes.

last night, while sharing my screen to the people of the queer computer club, I typed "new" into my url bar. instead of autocompleting to "news.ycombinator.com" it completed to "newgrounds.com." felt like my soul had been weighed by anubis and it was found to be lighter than a pound of feathers

OK, I admit it: it'd be convenient if classes could have decorators on methods. Memoization of async methods would be so much cleaner and more reusable if we had them.

The plus side of the LLM boom is that demonology is easier to get into than ever!

Unionizing creates opportunities for consent,

by ensuring that the ground rules establishing when consent is necessary during the course of business are understood by all parties, and enforceable by means of withdrawing labor when that consent is not respected.

Workin on only allowing myself to use my one handed keyboard for typing across all my devices to improve my typing speed and accuracy. Getting a lot faster with coding.

Not a fan of the cold and wet during fall but at least the mosquitoes are gonna die soon

will never understand why anyone would want the fedi to go "mainstream"; as though there's not already plenty of mainstream social networks for people who want to feel connected to everyone in the world

lean in to the weird little server vibes where you can chat shit and flirt with your friends imo; destroy the concept of "the fediverse" as a mappable monoculture and embrace how you can have fun just seeing a tiny 1% of posts from your cozy corner instead

#Oxford #recycling RedZone: turns out that the year plan we printed in April contained an error offsetting the cycle from the first week of August onwards. Council quietly corrected it online without telling us ... oxford.gov.uk/downloads/file/4 Will probably catch out others as well when coming back from hols and out of the habit of the two-week cycle.

it's wild how all of your opinions are ill-considered and morally questionable rubbish, while all of mine are noble and reasonably argued. can't imagine how most of you manage to live without being burned at the stake

annoyed by fedi only letting me scroll for a few minutes before i hit yesterday's feed and have to return to living my life and making stuff i want to make
