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.

I'm so spoiled. 16 GB of RAM feels tiny these days. Not that long ago 8 GB felt like a lot.

I've hit peak #cyberpunk today by configuring my wearable linux box on my head mounted display while walking to the weed store. 😜

Any #ottawa peeps want to subscribe to a public calendar of rabdom events I plan to attend around the city?

Love too navigate the complexities of peer to peer decentralized systems. 🥰

Almost getting to the point where I can be productive with my #khadas Edge 2 SBC. My desktop env is running. Got my browser compiling, but I need to figure out how to bake some command line args when running it so it will do proper hardware acceleration. VSCode barely runs since it's so bloated so I'm probs gonna go back to nano or some editor with simple keybinds and LSP support

Working for large corporations erodes your future prospects as a worker because it makes it easier for a few giants to collude to reduce the average salary with coordinated mass layoffs. This is why there's so many white collar jobs being destroyed, not because "ai" is going to replace them all.

Being a human #ProTip: if you find yourself saying "sorry" too much. Start saying "thank you" instead. E.g. "Thank you for your patience" instead of "sorry I was 1 minute late". Sets the tone for collaboration and positivity.

Feels good to finally get a fix for a CI issue that's been plaguing my inbox with false errors. 😵

Android sucks because most apps are not keyboard accessible and won't scoll correctly without touch swiping to scroll 😵 E.g. the discord server / dm tingie doesn't even work with mouse clicks 🫠

Somone send me code they wrote that was fun to write please!

Soundcloud's "offline play" feature is garbage. How is it not instant and why does the album art need to load from the net every single time? 👿

Fierce battle of polytopia session at the club 😎🤓

Been warching "Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill" to get my apetite up and get inspo for cooking.
