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.

Freedom of screech

Fun challenge for slop-curious and slop-native programmers: race the LLM to fix the issue or implement the feature. So far My intuition helps me use fewer "operations" and debug rounds even though the LLM can read and spit code faster.

Best part of working from home is getting to pet a cat or smooch a partner on my way to a water refill.

Been playing matchmaker with my introvert friends.

Fun fact: the direction of the polarization on my phone is the opposite of my computer monitor.

I like to wear sunglasses with adjustable polarization so that I can see a different filter in each eye. The only real advantage is that shiny surfaces look weird as they only reflect the sun in one eye at a time

Maybe the real "personal data stores" were FTP servers all along.

Came across this neat tool for creating #nodejs modules from #rust code.

90s electronic dance music to fix data migration edge cases to. 😎👍

I'm like *this* close to making my own text editor. 🤪

Evil business idea: Easy Leak Fingerprinting. Rearrange some words/sentances in a message before emailing it out to a list to have invisible fingerprints to track down who shared it externally without them being aware. More robust than adding extra metadata to a file.

Wizards With Guns is my current fave comedy group. Followed closely by Aunty Donna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiMpuAc0_Nw

How are there still Drake glazers after They Not Like Us got blasted globally??

It's hard to be invested in the moral superiority of shooter game protagonists as they commit mass murder on "the bad guys". Like, sure this "devil rider boss" had done some crime, but my "protagonist" character has killed thousands of people compared to robbing a bank or whatever tf the bad guys do.

Your epitaph is your next opportunity.

Humans are my favorite animal 💜
