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.

so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said:

1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in

2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you

3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

Two trees near my house got fully uprooted last night 💀

maybe a third 80 dollar xray will finally lead to an actionable diagnosis. 🙃

People who are bummed when they only get 5 or 6 boosts don't seem to realize that that is 90% of all active accounts in the Fediverse.

Wow that was some unbelievable winf and rain just now. So glad I can be indoors and above the flooding. 😱

The cashier at the grocery store was visibly sketched out by my appearance with the bright purple KN95 mask. 😈

Being sick is so emberassing. Like "oh noo I can't operate at full capacity because my immune system is fighting off an attack 🥺👉👈"

#FediHood is now available!

Talk with people near you. A local chat on the #Fediverse where you share only your city, never your exact location. You adjust your timeline with distance and topic filters.

It's in early beta and web only for now. It connects to the whole Fediverse, and you can send #E2EE DMs between FediHood and Holos users. The source code will be published soon. Don't hesitate to share!

I always suspected a UK government would eventually reverse course on "coding in public".

So I've been backing up all government code. For six years.

Today I finally generated a report on what has been deleted. Its much worse than I realised.

Fuck paypal and the mobile app they rode in on.

I looooove laying down on the floor whenever the opportunity presents itself.

They shoulda called the "anti-woke" mob "social injustice warriors"

Lmao this furry dance has a body tracked vr avatar gogo dancer in the corner of the room.

: the readline module is great if you want an easy newline delimited json RPC api from a byte stream!
