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.

It's frustrating how often abled people take up the acessible bathrooms when there's regular ones available. Folks with mobility issues literally don't have a choice.

Coding on my cyberdeck at the furwalk 🤓

Seems folks have appropriated the term "code rot" for some neo mystical BS. Like "the universe has code rot and is glitching" from what I can tell.

Gonna start zero indexing in meatspace to add some extra charm (incomprehensibility)

Still tryin to hold on to being a morning person. Slept until 7:30 ish today and woke up before my alarm

Isolating the specific token so I can spam it on linkedin and fuck with "agents". (and inoculate mine)

if you get an LLM to load a tool call with it's template's stop token it kills itself.

Lmao one of the candidates registered on the last day and all my bot came up with was "**Criminal charges (Sept 15, 2026):** Arrested and charged with two counts of criminal haras
sment, two counts of uttering death threats, possession of a weapon for committing an offence,
possession of a firearm without a licence, and occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm. Char
ges related to online posts targeting Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and Ontario Premier Doug For
d.".

Hey #Ottawa I'm getting my local LLM to trawl through candidates for the upcoming election. Would folks be interested in seeing the results of its research? I'm mostly interested in candidates stances on housing/policing/public transit issues.

One benefit / downside is that I felt exhausted last night and collapsed into bed without my usual pre sleep phone time that i'd use to exhaust my brain to sleep

Day three of starting work before dawn is going pretty good. It's kinda nice that everyone in the house is asleep. Some of my coworkers schedules start around this time which is convenient.

This is The Feature of Theseus with how much I've had to rewrite huge chunks of this pull request now. 😮‍💨

Seeing dawn is neat.

Amazing night to be doom scrolling the fedi 🤌
