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. 😅

“Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers

CLI email clients are so fucked because email is so fucked. Like, I want to just have `cat body.txt | email send --to example@example.com` `email list --from example@example.com | less`
My coworkers are saying slop dev now 😈
@TheQuinbox BTW thanks again for recommending TDSR! I'm still not at the point I can code a lot on it but I've been slowly progressing and it's been really easy to modify it given how small the codebase is.

A weird thing about living in #Massachusetts is constantly having other Americans tell you the life you live every day is impossible.
"You can't tax billionaires, they'll leave."
We have been, and they didn't.
"You can't legalize weed, it will increase crime."
We did, and it didn't.
"You can't make public transit free, it will cost too much."
We did, and it didn't.
And on and on, and the lesson to learn is don't listen to the billionaire media professional whiners and just do what's right for your community AND IT WORKS! But I still have to listen to this stupid shit every day.
Thankful for having access to air conditioning this year and spare time to enjoy the summer on my own terms.
The wait times in Ottawa healthcare suck, but the quality and cost is pretty decent. Saddens me that the Ontario government is working so hard to ruin it.
Seems the StandardJS code style checker can't really be called that anymore because it hasn't been updated in a couple of years and already can't parse new syntax.

Websites gotta figure it out, with the asking about cookies thing. I can’t keep living like this

«I don’t need a stair-climbing wheelchair that costs $30,000 and requires a maintenance crew. I need better doorknobs and or a ramp. But a ramp is boring. You can't make investors have a hard on for a ramp that doesn't connect to the cloud. You can’t give a TED Talk about a ramp. You can’t get venture capital funding for a slightly wider doorframe.»
Dang, maybe I'll actually get a pair of these now that the reverse engineering has gotten pretty far.

CIRA is the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.
Its CRM system is Salesforce. Its email is hosted by Microsoft. Its website is fronted by Cloudflare.
So much for "digital sovereignty". When organizations such as CIRA don't even make the effort, how do they expect others to do so? Very shameful.
So far Broken Reality 2000 is exactly what it needs to be as a sequel. 🥰
The most effective alarm clock is the monthly fire alarm test. 🙃

Lest you think that union-busting is strictly a private sector activity, my best friend works for one of the University of California’s libraries. She is paid way less to work for their library than a normal person in her job would be, by policy, just because it’s the library. About 40% less. The university told her that’s just how they do things and that was policy.
The library unionised. The school tried to bust the union. Correspondence about it “mysteriously” disappeared. They stated their official position was that a union was not needed. They tried to pressure the employees involved to stop. They cried “budget” and blah blah. Usual nonsense.
They voted to unionise anyway.
The school is being dragged to the negotiating table.
Just in case you thought that this shit didn’t happen in the public realm.
