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.

Still need to map the interrobang via unicode escape sequence keystrokes to my chorded keyboard

These Microsoft based "silica disks" that store 4.8TB of data are pretty cool, but the density is kinda crappy for consumer uses.

Can't wait for these "5d memory crystals" to become viable for consumers. Gotta hook it up to my seedboxes and media library :P

Literally just tried to use my one handed keyboard to navigate this window when I noticed the notifs through the terminal I have open on my face. 🤪

Gotten to the point where I'm wearing my head mounted display hooked into my cyberdeck puck while I also have my handheld cyberdeck docked to my monitor. Gotta remember which keyboard to use and which program is open where sometimes.

git dihh

What do folks with physical #accessibility needs do about apps that seem to only scroll reliably with a mouse scroll wheel? I feel like a lot of them entirely ignore page up/down keys and overrload arrow keys to do more than scroll one line at a time. Mastodon web is pretty annoying for this.

I just want sugar free beverages without the artificial sweeteners. Gimme the raw chemical soup.

I love when the keyboard shortcuts fall into unconscious actions. Opening and navigating my desktop are mostly automatic with my one handed keyboard now. Sadly typing text still takes some focus unlike my thumb based keyboard on my GPD Win 4

In the algorithmic world, the act of interacting actively reshapes the systems associations closer to your embedding within them. Regularly listening to obscure tracks adds a bunch of my faves to their "recommended next" lists.

Even though I don't have implants I can feel myself being a sort of cyborg already. The digital extensions of my self are similar to physical tools, but they're always there. More like a clothing item or sensory organ than a hammer I only bring out when needed.

Then I had the horror where the only place I could express this thought aloud was down because I was out of disk space again. 😭 A whole other severing of my exoself.

I was out without my bluetooth headset and it genuinely felt like I was missing a body part since I was disconnected from my data stream and couldn't pause/play my ebook reader on reflex like I usually do.

My mastodon server has been down since friday 😎👉👉

These 30B-A3B models really act like 10 3B models trying to yap over each other at the same time instead of one more competent model.
