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.

My spelling and grammar might be shit but at least I'm not spewing paragraphs of nothingness from the ocean boiling slop dispenser.

It's hard to be positive about slop-native corpos sometimes. Just send me your prompts and context instead of the "It's — not X, — — it's Y —" slop please.

I've had the same ringtone since about 2009. 😎

I miss being able to use unsigned ints without resorting to dark incantations.

I'm like *thiiiiis* close to figuring out why these tests are failing. 🥲 Something to do with range and bitfield events not being registered

Computer programming is about reading through 20k lines of diff to figure out WTF broke in your dependencies and how to work around it. ☝️🤓👍

One of my cats has taken to hanging out in my office more while I work and it's only a little bit distracting.

Whenever my screen reader hits a DNA sequence it sounds just like my cat chirping at a bird.

Love having my screen reader freak out repeating strings of ones and zeros or a string of DNA and just get to zone out for a minute trying to find any sort of pattern in the speech.

Software that modifies itself using human language is kinda nest tbh.

Machine learning is one thing. The trouble is in getting it to forget.
