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. 😅

Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.
GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.
Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.
If you’re not tracking people, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re using third-party cookies to track people – i.e., if you’re sharing their data with others – then *you must have their consent to do so*. Because, otherwise, you are violating their privacy. Even then, the law doesn’t mandate a cookie notice.
How would you conform to EU law without a cookie notice if your aim wasn’t malicious compliance?
You would not track people by default and you would make it so they have to go your site’s settings to turn on third-party tracking if, for some inexplicable reason, they wanted that “feature”.
Boom!
No cookie notice necessary.
What’s that?
But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating people’s privacy?
Good.
Your business doesn’t deserve to exist.
Because the real bullshit here isn’t EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, it’s the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyone’s privacy and opens the door to technofascism.
I miss finding random B movies at the local video rental place.
Got that labubu song stuck in my head 😵
Eyyy, fixed the weird issue I had where dark mode wasn't working for me in @agregore Next I'm gonna add a keyboard shortcut for "go up one directory level" since I use that a lot in file browsers
Celebrity worship makes me sick to witness. Placing people above others soley because they get more attention is immoral.

IMO contracts should require all parties to paraphrase them from memory in addition to the wording in order for them to be enforceable. If that's not possible then it's not fair to say there's enthusiastic consent on all sides.
DOOM really had maps figured out.
Got like 8 quadrillion cookies at once while my CpS is only 600 billion. 😎👍
#CookieClicker strat: Keep a 7x 15 mins CpS chunk of cookies unspent so that when you get a golden cookie that increases production you can cast "Conjure Baked Goods" to get a hefty chunk all at once. Even more if you wanna gamble on getting a golden cookie that uses factories or something as the bonus.

Lamphone is a clever, optical, side-channel attack that can turn a simple lightbulb into a makeshift microphone. It works because the filament inside a lightbulb subtly vibrates in response to sound waves, like someone talking. These tiny vibrations change the amount of light the bulb emits. By pointing a light sensor or photodiode at the bulb from a distance, a lamphone attack can detect these variations in brightness and convert them back into audio signals, effectively “listening in” on conversations without touching the microphone or the room.
It’s a striking example of how everyday objects can be exploited for surveillance, showing that even something as mundane as a lamp can leak information if you know what to look for.

My fave part of linux distros is the out of the box package managers for installing pretty much everything.

Web page loading performance tip: you’re not done optimizing until DNS and TLS are the biggest contributors to latency.
No, I am not kidding
