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.

Once I get my matrix chat and email client stuff sorted out (using daemons with encrypted storage) I'll focus harder on microphone input and voice control. Especially now that I have a functional microphone on my face!

Got my XReal One Pro Plus today. I love it! The onboard head tracking is a total game changer. Especially with the virtual curved display and my Niri desktop environment's infinite horizontal scroll. It feels natural to look around my windows and navigate using my twiddler one handed keyboard. #ar #cyberdeck

I love books that couldn't be turned into a movie because of how weird and convoluted they are. 🤤 You just can't cram as much weird shit into two hours or less.

Yikes

Pisses me off how I can't use my bank's app without being forced to use that phone as my "two step verification" device. 😡

Setting up my travel phone is a pain in the ass but it'll be worth it to not have to deal with installing all the travel related BS onto my main phone.

Texas turning blue was not on my bingo card 🤪

Watching anime with Russian dub for language practice.

I'm impressed I haven't made any "deez nuts" jokes in professional settings.

It is concerning how we still have not had snow and that its quite warm out.

note to self: never buy a package via paypal again because then you will not be able to use tracking.

Apparently "decentralized" means "centralized censorship with extra steps"

What sort of asshole actually goes on an "ai skills marketplace" and spends money there?

Fuck daylight savings time!

Party I went to was more about consumerism and watching than it was about dancing. Unfortunate.
