@MichaelKlamerus I feel like all tech I was excited about became significantly worse. I was excited by how freeing smart phones were going to be, but instead they became little anxiety inducing boxes of tech admin. I remember thinking about what could be done with internet connected devices and it just turned out that everyone put a camera on their doorbell. I remember the internet being an exciting playground, not just apps.It’s all just turned bad.

Can we just get a little round of applause for all the admins for keeping the lights on this last week or so, and also for the mods who put in the work to keep the communities safe and fun.These people have been doing a cracking job recently.

The old computer design where the system os in the keyboard and you just plug into any monitor is far superior to any computer design since. The Amstrad CPC464 was the pinnacle of computer design.

@neauoire is the intention to create a version of either pipes or the plumber to have these processes talk to each other?

Computers should be more like lego; in that the big box of Lego you had as a kid in the 80s still works seamlessly with brand new lego kits with no effort.More stuff should be like lego.

Folks, we can do better than makefiles can't we?Like, make is pretty good, but that syntax is rank.

Tabs are uppercase spaces. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Last night my wife had the non stick penny drop moment while I was cooking."That isn't a non stick pan: She said."Nope" I replied."But the food doesn't stick to it""Nope""Why?" She inquired."Seasoning and proper cooking, it is actually very easy to not have food stick."A moments silence passed."So what is the point in non stick pans then?" she asked.

A family member was throwing out an old mirror cabinet so I rescued the door to use as an inking plate for linocut. Needs a good clean, but should work a treat!If my ink arrives today I can make a print tonight!

A few moments to work on this again this morning. Got the score printed when the game ends.I have about only a couple more things to do on this now and then I am calling it quits. The code is heavily unoptimized and I feel I have gotten all I am really going to get out of working on this now without losing interest.Time to move onto something new.I have actually really enjoyed learning a bit of UXN, it is fun,

We live near a school and theres a picket outside with a big sign saying "honk to support teachers". From all the toots I am hearing there is a LOT of support for striking teachers here.It is just a shame it comes from cars.

Here is a idea. Instead of banning TicToc because it gathers sensitive user data, how about we just ban gathering sensitive user data?

When companies like Nintendo end of life a console such as the 3ds I wish they woukd just push one final update that opens up the firmware and just publish some kind of sdk.That would be great.

Before someone says something about them wanting to sell new consoles instead of people playing with the old ones.1. I know.2. Capitalism.3. That is an admission that their new console and games are not good enough to convince people to migrate.

If everyone stopped publishing on platforms like substack and just wrote on their own websites we could effectively kill big tech over night.

@neauoire I see that you, like me, belong to the group of chaos goblins that just grab the nearest reasonably flat thing and shove it into the book.
