a casual Friday night. it doesn't do much, but it does do this:

if you are building a brand new social media platform and it is not self-hosted and private by default, you are absolutely doing it wrong

I look forward to my GitHub copilot royalty check in the mail.

i wanna read this article on fin dom but it is taunting my stamina and demanding I pay

don't have to tell all of YOU this, but what a bunch of bullshit to ignore the great work of the Social Web W3C group! Twitter has done nothing but antagonize us in the process. Keep reminding these opportunistic fools. https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#Social_Web_Working_Group https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols/

I think I've rolled over to a place of dark humor, because this is so funny to me. What a future.

Finishing up my year by using my Modern Intel 8088 PC and revisiting one of my earliest memories: Think Quick. A educational logic game using the Robot Odyssey engine that had a level editor. Getting eaten by the worms and getting out of their belly was TERRIFYING.

It is spelled JavaScript. It is spelled Elasticsearch. We live in chaos. A hellscape of our own making from which we can never flee.

I find lots of early 3D survival horror games very relatable. I, too, only look good from about 1 or 2 preset angles.

My mail-order floppy collection. I lost all of my own originals, but I'm rebuilding and imaging these as I acquire them.

watching Oracle buy any technology is immediate proof that capitalism doesn't work

once again annoyed that a growth account is 0.03% interest but my loans are 6.8% interest. how is anybody my age supposed to win capitalism.

oh no. I seemed to have written an i286 cpu emulator and also an HTML window system capable of rendering bitmap fonts and am intercepting 16-bit windows kernel calls. how did this happen.

I, for one, like that we take distributed systems and sacrifice Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance in exchange for Capitalism.

It's unsurprising Twitter added audio uploads considering it's 100% their brand to take a feature like video upload, make it worse, and call it new.

how can any lucid, rational person watch any of this and ever trust the police

I'm trying my best to chill out and I've gotta say, PlayStation 2 emulation is SO GOOD right now.

WFH: WAAAAHing from home
