Software developer. Most comfortable with Go, can do frontend too. I built jungletv.live, underlx.com, tny.im and more. I know more about the internals of GTA V and Watch Dogs than their average players. Sometimes I make music and high effort shitposts.

Every LLM ad feels like that one Kanye song where he just repeatedly says variations of poopity-scoop over some random beat. Have you ever needed to Poopy-di scoop? Our new model can Scoop-di-Whoop. With the next generation of Scoop-diddy-whoop you can Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop. Like...who is this for?

in light of discord.com/blog/passing... I am thinking of how there is no good place to go right now. Signal's desktop app is bad, Matrix is doing better but still very nerd-tier, XMPP is a joke, IRC is a double joke, any other clone (Revolt/Guilded) is shady as all hell

Thanks for the option to hide verification badges. To me there is value on exploring multiple signals for verification, but the verified badges are quite noisy on timelines. I would prefer an option to keep the badge on profile descriptions and on hover, instead of disabling them everywhere though.

The cumulative hours I've been spending interacting with Cookie Clicker lately really are in disagreement with its classification as an idle game. Worse: I started this run on the Steam edition, so not only it is a time waster, it also makes it inconvenient to play games on my other computers.

Most subject matter experts don't have the time and energy to play The Algorithm Game, so they don't become as prominent in YouTube/social media as those who, despite not being experts, play it hard. And when legit experts get into it, they can easily start losing focus, falling behind the times.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykjr... Going from "I didn't know how to code", to using Ghidra productively, to actually achieving such a goal in a quite complete fashion, in the space of just two years... while also making videos about other stuff in the meantime... it's wild.

My first inclusion in a starter pack! (Even though I haven't done anything for calculators in a decade, and I never did anything for TI calcs, period 🙈)
