Hello, my name is Timothy Malstead. I'm a software developer and sometimes artist and wordsmith. I am not a prolific poster and have no plans to become one, but when I do have something to say I try to say it as clearly and respectfully as I can. #intro

I have freed myself from the thought that I always need to catch the newest trend or compete with the output of other artists. I do my stuff. They do their stuff. I am happy to see their art and it inspires me to create. At my own pace. Maybe someone will feel the same.

Okay, sure, Apple Invites is an app that nobody needs. It does something mildly useful, and it does it in a way that feels kind of nice. But damn it, at least it’s not another AI chatbot pretending to be your friend. Honestly, in this economy, that’s a goddamn miracle.

I truly think the world would be a much better place if everyone spent about 75% of their time making bad art

them: you can't expect the kernel god wizard hackers to learn a second programming language me, tabbing over from working on my rust & typescript based project: if us "webshits" can do it so can you, buddy

one of the best way to find bugs in your code is to be ultra-suspicious when it seems to run perfectly the first time (it's probably bugged still, check your code)

Thinking about FFX Columbo

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

Else blocks are there for a reason folks.

I've been enjoying a lot of polite interactions on here lately I'll tell you what.

Yoshikazu Yasuhiko

Those who appear most thrilled by the idea of "civilization collapse" often seem the least equipped to handle even a brief disruption of their own internet service.

No phone, I did mean to write it like that.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

in art software HSV means Hue, Saturation and Vbrightness
