if you don't fit into the narrow view society has of a functioning adult, society won't accommodate you. we already know that they won't install proper accessible infrastructure for things like wheelchairs, as making those changes requires effort from people who don't understand what struggle means beyond getting 10% less in bribes a certain year, but it goes further... people will not stop doing…
my previous therapist kept trying to get me to consider going into a hospital for in-person treatment, though i do get very close to seeking out intensive treatment sometimes. cause like, honestly what i lose. and then i remember what happens in inpatient mental health facilities and im like "ehh maybe not" trying my best to remember details about the inpatient mental health facility i saw (don't…
nostr is a great tool for helping people get over their social media addiction... by making them never want to post again other social media networks are user-hostile in service of generating revenue. nostr breaks that trend by being user-hostile because abusive behavior against women is normalized. other social media networks are full of conflict because algorithms have been tuned to maximize…
calling hytale a minecraft killer is missing the point. it's much closer to a mix of vintage story and cube world than minecraft or even terraria. if you come at it expecting to perfectly replicate minecraft you'd be better off playing luanti there is more than one voxel game. perhaps there are three or even four games in the infiniminer-like genre. much to ponder to Be continued…
i've been experimenting with discord's global push-to-talk on linux and i've made a discovery discord's push-to-talk detection only works on xwayland applications, so if i run discord under wayland proper, push-to-talk stops working when discord is focused every time i want to talk i have to tab into xeyes, then press the push-to-talk button so discord can detect it, and then tab back into discord…
the user experience for truly secure end-to-end encryption will never be good enough because it must always get in the way of the user. there is no secure e2ee scheme that solves this and there never will be this is for a similar reason that the user experience for having a lock on your front door will never be good enough. the user will have to carry around an annoying key everywhere, and will…
i have never heard a fire alarm actually correspond to a dangerous fire. it's always some bullshit like a drill (i know how to follow exit signs i don't need a pop quiz) or burnt food (which shouldn't trigger a full building alarm) at some point we have to realize that alarm fatigue is the strongest force in fire safety today and people just aren't going to evacuate on an alarm if they happen…
if you're writing a component for inputting math equations and you make it so that, when you switch tabs, the cursor resets to the end of the input, i think they should put you in some sort of metal cube and weld it shut for all eternity and then maybe blow it up with nuclear warheads to Be continued 私の名前も表示せずに、営利目的でも二次創作でも、自由に使ってください
if you're making a slider in a video game and you make it 1-10 when there is no technical reason for it not to be 1-100 i will break into your house and demonstrate slamming a sledgehamer into your head at 1% up to 100% sensitivity you have to reverse engineer the borderlands 2 settings format in order to make your sensitivity a reasonable value for some reason and i don't really care to hear the…
hot take: sohcahtoa is bad because it normalizes sine before cosine. sine represents the y value of a point on the unit circle while cosine represents the x value. since x is customarily placed before y, we should be taught cahsohtoa instead. i feel very strongly about this to Be continued 私の名前も表示せずに、営利目的でも二次創作でも、自由に使ってください
