sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Monday, 02-Oct-2023 10:28:38 JST sourcecode jerk til red delicious apples used to taste good back in 1893 all the way up to maybe the 1980's but then they got capitalism'd, bred only for what moves product: bright consistent solid color and resilience to blemishes during shipping. and the flavor fell out
what i don't get is why they're still the #2 best selling apple in the united states (they were #1 until 2019)

off the cuff i know of google, bing, notion, mozilla, and feedly
preferably orderable by how much harm they'll inflict by doing so

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Tuesday, 12-Sep-2023 07:14:45 JST sourcecode jerk i will Gotta Hand It To google exactly one thing: by enshittifying their products so thoroughly, they made it easy to say "why not block them in my robots.txt? the search results are shit anyway!" and similar arguments
that's so convenient! thanks google!
imagine if they spent just $1B of their $290B annual revenue on end user quality, making stuff that i really want to use, that i feel like ehhh i hate that they violate my privacy but it's kinda worth the price? wow that would be stressful!

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Tuesday, 12-Sep-2023 07:14:44 JST sourcecode jerk google, another job well done!
for the past several work days i haven't been able to read the text on my pair-programming partner's screen-share that we do daily in google meet. looks like we've both been capped at 720p, while our desktops are 1080p. so it's just a blurry mess
this is great! i'm super excited about it. thank you google!
because it means i get to do a trial run of alternatives including self-hosted jitsi and possibly never have to touch google fucking meet ever fucking again

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Wednesday, 06-Sep-2023 06:49:31 JST sourcecode jerk surprised by the results of this poll, it didn't go the way i'd have chosen
i think i'd probably? trade an eye for the fantastic privilege of spending the rest of my life stress-free building what i want instead of what some employer wants
bit of a toss up since my current employer is not too bad and statistically i've only got 22 years of grind left
but if i were still at the old bad job and i were 20 years younger? heck yeah in a heartbeat!

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Friday, 01-Sep-2023 09:13:29 JST sourcecode jerk feels like there should be some kind of clever human-organizational process ritual/hack that can organically and without explicit paid management hierarchy tap the skills of tens-of-thousands-strong masses of laid-off computer-touchers, to build various not-necessarily-profitable software artifacts capable of utterly obliterating their former shitty employers
and like a math proof or a geometric tiling it's just a matter of discovering it

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Monday, 14-Aug-2023 12:48:36 JST sourcecode jerk @technomancy oh yeah, "developer" is totally interchangeable with "engineer" depending on which one the company that you're applying to work at thinks is superior
so many nerds want to fight about the actual definitions but they mean ~nothing~

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jul-2023 00:58:01 JST sourcecode jerk working on some frontend website design stuff for the employer with lots of text and photography, checking things look right on the employer-issued retina macbook and going back to my hardware for linux, is beginning to make me envy high-dpi displays. a little.
i think as soon as i get onto wayland so i can have a desktop span a mix of low and high dpi monitors it will be time to upgrade one of 'em

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jul-2023 00:58:00 JST sourcecode jerk ah, here's one definite benefit of high dpi displays
when google meet [contrary to any user request or preference] slightly shrinks the shared screen full of code,
[interstitial rant about how shitty fucking google goes out of their way for some reason to make it impossible to have a 1-to-1 full-resolution view]
... it's all fuzzy blur on my normal 1080p monitor but on this laptop's 227 ppi screen it remains readable (with squinting)

but remembered i still had a couple accounts there waiting around for the day i had enough spoons to figure out how to export my own posts and comments for archival before deletion
checked into it this morning. turns out most of those comments have already gone missing somehow?
oh well. deleted for good this time, yay 🎉

i hate linkedin, i hate performative professionalism, i hate that they hold my account hostage by threatening to delete the nice things i said about other people on there if i go
but
will a future employer go "where is your linkedin" like "what's this gap on your resume"
the coin is spinning on the table but starting to feel like it's gonna land on "delete" this time heh heh heh
just deal with it, future me

sourcecode jerk (pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website)'s status on Thursday, 08-Jun-2023 12:58:58 JST sourcecode jerk the tiny bit of assembly programming i've done was in x86 and mips at uni
it was a fun challenge and interesting to have all abstraction removed like no room for any magic here
but mostly, it felt like a chore
manually managing the stack and registers when you know that pretty much all higher-level languages were invented to save the programmer from this tedium, and c compilers these days outperform the best handwritten assembly, ugh 😩
