hello! ok, so.

i made a patreon page to support my work on free software. it's difficult to keep up when you can't afford your own time, so if you'd like to help me make accessible software and can spare some survival dollars, consider becoming a patron. thanks comrades ✊ ❤️

have you thought about unionizing

a numbers station of shitposts

@lordbowlich sounds great! i think that concept hits on a vital advantage that tech-as-a-craft can leverage under capitalism.

> I don't have the skills to pull it off.

i really identify with this. disability, etc., makes it hard. i'm trying to grow into the person i need to be to contribute to these goals ✊

linkfriend's goal is to support distribution of link lists over p2p protocols like Dat, but so far that has been too labor-intensive for me to tackle. once you can distribute link lists and index them, you will be able to use the search feature like a kind of mini-search engine for your corner of the web. i hope someday to deliver that possibility :)

check the readme for more on of linkfriend's roadmap:

@ekaitz_zarraga yay~! ❤️

it’s tragically easy to imagine better tech

@armsdealing next thing you know they'll want to be marrying each other, too!

despite having nothing to do with virtually all software that i encounter, i still feel personally responsible when it sucks ?

NPM is VC-backed which just makes me nervous

the internet depends on people like this

you, a reasonable human being: software is really bad, wow. maybe developers should try harder?

me, a software developer, shivering with anxiety, sublime text open with twelve projects: I M T R Y I N G

i wrote an essay about software patterns and doing social stuff in a p2p environment:

you say: we can't end poverty. it's too expensive.
you mean: billionaires can only exist through human sacrifice.
