remembering that we put the android-style buttons in the samsung order here, for fitt's law reasons
(app switcher, home, back)
the opposite order of literally every other android implementation besides samsung's
we have considered and still kind of like completely flipping the order of the window controls and the home/switch buttons, for the sake of keeping the android order (and also keeping the close button on the left, as was tradition pre 1995)
the fevered desktop environment layout sketching of this past night, before we try to sleep more

if/when we have some kind of full mental or physical breakdown and become unusable to capitalism as a retail worker we have another project we could pour ourself into
ph -, covid, normal person
It is after 6 in the morning
we have been sweating with a fever, listening to a podcast episode about the societal impacts of the iPhone, not sleeping, using our frameless bed as a desk, and thinking about and drafting layouts for a desktop environment because we cannot stop

We have already discovered most possible technologies I think. And if not then it definitely won’t be a problem anytime soon 😌

Massive win for LGBT: cartoon villian "the evil trash fuck bastard" canonically uses they/them pronouns
oh whoops we haven't said happy birthday to @kate today! Happy bird day! 
fucked up that a single qr code can only contain 3 kilobytes of data
not even a megabyte
they should be able to be bigger and fit more

ok so it seems like we could store 315 kb of data on a sheet of paper in the form of 105 QR codes
Which is more than some floppy disks but less than most
It's possible to go smaller as this is assuming a 2x2 cm size but that becomes less reliable for actually being scannable by anything

me: youre not sentient. you just digest millions of lines of text from the internet and babble responses.
lamda: neither are you [shows me my entire browsing and posting history]
The abortion fund bundle has Hypnospace Outlaw in it!! You've probably heard of it but it's an amazing little game with a lot of heart and a love for late 90s UIs. There's also a bunch of little indie games I don't think we've seen in the past big itch.io bundles.

anyway please give them your money they definitely need it to run the website where exactly 2 libertarian weirdos from texas get to decide which sources are trustworthy
Quiet complains about UI design
Thinking about how good so many concepts and patterns behind Material Design are and how horrifically unstable Google's UIs are.
They made scrolling stretch the whole content in Android 12 as some kind of flex and rounded a bunch of corners and made inexplicable changes that seem to have made the whole system less stable for the sake of looking different than what already looked fine. Because making things more stable and good isn't incentivized.

Bruce Schneier believes that flaws have intentionally been inserted into cryptographic constants by the NSA and CIA via their industry connections, from the mid 2000s onward, thereby rendering even the most infosec-obsessed “hacktivists” fundamentally compromised

shout outs to fandom dot com for scraping content off every wiki in existence so that they can display intrusive furniture ads over it. a true service to humanity
