Not me torn in a dilemma (trilemma?) between learning all I can about type theory and FP, doing low-level OS, embedded type stuff, and trying to actually improve the linux desktop user scene.
Oh, the misery!

Turns out gnome portal as default hijacks notifs and tries to use gnome-shell to show them and I need to add an exception for that in portals.conf; well atleast it works now.
Gotta love xdg-desktop-portal being weird
default=gnome => notifs don't work
default=gtk => literally nothing works
Wow man wow
default=gnome => notifs don't work

this is something ive been crying about in therapy lately. i love technology and sci fi and futuristic stuff. but the capital maximizer machine has infected so much with its enshittification. im genuinely grieving a passion ripped away from me.
It makes me sad too because growing up, I loved futurism. I loved tech. I pretty much existed solely online due to my own identity and living in South Louisiana. Stories of sentient AI, space travel, singularity resonated with me.
But they've ruined it all and made it the bad place.

You can add a hashbang #!/usr/bin/env -S cargo -Zscript to a Rust source file and execute it like a script. It's unwieldy as a scripting language, but it's always nice to have a quick way to run code in a compile systems language like this.

This is also such a generic scene with high school physics as well, so much so that even top olympiads don't capture more of the formal physics students do in uni.
I was sad that I didn't take physics instead of cs, but after one course in physics here it turned to immense happiness.

Idk why anyone in the OS community takes his book seriously, I find it to be a joke and a self-yap
Can't find the link to the conversation.

Imho, ignoring theory is sometimes needed, if not at the very least because code needs to run on actual hardware, and not just a proof checker all the time (as quite a number of math+FP bros like to think).

I was actually interested, but now I just think the author had no idea how malloc works internally.

Turns out there's undertones of emotional avoidance and selective dementia as a coping mechanism. I also had undiagnosed autism and adhd (something I always suspected).
Wow....
Wow....
Apparently, this warrants seeking medical help from a professional. Interesting....
I wish I could go back to being a child... I'd do so many things so differently...
Is it normal to feel a crippling sense of nostalgia while simultaneously not remembering ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING about your childhood?

If ATProto is to succeed, it must have an 'embrace, extend, extinguish' philosophy towards existing tech giant apps (I know this sounds diabolical but hear me out).
What the current apps have are audience/communities. We need those. So interop is primary. We also need better bridges for activitypub

I long to see a day where ATProto manages to touch the current user base of activitypub, and even exceed it. Where we have decentralized and polished alternatives to every big tech app out there. Activitypub has made much progress in that regard, but atproto could surpass it given how it's better.

when your brain does that thing where suddenly it starts thinking a lot about a specific person really hard and you don't know if it's because of normal "i want to befriend this person" feelings, "i am hyperfixating on this person" adhd feelings, the ol' bpd fp patterns flaring up, or a crush
