I taught myself programming as a 13-year-old to make Minecraft mods. My dad works in construction, my mother in childcare. "Computer class" at school included "how to use Word 2008" I did this myself. I can't help but wonder if a more restricted internet would ever allow for such self-development.

okay but consider: sqlite shell history search and it sync shell history between your machines via iroh

this isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again

i do want to use nixos more but it's just unreal how basically unusably bugged so many things are and then i use fedora and none of those issues that drove me crazy even exist

tbh herdr has finally made terminal multiplexers *work* for me + i use neovim now so I think I could probably just get a 15" macbook air and be super happy as long as it wasn't running macos

tbh I forgot appa actually just fucking works and have been using it for several days across three machines lol

has such a concept of “ethical tech recruiting” ever been tried bc I’ve had less humiliating experiences for restaurant jobs
