the thing is like public health child literacy civil rights social justice rural poverty once you personally have become rich and successful, those things only matter if you still have the capacity to care deeply about people outside your immediate circle and that is harder than becoming rich

I'm optimistic that AI might actually improve some level of security in the long-term. A basic sonnet security audit in less than five minutes could have figured this out: hhh.hn/hanwha-githu...

I do a lot of timelapses. I used to use Adobe software, then I transitioned to scripting ffmpeg. This weekend I decided to build a basic desktop app that automates the common things I want ffmpeg to do: blittle.github.io/railtrack/ Check it out if you do panning timelapses or star trails.
RailTrack — 4K timelapses with a windowed pan & star trails
RailTrack turns a folder of large photos into a 4K or vertical timelapse, with a smooth windowed pan, star-trail stacking, denoise, and fast previews.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
Cloudflare and Github on the same day...what am I to do with myself?

Tech companies are potentially as dangerous to western economic security as China, and governments are struggling in the same way to balance the potential economic upsides with the threats.

The issue is devs using MacOS with hidden scrollbars. If you're a web dev, your scrollbars need to be set to "always visible".
