#introductions

Hi I’m warriorstar. I write code and do a bunch of other stuff badly. I like the world and its history and old stuff. I listen to all kinds of music and love to travel.

Say hi, I really am trying to find cool people on here.

I wonder if Music.app is going to be any better in Monterey

I fucking doubt it though

pffffffffffhaahahahaaahahahaha

i still can’t believe NYC just let the rules on alcohol to-go lapse

God I miss octopus pie

Despite being a native English speaker I thought the antonym to “over the counter” was “under the counter” until I was about 15

my video has slightly over 2,000 views which makes me very happy because that’s roughly equivalent to the average number of active SS13 players at any given time

as an engineer your mind is inevitably forced to work with precision and rigor in all walks of life

HN posters post as if they have never built that instinct up, ever, like at all

HOLY SHIT

LinkedIn, the WEBSITE, took over my media control keys when it played a sound notification for an incoming message. now I can just hit play on my keyboard and hear the notification sound over and over again

stop writing software you are bad at it

You can’t pay me enough to give a shit about defending what I already know versus what is waiting to be understood

How can I call myself intelligent when I don’t know what popular or accepted scientific theory could be totally upended tomorrow?

By adding a command pane to Terminal that works the same as VSCode two small teams at Microsoft has inadvertently done more to unify UX than all of Apple altogether over the last 3 years

Managed to put together a great set of mods for GTAV that basically make it so I have to hustle in gang warfare and dealing to make it through the city alive

Gangs in rival territories will shoot on sight and Franklin only starts with a small gang on Strawberry and has to expand out

It fucking rules

the channels that hypergame the youtube algorithm have discovered that videos less than 10 seconds long get all the clicks so the entire site is rapidly becoming “perfectly cut screams” and “cursed vines” and “just actually putting a tweet on the screen and reading it out loud”

the internet collectively needs to stop telling each other to imagine things
