just realised one thing...

'tis gonna be a long toot ig cuz gonna write abt a few things related.

like ok am familiar with all that machine learning stuff, even generative models and llms, i know how it works and can code such a thing without chatgpt api n such. this is why i despise this whole thing and i refuse to call it "ai" cuz it is not. basically the technologies with machine learning could be fr used for good, but when u give the ruling elites a tool (even a knife) - instead of helping people (like cutting bread in equal pieces for everyone) they will just stub the poor to death. like if they dont depend on us, bitches.
i almost quit programming tbh, when was studying it all. cuz started to despise modern tech field, started to despise everything. 'tis cool tools used for scam, 'tis like that fuckass Frankenstein who made a monster out of a creature who wasnt meant to be a monster. 'tis not even a full creature - 'tis a muscle twitching while being just a cut-off limb used by mad scientists. i despise it so fucking much it makes me nauseous. cuz i love tech, i love programming, i love algorithms, i love people. i dont want any of them being tortured and exploited, especially when algorithms could improve people's lives. for the current timeline i would recommend none of this fake bullshit they call "ai". we cant allow such technologies to be in use while there are the ruling elites n capitalism all over.

so, the thing that i realised? that am not gonna have any personal llm on my PC. like, it can handle such stuff, all in all i studied it on this same laptop. but then, i just... dont want to use its resources to make such a thing. 'tis making me kinda sad, really. like, the fuck?? am not creating personal algorithms that could be consuming too many resources on my PC when the bitches in charge of this planet are literally killing our planet to scam people. it horrifies me. what kind of a fucked up mindset a person must have.

for the record, i thought about creating science-related algorithms for my own use with my own data, but i doubt i ever will - cuz i dont wanna overwhelm my machine in any way at all n i cant stop feeling disturbing stuff about the whole thing in general. cuz basically it would be overwhelming my machine for my own projects with chemistry n stuff, nothing useful or nothing i wouldnt be able to compute myself on paper. aye, i treasure my PC cuz am aware i will not be able to afford any other in prolly next few decades if 'tis not my last machine at all. all thanks to the ruling elites, as always.
and i love it anyway, i have no desire to make it ovework. lmao my dream is to take old PCs from trash and make them alive again, am that sensitive about tech.

fucked up pixel art today again, prolly gonna quit it for a while even bc it tortures me n i fr just plain suck at it. like, even the so-called 'programmer art'. mine's just crappy n no cute at all. will try to think how to convert that game into non-pixel stuff bc i dumbly coded like ~50-fucking-% of it already bc coding is a breeze compared to creating pixel assets in my case. n for non-pixel stuuf all my pre-defined n pre-calculated shit's just not gonna work mostly plus i prolly will rework the whole UI as well. well, no one prepared me that for my asshole brain the hardest part of gamedev will be these fuckign teeny tiny pixel assets, nightmare!

Going to the cinema, putting my phone away, and watching a movie with no distractions? I wish it was that easy.

Where is the silent mode button? Or: Going to the movies—a study in anxiety

Going to the cinema, putting my phone away, and watching a movie with no distractions? I wish it was that easy.

The business world is crafted to make any indie/DIY online business task frustratingly near-impossible. I'm very stubborn though. Setting up in-app USPS API shipping, for example. Yeah, I could use third-party, but f*ck those money-skimming data whores. 2 mos. of bureaucracy & I'm almost there. I'd like to congratulate USPS on not being rife with AI chat bots that get nothing accomplished. I actually email back & forth with flesh & blood people. Hooray! #techrant #indie #smallbusiness

POV: It's 2 am. Windows decides NOW is update time. You didn't ask. You set Active Hours. Doesn't matter.

"We'll restart in 15 minutes."

Prolly first ever angry public toot but am so frigging INFURIATED!

Just saw a "bug report", not related to me personally anyhow.Just saw it on the internet. I will not point out at where n who n etc because it is inappropriate, so lemme just fucking burn about all such situations in general.

Currently am feeling less pacifistic n at the verge of accepting the worldview of those who suggest harmful stuff to users on reddit (will never accept it tho, users of FOSS systems must be protected if they arent arses, newbies especially must be protected).

Well, the "report" was about the program making the user "discouraged" and that because of it lagging after update they cant finish their projects in time and just a shitload of other highly disrespectful stuff. The user is on Windows.
And as much as am tolerant to Win and Mac users because I tend to pity them, I'm kinda starting to HATE.
Bitch. BITCH. Go and fucking download another version that will work for your abomination of a crippled system. Be fucking polite. You get these incredible tools and apps for fucking FREE as in free beer, YOU FUCKING GODDAMNED BITCH. SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR DISRESPECTFUL REPORTS OR GO CODE SUCH A TOOL FROM SCRATCH ON YOUR FUCKASS WINDOWS. HOPE YOU'LL SHIT YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS BEFORE WINDOWS DOES IT FOR YOU BOTH. BITCH.

Fr never felt SO goddamn infuriated by some random shite on the internet but i just fucking cant, saw this crap and somehow momentarily got angered to the utmost levels.

Starting to think that maybe just MAYBE it should be really better and nature-healing to just plain fucking boycott Windows users (and Apple adorers included) so they fuck with their shit themselves.

My relationship w/Odoo is tumultuous. He's needy & there's times when we have problems & can't find the right words to articulate the problem. I find plenty of bad relationship advice online from other broken-hearted, frustrated users. Sometimes there are success stories and I'm jealous. We can be at odds for days and days, and it's utter hell. And then finally I find the right thing to ask & he opens up & we fall in love again. Unfortunately, no makeup sex.
