hello everyone sorry to be a bother about this again. like usual we have our main bills covered its just making sure we have enough to make sure we have enough food to last us until the end of the month. if you'd like to help out with our food expenses it would be greatly appreciated. i'm fairly certain after this month we'll have things back on track hopefully. i'm an unemployed trans woman who is singlehandedly trying to take care of her father who has parkinson's disease. if you can't donate that's okay i appreciate you took the time to read this

since starting this, I've gotten sued by a credit card company for being unable to pay, and had to pay 700$ due to a delivery fuckup.

Please, if you can donate, it'd really help.

All this to support virtual filesystems in node.js, a feature Tcl/Tk had in 2002. No wonder people resort to LLMs given how basic most programming languages still are.

(It irks me that Tcl was largely abandoned in the name of safety and performance, and yet we replaced it with bloated JS frameworks that have neither and don't do half the things that a <1MB libtcl.so did 2 decades ago).

Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.

"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"

No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.

Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!

Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser

It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

It's more complex than that. They fire workers to reduce operational costs in an attempt to make their P&L look better. Fewer hands mean it's even harder to maintain the revenue, so they look for a force multiplier. And that's where AI comes in with false promises.

Vercel wants to train on your code!! This is so infuriating.

You need to opt out by March 31st or they will use your repos as training data. All hobby plans are opted in by default.

This has stalled, please help if you can.

The second half of the month’s expenses and essential bills is here. More due as of 4 days ago.

Please help us keep a roof over our heads, and keep our cat with us. I’ve had him for nearly 20 years and he really needs me in this phase of his life.
