 the trick is to have a whole bunch of projects so everyone has a different one
 downloaded on their phone, meaning they can't inter-operate when the time is
 right.
 
 much better, I think, to think in terms of protocols. things like http and pgp
 encryption. file-server over bluetooth sending emails through a mesh maybe? or
 something more immediate for messages.
 
 like... calculate a path to your target, then for each step create an
 encrypted portion and a small "destination" header that is then encrypted so
 the next guy in the chain can't see it.
 
 ... there's a lot of problems to solve, but using tried-and-true technology in
 the unfortunately busted and constrained platforms they give us is difficult.
 but not impossible, if you're willing to use tools to create protocols that
 are commonly shared, like bluetooth or http or pgp encryption.
 
 ... I use Briar for this purpose, for what it's worth. idk if it's a protocol,
 I haven't looked into it since I downloaded it during the BLM protests.

 the reason you start with a game engine is because then you'll have tools to
 make however-many games you want. Tools that you know intimately enough that
 you can debug and improve them without breaking your creative flow by learning
 something new halfway through a project
 
 the whole point of individualized projects instead of viewing each computer as
 a complete and total whole (why do we need servers again?) is that you can
 paint a picture of where the design of the program is intended to go, such
 that all the considerations are in place and whatever issues or struggles you
 might face along the way are adequately addresssed, -- stack overflow --
 [because I mistyped addressed] -- -- if you know what "stack overflow" means
 you have intimate knowledge of the technology, and can probably guess what it

 why not make a unified fediverse identity that can post on whatever instance
 it wants?
 
 ... hmmm could be accomplished with a layer of abstraction. You could use a
 "fediverse client" software to enter text into an HTML page which would have
 it's own UI and stuff and would organize your accounts and instances such that
 you could mark like, 3-7 as places you'd like to put a particular message.
 Then it would just... do it
 
 l m a o spam is gonna get sooooo much worse before it gets better
 
 but trust me, we'll figure it out. And it won't be long, either. It's a
 solvable problem, we just haven't built anything to handle it yet.
 
 ... yet...

 the most important skill I can think of for a linux software engineer is the
 ability to connect multiple systems together and turn windows and macintosh
 devices into Linux devices so that datacenters can be built out of whatever's
 on the around.
 
 there's this programming language I like called Chapel for distributed
 computation computing which is also cool, if you're more of the programming
 type.
 
 networking security I believe often has hardware solutions, so getting the
 crypto-graphy boys and the PCB girls together to work on some jams is a good
 and productively useful gathering of insightful events
 
 "but ritz computers should only be used to solve problems that people have,

 it's practice. you never know when you might need to blend in. really it's
 just useful as discipline, good practice to be in. I think it's okay if we
 reduce our own functionality? actually? sometimes it's good to use different
 email clients. hey do you know how to mathematically encrypt things well
 neither do I because the designers of the computer system decided that wasn't
 a very common usecase I guess.. jmean it's not like they'd spend all that
 computer resources [THEY'RE SO FAST] on thinking about correlations in your
 predicted pathway narratively through life. "ah help I'm in a psyop" haha yeah
 we do those all the time "so uhhhh I guess we'll just talk to people and see
 how they do?" wow okay it's sure nice to be part of a civil government, I

 the neat thing about tech is that it scales really well.
 
 The price of TVs is through the floor, everyone has a smartphone, and
 raspberry pi's are less than 100$
 
 solar panels will be next. Trust.
 
 we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
 point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
 
 the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible
 for infrastructural projects like housing and hospitals.
 
 building a home is hard to do, especially when you make them out of sticks and
 glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.
 
 sunlight, moss, underground, endless in the shade
 
 have I mentioned that the most difficult problem facing mechanical engineers
 at the moment is universal recycling?
 
 I want to work on those kind of problems, not resolving tickets.
 
 nobody even gave me a chance to do them, instead demanding... labor. great.

--- #7 notes/internet-privacy-is-withheld-by-this ---
═══════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Recently, there's been a ton of buzz in the news about internet privacy.
 From the many lawsuits against Facebook, to the rise of Duck Duck Go and the
 creepy nature of apps and IoT devices that listen to your every motion and
 record and transmit endless amounts of data to a central server somewhere to
 be processed. The traditional argument against privacy online is that the
 infrastructure was designed to accomodate rapid adoption of the new tech,
 rather than efficient design for distributed throughput. So we were told to
 accept the minor downsides associated with centralized servers - downsides
 that we neither understood nor truly accepted. Well, the technology has
 advanced to the point that those arguments are no longer valid - we have mesh
 networking and 5g internet access, and now that big tech is in control of the
 industry (wrenching it from the people, I might add) they seek to maintain
 their hold by any means necessary.
 
 Luckily, there is a way out - self hosting.
 
 If we hosted our own email server, then theoretically Gmail couldn't read your
 messages. If we hosted our own social media websites, then theoretically
 big data processing corporations couldn't scrape your personal information
 and distribute it as they please. If we hosted our own videos, software, art,
 and anything else we see fit to use a computer for, then we'd be unshackled
 from the dominion of the silicon valley powers that be. The liberation of the
 computer is the liberation of us all.
 
 The problem, of course, is the difficulty involved.
 
 People are conditioned to desire and only accept a level of accessibility that
 can only be provided by massive corporate think tanks leveraging all the
 marketing prowess that the markets of capital provides. That is to say,
 essentially infinite eyes examining the interactions of man with machine, to
 find the most generally applicable font, color scheme, layout, and style of
 each and every website they host. Every function will be scrutinized to death
 and optimized to extract the most profit while subtely conforming the minds
 of those who use it. This is the era of group think, fake news, and
 journalistic fraud. We have no windows to the outside world that are truly
 and completely untainted by the bias inherent in the system.
 
 A self perpetuating rhythm of continuous dissatisfaction.
 
 But I believe the only person who can truly design a tool is the person who
 the tool is intended to be used by. And by increasing the accessibility of the
 tools themselves, rather than the products of those tools, we can raise the
 tide that lifts all ships - we can put more tools that use less time to use
 and are easier to learn into the hands of as many people as possible. The
 crossbow was originally no more devastating than a longbow, yet it rapidly
 outpaced the latter by reducing it's difficulty curve. The screwdriver is the
 same - stronger joints can be made with nails or traditional joinery, but
 once someone understands how a screwdriver works they can pretty much force
 two pieces of wood to be permanently fixed together without understanding the
 angles of nails or cuts. The capabilities are the same, while ease of access
 increased.
 
 So, to truly liberate the internet, we must develop tools that allow people to
 host their own content as easily, cheaply, and flexibly as possible, while
 being aesthetically pleasing, affordable (free), and accessible to
 as many people as possible - inertia is important, after all. It seems to be
 an insurmountable task, but that's what free and open source software
 developers fight for. Raspberry Pis can host email servers, Mastodon can host
 a facsimile of Twitter, and torrents can be used to exchange any type of file
 to be presented in whatever way the user sees fit. These are all free (or very
 cheap, in the Raspberry Pi's case) and accessible to anyone with access to the
 internet. But they aren't easy. They aren't always flashy. And sometimes it's
 hard to even describe what problem you're trying to solve.
 
 But still you try, because to fail in this fight is to fade from this earth.

 can't stop thinking about a visual programming editor that can be interacted
 with in the same way that people are used to (think chromebooks dragging and
 dropping icons in a web UI) but produces a text-file full of code and all the
 required compilation scripts for any language the user requires...
 
 seriously, programming is not THAT different between the different languages.
 especially the main ones. they're all essentially variables and function calls
 at the end of the day, so why not abstract away all the extra details and
 build something that n00bz can actually use to build things.
 
 I technically could make this but I don't have the bandwidth and I don't think
 it's important really? who can say, the tools tend to co-create the solutions
 in my experience.

 technology in it's abstract form represents the collective growth and breadth
 of human innovation.
 
 so why the heck do we make tech products for non-tech people
 
 like... they should be more like us, and we shouldn't compel ourselves to
 apply ourselves for their benefit. If someone doesn't want to learn Linux then
 maybe they don't need a computer?
 
 something something "chromebooks are good, actually" which is sorta true but
 instead of being a generic thin-client for web servers anywhere in the world
 they should be thin-clients for servers that they intentionally connect to and
 trust
 
 ... oh sorta like a chromebook then?
 
 how about a chromebook with a white-list comprised of friends and family who
 run their own servers...
 
 I don't know if disarming people is the right play. I should add a cursed tag
 to this.

 how about this: a game where you have to enter the amount of time you have to
 play it when you boot it up.
 
 "I want to play for an hour and a half"
 
 after your allotted time, you get kicked off and it won't restart unless you
 use a password.
 
 It's a trifle of a gesture, really just an affectation of a task, like using a
 -f flag in Linux or saying "are you sure u want to delete these files?" on an
 application.
 
 Funny how the most tech that most people interact with most of the time is
 their phone, and their smart TV. Generally that's about it, and they only use
 one or two apps in their phone. They might change the background, if they're
 the artistic type, but most people are just fine with the defaults.
 
 "Uh yeah I think the settings app is somewhere around here... darn it's always
 so frustrating when I'm connecting to wifi, what is the tech industry even
 doing? I don't want to deal with [opening a menu, selecting
 "wifi/connections", picking the SSID, entering the password, and then going
 back to uber eats]"

 @user-1461 
 
 my issue is that I've never really had project-mates. Every time I try nobody
 will work with me. I applied to like, fifty different jobs, and nobody
 interviewed me! Sheesh, guess they don't want me. FIFTY JOBS. Entry level.
 Beginner programmer.
 
 ah well. I guess they confused someone who would work for 40,000$ per year
 with someone who was 1/3rd as useful as someone who deserved 120,000$ per year.
 
 I'd love to get experience. I'm sure I'd feel significantly differently with
 as much. Perhaps I'd even decide that programming professionally isn't for me,
 which would feel... quite defeating
 
 who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I will say my time
 in hardware taught me that I'm fragile and can't work too much. Like a scalpel
 that dulls when used consistently, I am a scalpel that gets no practice... Is
 that really useful at all? who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it.
 Though I do like writing logical machines. Laying out data. Picturing
 structures.

 the kind of friendship where you SSH into each other's systems and leave notes
 for one another.
 
 as soon as you find one you message the person who left it like "yoooo only
 just found this lol" and they're like oooo yeah did you see the bash script I
 wrote in that directory "yeah totally I used it on one of my video files just
 now - cool filter!"
 
 ahhhh reminds me of all the times hackers have hacked my permanently insecure
 system and left me friendly messages like "hey I'm on your side" or "how's
 life, friend? I hope it's going well." or "never forget; you are worth all the
 fear" y'know cute things like that
 
 oh. right. because leaving vulnerabilities like that can lead to threat actors
 affecting your stuff. how lame.
