I couldn’t afford the Apple Vision Pro, so I got the Apple Vision Junior instead.

This is an educational system and I earn precisely ZERO from its sales. It's my way to do something about the catastrophic lack of understanding of computers today, which lead to nonsense such as machine consciousness and functionalism. If you know STEM teachers/faculty, please let them know that this exists and is available.

Build small, simple, inspectable programs.

Build them this way so others can understand them; so Future You can fix them, even when you're tired, when the duties of life rest heavily on your aching shoulders, when it would be easier to let the breakage lie.

Build simple things because fulfilling duty and taking responsibility is more important than automation.

I had an amazing time taking in everything at the conference this year. Thanks to @roguelike_con for having me, and to the organizers, volunteers, and speakers for putting on such a great event.

For the first time in years, I spent an hour on Monday evening at one of my favourite bars, writing with my 3mx.

I bought a mug of tea — they don't expect you to drink alcohol — for the same price as I did 19 years ago when I first started going there. £1.10.

I'm not a good writer, but I enjoy it. I enjoy sitting among people doing their thing, paying me no interest, while I empty my brain into a 16 bit handheld.

For the first time in a while, I felt good. Excited. Not anxious. Just me.

Oh hey wow look a tech company launching a vastly improved version of its main hardware product with virtually every part greatly improved, and they did not make a tonedeaf cringe circlejerking infomercial.

I feel like the time of company tech press events has come and gone. With so, so many people even in the west barely getting by financially, with social services stripped left, right, and centre, and the Grand Canyon between rich and poor becoming grander by the month, these presentations where disgustingly rich self-congratulating white dudes tell us how much they raised their prices for shit we don't even really need, while the planet dies around us, wars break out all over the place, and corporatism and fascism rise hand-in-hand, these events feel ever more dystopian, tone-deaf, and plain insulting.
