How lucky I am to be able to love what I work on, and occasionally work on things I love 
It’s a bit hard for me to consider myself an expert at anything, but it’s really cool to be at least qualified enough to teach various things out of sheer passion, even if I’m not getting paid! And despite the job market being questionable at this time, I find enough beauty in my area of study to learn more and more
attended a lovely event :) got several compliments on the fit, so here’s a drawn fit check!!

How many of y'all are anti/pro generative AI? And why? Would love to find out what the community thinks.
I don’t understand why people hate on the attached bottle caps. Whenever I get one that’s not attached I see it as a huge inconvenience
ok i am back but only because i am desperate to finish this project i am working on and i lowk need help
It’s called
TetraOS
which was a Linux distro I started with an irl friend in 2023 (he was the programmer, i was the designer). it was supposed to be a super user-friendly and customizable OS, and we actually had a few people join to work on it as well. but progress ended up being really slow; we couldn’t get anything done because the people we invited to work on the project just disappeared, and then we got super busy so we kinda just forgot about it a while ago except for a few times we checked in now and then just to make basically 0 progress
the state of the world got me thinking… what if we could finish TetraOS? i mean let’s be real: windows sucks, macos only comes with apple products which are hella expensive, and most people aren’t gonna take the time to set up and use a linux distro even if it was as easy as ubuntu, zorin, or mint.
so my friend and i agreed to start working on it again except we aren’t gonna finish ts until 2030 because it’s just the two of us plus another person i invited and i lowk don’t know how to code at all
SOOOOO i came back here. you guys are programmers probably so i would like some help plz 

comment if u are interested :D
Every time I go over a bump on the parkway I wonder how many times that specific bump has been the last straw that made a person shit themselves
I appreciate posts like these, but I feel like people really need to stop saying stuff like “The year 20__ has been SUCH a hellscape!”, and similar statements. I really think these statements have largely contributed to the wide-scale nihilism and pessimistic view that we’ve had for the last ~8 years. People need to eventually realize that there NEVER has been a year where nothing substantially bad has happened, and there never will be. Mindset is almost everything, and for as long as you only focus on the bad, every year will seem terrible. I still really appreciate these wholesome posts where they highlight the good, but the first sentence still contributes to the problem.
2026 highlights i’ve appreciated thus far:
the movie industry finally locked in especially with the introduction of new IP by youtubers of all people (markiplier/kanepixels)
mojang has locked tf in in a turn of events that may even bring a new minecraft wave (p2p!!!)
microtonal math rock (AdP ftw) broke free from containment and has reached a mass audience which will hopefully give us a musical revolution to stir the music pot
tom scott hath returned (letsgo)
minimalism is getting out of fashion which may lead to a new and awesome design era 

apple got a new ceo who looks promising so we may get some more experimental apple products which could be cool
the existence of scientology speedruns is hilarious
