a couple years ago i read a blog post about someone talking about how fragmentation in word processors work, explaining that most word processors started as "this software does only what i need, and will not have X feature that Y has because it's annoying/bloated" [0].

it is great seeing Argentinian software (Pluma) being used outside dedicated forums.

to paraphrase what he said, "instead of K9s, PostgreSQL, Redis, Oauth, WebSocket Gateway, Service Discovert; we're going to use git, html and json", I had a panic attack as soon as I read that.

oof, a ton of them, here are a few that passed my minimum quality standards and made public: a video compression service (inspired by 8mb.video) [0], a music player that gets songs from a specific repository for Geometry Dash [1], a screenshot tool "for crappy OSes" (windows) [2], spaghetti C code that prints "i love you" to stdout [3], more spaghetti code [4], and a speedhack cheat for singleplayer games on Linux [5]

New comment by Jotalea in "Don't Sign in with Google"

Jotalea — Wed, 20 May 2026 11:15:59 +0000

alright, i'll take your point and say that Google is not a viable SSO provider. now what?

sure i could buy a custom domain and host an email server on it, but now i have to care about server maintenance, SSL, and paying yearly for the domain. but that doesn't mean i get to keep it forever! just as Google can, the hosting provider can block my account, or even go down itself. then what? i'd be in the same situation where i'm locked out.

or suppose i don't have money to pay for the domain (which is a rare possibility, but it is not impossible). now someone buys my domain, and registers an email with the same address as mine. now what? i'm screwed!

i agree that having only one centralized login method for all of one's accounts is bad, but this article doesn't provide a safe alternative.

as a Hyprland user, i think the eye candy in kitty is worth the extra memory usage. at least for me, it makes the experience much smoother.

currently considering trying out ratty, a terminal emulator with 3D graphics rendering capabilities.

New comment by Jotalea in "People Hate AI Art"

Jotalea — Wed, 13 May 2026 16:44:36 +0000

i dislike AI-generated images as much as the next guy does.

but saying that "everyone hates AI images" is an exaggeration and outright false. we are a minority.

i will bring up tiktok, the "normie app". on there, an AI-generated series of videos (with a general quality as bad as you might imagine) gained lots of traction and, for one week, it became the fastest growing account. [0]

and "normies" liked it. i can tell you there was plenty of people genuinely watching that shitshow.

i like the concept, but the execution is flawed by design, as it basically allows someone to serve any content (including malware [0]) in whichever domain is being used (nowhr.xyz in this case).

[0] i'm using "malware" as a broad term, while mainly referring to phishing.
