  • The versions still make me reluctant to try rust. I’m sure it’s reliable in theory but I’m always getting cockblocked when someone’s python project doesn’t work because of dependencies and different versions. I once remade a python 3d object format converter in c++ because that was easier than a) fixing whatever dependency and runtime version shenanigans or b) using whatever bullshit ass Windows-only propriety software most people used to make that file conversion



  • Tech paranoid all the way, although not the same type of tech paranoid as Luke Smith. The only good computer is one you have the hardware schematics to (i.e. virtually none of them). Thinkpads are just another brand of overpriced laptop. Besides the occasional steam game, I heavily prefer FOSS only and will flat out refuse almost anything that has drm. My unlocked bootloader android phone is so heavily locked down with privacy stuff that I cause Google to lose money merely by existing.


  • What at-home stuff can you do to maintain your teeth? Brushing and flossing twice a day just doesn’t cut it. Brown stuff still eventually builds up around the edges and right above the gum line (although it does take quite a few years). Being obsessive about dental hygiene only delays the buildup and is not sustainable on its own. I may be able to afford dentist appointments now but by the way society is headed, that may not be the case 10 years from now or even next month.
