I'm Steve, a 37yo programmer in Seattle.

By day I build iOS apps (currently Kickstarter, previously Tumblr and Teams). By night I make VTuber merch with my partner at DokiDreamers.com.

I also do 3D modeling/printing, woodworking, synthesizers, and FFXIV and sim games!

NixOS 25.11 upgrade went okay on the first machine I ran it on, there were a number of failures. My config needed +26 -26 changes plus disabling two packages.

"All the project information/updates/instructions/help are in the Discord" is going to be viewed as a great information disaster in the far future.

I mean, it's a disaster now. But it'll have that legacy.

David Sacks is a lying sack of shit who will take any handout he can get, every single time, and every American should treat him as a conniving, extorting enemy at all times.

Thanks to the Wolf and Moonlight open source projects, I finally have a home game streaming setup I'm happy with. Enshrouded is unplayable on Steam Deck normally, but it's running pretty great here. Lots of games I didnt bother with because of Deck performance. games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/

There are contentions and controversies for various Star Wars movies, but the one thing we all agree on is that Rise of Skywalker belongs dead last.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

You can also hook a TV tuner card to your computer and watch stuff that way, including over a home network. If you have a setup based on Jellyfin or Plex, there are ways to get those video feeds in there.
I’m just thinking of this because I’m watching football while not paying anybody a penny: Do Americans know that you can (still!) watch HD digital broadcasts of all the major networks over the air, for free, complete with programming guide data, just by hooking up an antenna to your TV?

Home office has been made significantly more comfy. That wall had a bunch of standing shelves that were always cluttered. This is already so much more relaxing.

Roku is killing their photo screensaver for absolutely no good reason, and gaslighting their users about the thing they call a replacement. I miss when their product was decent. support.roku.com/article/3607...

When that UPS plane crashed a couple weeks ago after losing an engine on takeoff, I just thought it fell off. Not... this. Yikes. www.ntsb.gov/investigatio...

Note to self: If you get a travel points credit card right before a global pandemic, check the points you've earned some time sooner than 5 years later so you can finally go to Japan, you clown

"Anime" only shows up once in the Epstein emails, and it's only in a description of Edward Snowden.

We got it done. Our union's members are unstoppable. ✊
WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Trying a fanatic pacifist run in #Stellaris, which means you can't declare wars of aggression. Since early Stellaris is a scramble for territory, that means going deep and taking stellar network choke points quickly. Barely got Ophang in time, the other empire was gunning for it.

Back at work after 42 days on strike is weird, and there's a lot to catch up on (oh god what was I working on), but it's so good to have this all behind us.

One of @kickstarterunited.org's founding organizers Clarissa Redwine did a podcast series about how they pulled off unionizing a tech company, if you want to organize yours. kickstarterunited.org/oral-history/

The best time to unionize your job is when times are good. The second best time is now.
