Father of twin demon spawn, husband, 30+ year programmer, graphic design artist, gamer, mid-left-wing-liberal-democrat. Sorry, I don't "follow for follow". Too much to clutter my feed and I don't have time to sift through the nonsense.

Migrating from X/Twitter so for those who don't know me from there I'm a #programmer (30+ yrs) & post mostly about programming stuff (but not only). If you're interested in my #software lots of my public work is at
github.com/Lateralus138...
#programming #cpp #Autohotkey #python Windows & Linux.

DADDY of twin demon spawn! Older school (30+ years) overall (hard & soft) com tech & gamer, Win, Linux, & even Apple. I guess you could call me a "hobbyist" - Lateralus138

Really wish there was a desktop app version of #godbolt Compiler Explorer and that it wasn't written in JS. I CANNOT STAND using software in a web browser. This plague has to end. SMFH. #software #programming rant

This #NoKings is nonsense. The people who need to hear and heed the words are not listening nor would your words carry weight with them if they were. They only speak one language: "DEPARTMENT OF WAR". This is not a call to violence nor do a I condone such behavior, but this is not working.

Dear #app #devs, if you don't have a lifetime license then I have no use for your #software /app/service. Sincerely, a fellow developer.

Then my message was for those in the back :D

Is this this /s[atire|arcasm]? Hard to tell anymore, Poe's Law and all. I assume so, but if not: If You Know, You Know... Just in case. And I'm a proud filthy degenerate BTW (By The Way :p) /s.

Created a patcher for "...illegal items..." check removal in #Diablo HD (Belzebub) tonight. Especially useful for creating #game trainers. Will release it on GitHub soon. This screen shows that I duped gold and it persisted on cell move.

"Everything is a #webapp" is starting make me sick to my stomach & make me work exponentially harder. I don't need to be baby sat with a sandboxed app for every damn thing & I definitely don't want to use a fucking browser for "software". Anytime I need real software I HAVE TO write it myself. #rant

Come check out Creation Nation #Minecraft Java server! I've been there for over 3 years. It's a Towny/Economy/Jobs/MCMMO server with a small, but helpful community. Yes, there are ranks, but it's not PTW, ranks just give slight conveniences, but doesn't upset the economy.

Not a bad thing to rewatch :D Only seen you were on here because of the scrolled text on your re-upload. Love your reactions, I have commented on your videos several times throughout the years as Lateralus138 :)

So, we're at a point at which if we speak halfway intelligently and use fairly proper grammar then we are considered and accused of being an "AI Bot". Younger people can't even use full sentences nor explain things in detail (communication) today.
#technology nonsense &the dumbing down of a planet.

If you use large hosts files in #Windows and have trouble with the DNS Cache slowing down or completely stopping your internet/system then you can compress the hosts file and gain control back. I have written a tool to do so.

Anyone?

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Aug 6

Could could someone illuminate me on the implications of being in these files? I hate Trump, but being associated with Epstein does not automatically equate to guilt does it? Some of Epstein's associations were legit business dealings, no?

Good thing I rarely use Gmail... Unfortunately we're forced to use it for the Google Play Store, but other than that... never used it.

I will not "follow-for-follow" (or star-for-star or whatever) on any platform. #github eventually fell into this nonsense as well & it's annoying af. People actually message you pissed off that you didn't star their ridiculous calculator webapp just because they starred yours or followed you. FO.

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Jul 18

Not gonna lie, that actually actually looks like it would be good af.

And now #mrrobot is using Putty and Nano? Come tf on. #hacker my a$$. I don't why I torture myself like this...

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Jul 17

Watching #mrrobot and this shish is just hard to digest lol The creator says he was tired of #hacker movies and shows not being realistic and yet while some of it is close, half of this is nonsense. No real "hacker" is using Kali lol and definitely not going to own an Apple product.

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Jul 16

All of the posting on here about right-wing trash is pointless. There are very few right wingers here and it falls on deaf ears for those that are here. Most of us left-wingers know what kind of trash they are. Not to mention that talking isn't getting anything done. You speak, they laugh.

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Jul 14

Some of us still use forums on the rare occasions we need help. Hell, I hadn't even heard of SO until years after it came out and even then I never used it (directly). Of course I'm still stuck in my old ways (although I no longer use email chains like I did in the 90s).

Ian Alan Pride @thefluxapex.bsky.social · Jul 12

Been playing #sable. Beautiful and captivating #game. I haven't been this enthralled by a game in years.

Watching a so-called #hacker / #cybersecurity "expert" on #mrrobot use an IPhone lol. WTF
