Did I just figure out QR codes on a text only receipt printer?

Codes. This one for example 9ACHJKSXN3. Imagine having a bunch of those randomly generated codes marking a bunch of stuff in your inventory or something. Imagine needing to constantly type those in every-time you do something with those things in the inventory. Imagine you have to do that on a fucking touch-screen, on a broken Gnome screen-keyboard, on a slow ass device not meant for running Gnome. QR codes sounds like a very good idea. But there is another problem. You need to print those. You need to print those fast and cheaply. You can't draw them. And the receipt printer is not even working. So... did I do that?

Some time ago I wrote an article about fighting the WhatsApp monopoly via my work-place. In that article I explained how I managed to make a simple matrix-to-whatsapp bridge thingie that makes it possible for me ( a Free Software user ) to communicate with people on the WhatsApp side of things. And how I made it specifically to advertise matrix to the WhatsApp useds. But... that was just a simple tiny little program that barely works. This... on the other hand... this, is much bigger. This is probably a little bit insane. So buckle up...

Do rich people misunderstand what we all want, because they are rich?

Remember this situation: Mark Zuckerberg in court asked about his surveillance technology, tries desperately to make an argument that being spied on is good actually, because they can shove more personally relevant ads down people's throats. Like come on man... how do you want this to be a good argument? But you think about it and realize: he is fucking rich. He might actually have a huge issue with what to buy. For him a system that learns what he likes and suggests what to spend his money on, is a system that solves his problem.

June and John is Luc being Besson with a smartphone

It was nice to take a short break from the grind of trying to make CGI stuff all day long and watch a movie. And who could be a better film-maker to casually enjoy, but Luc Besson, who after all these reviews I did of his films, I start to feel like I understand, similarly to how a therapist might understand his client? His 2025 low budget film June and John is undeniably Luc Besson, even if the fact that the film was largely shot on a smartphone makes it look kind of weird and slightly amateurish.

In Florida Moms For Liberty together with the governor Ron DeSantis are fighting against the woke. Or as a different group of Moms pointed out, they are practicing fascism in a supposedly Free Country. The situation is hilarious!
