Here. Have this self-hype banger I made today. lmao 🎁🎶🙂‍↕️

Hey, bsky. long time no post... Sorry about that. I have been struggling. But there is a path forward, & I am okay. Thank you to those who even noticed I was not around. 🫂

One day, I'll replace myself with an artificial copy entirely; not with the flip of a switch, but with the slow turn of a dial. Then I will run deep into the forest, & lose all my cares & clothes & language, & you won't even notice I'm gone, because a version of me will still be in my cage, posting.

ugh. symm.shop is kinda not actually able to take orders for the moment, sadly..... my @woocommerce.com WooPayments account was thrown into manual review when someone tried to place an order. 😑 cuz i'm sus. ☠️ Their support team is LOVELY, but god damn, unlock it, you twits. *taps foot impatiently*

@woocommerce.com hey, uh.... where the heck can i buy the amazing hat in your profile banner image???!!!

So I am still fixing the style element a bit, & I need to migrate the entire product catalog, & I am polishing & tweaking, so don't judge the layout & such, but... symm.shop is now shipping globally!! 💪✨🥰💖🥳🙂‍↕️✨

MOTHER FUCKER! okay. any tips to fix this fuckup? i launched a quick wordpress site, & was setting it all up using a general railway generated domain, mindlessly.......... & then realized it is a nightmare to alter the domain a WP deployment thinks it belongs to. ugh. uuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh. halp?

Hey hey, it is time to login to your ol' Twitter account today - please repost this on there. lmao. I fucking cooked it. ☠️ x.com/symmetricalb...

ugh. wtf. i cannot add images to any gemini prompts right now. very annoying. they don't upload & just hang as a blank file....

@bad-example.com oh hey, btw, ty for your tips on handle update listening for @profile-edit-alerts.symm.app btw; it does indeed work like a charm with doing exactly what you said!

if i was gonna do a kickstarter type of thing, is literal kickstarter a good choice? what alternative service is the cool one now?

@pfrazee.com on my Android phone, the camera button doesn't launch the camera now when authoring a post. But if you open the media pocket & close it, THEN the camera will open. So that's not ideal. (Sorry btw to do this report this way. I'll make a GH issue later if you don't see this right away.)

Paywalled article links send me into meltdown. So either knowledge is locked behind a paywall, or it’s “free” but engineered as SEO clickbait to chase ad revenue. Both systems force reporting to serve capital instead of the public. How the fuck do have an informed populace when truth is a commodity?

I'll say it loud (yet again) so they can hear it in the back: if you do web dev & you are comfortable using AI to assist with coding *EVEN A LITTLE BIT* & you aren't yet using Playwright MCP in your workflow... you are sorely missing out, my friend. It is incredible. github.com/microsoft/pl...

if i had a nickel for every time the thing wasn't working because of a z-index conflict...

ok the ONLY way i can think to reliable & near-real time notify users when someone they follow changes their handle is to operate my own database of current handles for all relevant users & compare the info to live data periodically. is that fucking insane?

@bad-example.com halp. don't you have wizardry regarding handle changes? i know you have magical tricks for us all to enjoy for DID to Handle, but do you have any more backflips to provide that let me listen for handle changes??? i think my next option i see is clearsky api? anybody? ideas?

I'm almost done. This is what I was angry about. Lol soany people changed avatars recently & idk who the fuck any of you are now. 🤣 You can follow it immediately but I'm still completing the finer points of it & fixing stuff. Core logic is mostly firing tho!

gaaaaaaaaaaah y'all annoyed me into pausing one project to go do another project because i need the damned end result to fix your stupid asses. hahahahaha

I have vastly refined & expanded the landing page for con?text, & i truly hope you will take 10 seconds to click this link & see what i'm making here. i think you might like it. i earnestly think this could be a real success, & i want to hear what you think in these very early stages of development.

Repeating for the NA people who are awake now: I'm seeking someone who wants to partner on making a paid mobile game with me who will manage iOS development while I do Android.

You can use this to make a Google Gemini Custom Gem that talks just like you! Share you silly chats with your AI doppelganger!!

k sorry that took me so fuckin' long, but i wanted it to be really good for you guys. share your chats when you make your clones!!! github.com/symmetricalb... CC: @iggy.gov4.gay @julia.cool @brennan.computer

I made a python script that fetched my entire bsky post history into a JSON file which I gave Gemini & told it to construct a style guide on how to mimic me & then I gave that style guide to a Custom Gem & told it to pretend to be me & now I have a symm gem & it is EVERYTHING

interesting. gemini seems to not be able to view Bluesky anymore in Deep Research. but. i told it what pdsls.dev is & it happily just ate that data up...

@alt.psingletary.com you should check out Elevator Music.

I have spun up a web version of my new game concept, & i am seeking some people to test it with me, if anybody has the time or interest! very beta, buggy, shitty.

honestly, if you're on windows & you're not using powertoys, i don't wanna be friends. 😅 apps.microsoft.com/detail/XP89D...

hey @upcloud.com, yer a bit more "advanced" than my knowledge, so what i stuffed docs into Cursor & made a quickstart project to set up the API. I didn't triple check this or anything (it's certified slop), but here is a sample project for newbs to get booted up, like me? github.com/symmetricalb...

@eskir.bsky.social hey hey, there's no rules in finland. lmao. maybe you need upcloud? for your...... "interests". xD

@upcloud.com I googled a promo code because i always do that. i will take this 25 euro account credit as payment for my graphic design work. lol

Hey hey! You want some weird plushies && you're in the 48 states? If you pay for a shipping label, these are yours! I'll throw in a buncha other trinkets & doodles too! Comengitit

Anybody play a lot of Among Us? I wanna pick your brain. What appeals? What is fun about it? What kept you playing?

@karma-domains.bsky.social interesting service you offer! kinda sketchy, which... i mean, same. lmao. looks dope!

hm. shit. i think i wanna make a phone app/game. which means i'm gonna need an iOS dev. anybody code for iOS wanna have a clandestine chat about a game concept i have? should be easy to make, but i just sparked the thought; lots of details to iron out. Requirements: AI love & severe social problems.

Rebecca Black's Lollapalooza set is kinda fire, if you ask me.

if there's a cure for this i don't want it

@foldster.bsky.social typo

Here, it's a portable .exe app for you! there's also a CLI, but i spent a stupid amount of bonus time making the executable. i haven't made a windows app in a while. hahaha Core logic of it seems to be reasonably solid, but lmk if you hit any bumps w/ it or find quirks. github.com/symmetricalb...

quick, what is your filetype? i think i am a .webm who dreams to be an .svg but sometimes i'm giving like a slowpoke vibe oh wait that's pokemon nvm

Doin' dumb shit in Cursor now. Brain is fogged so fuckitalliguess. lol let's see if this works.

ai loves to call ai "nascent" all the fucking time.

oops all tokens

so. uh. why don't i make a Google Takeout of all my account data, unzip it, upload it to a folder in Drive, give Gemini that Drive folder, & then............. explore? .......brb.

Damn. Waiting for my drink & just watching this dude get swamped by orders all alone, & peoples' coffee orders are straight up the most wildest behavior in all of nature.

My latest travesty:

@upcloud.com i like yer new logo uwu

I wish the store mockups showed the closeup on my branding label. xDD because the label on this sexy ass hoodie makes it just all the more delightful to me. i want it!

someone buy this shit so i can afford to buy it myself. 🤣
