Haven't posted a song in a while, so: here's "Arcade"! This is an older track I kinda neglected over the years after initially making it, so I just wanted to put it out there. Enjoy :neocat_happy: https://soundcloud.com/codecatt/arcade #hardcore #frenchcore #music

The 15 minute visit from the bathroom renovation guy to measure our bathroom is in reality a full day of mentally preparing for the guy to come followed by the rest of the day recovering from it :neocat_laugh_nervous: :neocat_laugh_nervous: :neocat_laugh_nervous: #actuallyautistic

What fediverse client are people using nowadays on iOS? Currently still using Ivory, but not sure I have the spending to keep paying for it :(

I'm increasingly getting interested in making pixel art.. wonder how long I can keep that hyper-focus going

"AI" as we use the term today is a construct built on fascist ideas and reasoning. In order to fight fascism we need to get rid of those patterns, not normalize them. (Original title: AI as a Fascist Artifact) https://tante.cc/2026/04/21/ai-as-a-fascist-artifact/

Made a "Forgejo Refined", inspired by its Github counterpart. Some of these features I don't see being implemented into Forgejo itself any time soon, so for now this will make it a bit nicer to use for me personally 😅 https://codeberg.org/codecat/forgejo-refined #forgejo #codeberg

alright here we go https://codeberg.org/keepasschi (linked post)

Ugh I keep having to restart Visual Studio every 30 minutes because it keeps lagging out. This has been an issue in Visual Studio for many years now, it's so frustrating :( I keep looking at Rider as a potential replacement IDE, but that also has so many of its own issues. :/

I think it’s appropriate to be wearing my #artemis shirt today 👀

Im not good at promoting myself so this #tdov im just gonna chill and hope the world becomes a nicer place soon. Also follow me maybe, im trying to do work that I think is important and could use more eyes on it 🥺

Hello #accessibility and #screenreader friends! Does anyone *really* use Windows Narrator? I feel like it has too many issues to be worth it. NVDA is so much better, isn't it?

Apparently today is musicians day, and hey I am one of those! 👀 I make music as Missterious under different genres, but mainly focusing on Hard Dance music (Hardstyle, Hardcore, and Frenchcore). 🎵 But I have also made MANY other music styles! Lots of remixes of screaming scammers featured on […]

Wow. Serious Sam has turned 25 years old yesterday: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/41060/view/497223585377551695 The game that started my game development career and practically pushed me to become a better programmer. I even did an in-person internship at Croteam 15 years ago!

RE: https://meow.social/@codecat/116181923762261557 So I did end up writing a quick tool for this yesterday, using Go templates: https://codeberg.org/NimbleTools/sitegen

So has anyone forked systemd yet

New (non-work) blog post! 📝 “Generative AI vegetarianism” https://sboots.ca/2026/03/11/generative-ai-vegetarianism/

Getting to know #bitwig 6 a little bit. There's still some features I'm missing from Ableton, so I'm not sure I can fully switch even with 6, but it's already a lot better :neocat_floof_happy:

Got test coverage of Fire up to 94.2% now 👏 Still looking for people to help test! If you're a Go enthusiast and you're familiar with the "Fiber" framework, Fire is a (mostly) drop-in replacement for it currently in development; only human code 😊 #opensource #golang #noai […]

Switching my editors back to Monokai brings me back to the 2010s :neocat_happy:

I need a static site generator that is not focused around blog posts please :blobcatsadreach:

🔥 Introducing "Fire": a fast web framework for Go! Still in very early development; figured I'd publish it already in case people want to help out early. (Early testing can help out a lot!) 💕 :boost_requested: 👉 https://codeberg.org/gofire/fire #golang #opensource #webdev #codeberg #noai

me: zero energy, want to do nothing *drinks one (1) coffee* I’m gonna do ALL THE THINGS 😬😬😬

Yes, I could use archive.today (and its clones), but its behavior is WAY to sketchy at this point. See https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/

One of the open source projects I was relying on for a bunch of things started heavily using AI for its development. So I did with any sane person would do.. I spent the weekend reimplementing its API from the ground up 🤣 Definitely not mature enough to be released yet, but it’s off to a good […]

Little song I made last night using the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Tubelectric samples :neocat_happy: #music #musicproduction

Just realized most of my posting these days is frustrations about AI. Uhh.. I should really post about something else. Okay here goes

[ai in open source, rant] *sigh* the worst feeling is when you look to update some open source program you've been using and find out they added "claude.md" and "agents.md" files. :( Time to find some other program, I guess.. (Does anyone have an alternative for Super Productivity, or am I […]

What's a good modern CSS framework nowadays that's not absolutely terrible yet simple enough to get started with? #webdev #css

[ai nonsense, visual studio] Dear Visual Studio installer... no. I am not "wasting" time reviewing code, I am spending valuable time reviewing code to make sure it's up to everyone's standards and not some clueless robot's standards. Go away with this junk. :neocat_angry:

Oh no I created a repository on @Codeberg and the whole website immediately goes down :neocat_sad:

This is something new I haven’t really encountered before: completely vibe coded “documentation” websites on modding Hytale. They look like literally every vibe coded website ever and have near to no useful information at all. Very discouraging in actually making mods now too. Hypixel probably […]

Visual Studio tricked me into installing Copilot UGH :neocat_angry:

I like @deno_land's permission system, but their "secure by default" kinda falls apart when all of their Vue examples say "just run vite with deno run -A".. :blobcatsadreach: ("-A" means "allow all", explicitly disabling any of the security you get from Deno)

Him: “hey how does XYZ work” Me: *becomes an unskippable cutscene*

Well, 2025 is coming to an end, so I would like to give programmers a bit of advice for 2026. - The AI bubble is bursting. Quit coding with AI and get your skill back and actually learn and understand what you're doing instead of half-assing your work. (The amount of extremely poorly "written" […]

So what I am learning from Mastodon the last couple weeks is.. I need to go to events like #39c3 because I AM MISSING OUT 😭

Not sure why I decided to do work until 4:30 AM but here we are 🙃

Hot take: the average programmer is bad, and the amount of average programmers is increasing thanks to generative AI. It's so exhausting to deal with other programmers most of the time now... :neocat_sad:

If anyone wants to follow me on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/codecat I hope to be publishing more to it soon 👀

I will ask chat GPT I will boil the last of our drinking water Salt the soil of the scrub-lands Tear the pages from books and feed them to my fire I will ask copilot I will scramble your library maim the faces of your favorite paintings I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams I will ask […]

[PLEASE Stop using Spotify. Use literally anything but Spotify.] Why? • They don't pay musicians https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/confirmed-next-year-tracks-on-spotify-1000-plays/ • They fund right wing extremist podcasters […]

windows: "Windows Update is committed to helping reduce carbon emissions." also windows: hehe i instal copilot for u :3

open source project, 50k github stars *looks inside* awful UX Is it just me or is this pattern getting more common?

Sorry but if your repository has an "agents.md" file I am immediately kinda disgusted

I often see people asking how they can get started learning how to write code. And, even though I've been a professional programmer for the past 15 years or so.. I honestly have no idea? Like, in the world of the modern internet, how DO you learn how to code? I learned from Visual Basic books […]
