#introduction Hello! I just realised it's been a while since I made this acct and haven't posted anything so here goes!
I'm Madds, a non binary (they/them), adhd/autistic, disabled, and married human, with a passion for tech, games, art, poetry, and neurodiversity.
I graduate uni in May with a degree in media studies (focusing on experimental and VR media) and minor in Japanese language.
English is my first language, and japanese is good too! I need more practice lol.
Have a great day!
Speaking of, here's that tool: https://codeberg.org/madds/notion-emoji-filter-page-list
I think I'm going to rewrite it to be a little rust program + browser extension to simplify it a lot, but the general idea is there! (Please be kind, I'm not much of a Javascript dev)
Work and Tech, very positive!
One of my favorite things about learning new things all the time for work and fun is documenting it. I'm quickly becoming the documentation fixer at my new job (oh hey yeah I got a job I forgot to post about lmao) and it's wonderful!
Like, so many senior devs don't realize how opaque their docs are for newcomers, so I like being that newcomer who learns just enough to fix it then continues to learn more, it's very rewarding for me.
I also managed to turn the project from "write a simple script to do a thing" into "write a library to make writing the script super easy" so I'll post my odd 'js from a non js dev' library at some point
Tech question because ddg isn't being helpful
Does anyone know of software to use a laptop as a secondary monitor over USB?
Like scrcpy for android but pushing a virtual display from a desktop to a laptop.
Theoretically USB 3.2g1 should be fast enough for a 1080p signal but all the software I know of is for android.
I'm on Linux with Wayland on both ends if it helps
Blockchain, linkedin annoyance
I really wish linkedin would stop sending me "jobs available" postings for the only local crypto game company that has a ton of ppl from my uni working there, it's so horrendous and annoying
Also I'm glad I didn't continue with the CS program if *that's* what comes out of it, oof
apparently there's a general strike planned for next week in response to the supreme court bullshit https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/volunteer
I finally got a laptop after using a chromebook as my only portable non-phone device for 7 years and it has a fabric lid and it's taking every ounce of self control to not iron my meow wolf and ferris patches onto it
I'm not sure how the fabric would handle it, or if I could take it off in the case I have to replace it, so I'm on the fence about it, but it would look so cool
