i'm very internally conflicted with generative AI - it's incredibly impressive tech that has the potential to launch us into utopia, but also can break the economy and hurt the planet in the short term, and kill us all in the long term. or the bubble could burst and plunge us into a global recession

Modern Desktop Suite | Dank Linux A modern Linux desktop suite with beautiful widgets and powerful monitoring - optimized for niri, Hyprland, MangoWC, dwl, and Sway.

switched over my arch (btw) linux install to using danklinux.com with niri! it's a very polished experience and i can definitely recommend it over the half-baked cobbled-together config I was using before ๐Ÿ˜ญ

today was day 1/10 of the last 10 days of the year, wow. got a lot done for carden! made some tweaks to card infra (switched from dicts to classes for storing card data), drew a much better farm sprite, and made cards actually do stuff!

did some pentesting on a vibe-coded site (the admin panel has no backend validation ๐Ÿ’€) and made some nice infra for cards in my mini game! now it's much easier to add different kinds of cards with their own effects

locked in on AoC! managed to submit a better day 3 part 2 solution, and then worked on day 4! it was fun, but i ran into many strange quirks of Python. i did manage to solve it though! spent the rest of my time on rustlings :3
