we need metacomputers.

one of the big features of computers and how they improved productivity was how they let us automate a lot of things that we had to do by hand before.

well, most of the things I have to do by hand these days involve badly designed software.

With USB C you could in theory build all this into a cable with a small box in the middle but unfortunately nobody has that I know of. All the individual pieces exist, it just needs 6 or 7 cables. :(

I've got a special level of hate for sites which make you select which location you mean before you can enter your username & password.

screw that! FIX YOUR ACCOUNT SYSTEM SO IT KNOWS WHERE I AM

UPS does this in a particularly shitty way. They don't make you select country during login. There's a country selector at the top of every page, and if you don't select the right country before logging in, everything works up until you try to submit the completed shipping form, then it gives a cryptic error like "please check address". You have to log out, select the right country, log in, and fill out the entire form again.

I wonder if anyone has proposed a PNG/EXIF extension to let you embed an image description in an image file. It'd live with the image so as you upload it to different sites, the description stays with it

All the popular stable diffusion front ends put the input prompt in a text block in the output image.

the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.

Writing elegant code is fun. Throwing together a bunch of unmaintainable crap because you are on a deadline and management doesn't care is what burned me out.
