I do want to start using BlueSky more but I really have such niche interests that I don’t know where to start.

I don’t really know how to use social media. I kinda just talk into the void and hope that whoever reads it is even remotely interested.

I ended up choosing Fedora as my Linux distribution.
I’m happy I did so.

The ads on Duolingo that say “get super to learn faster”
My thoughts: most of the time I spend waiting on this app is for the ads after literally every two minute lesson.

Just finished Jay Rubin’s translation of End of the World & Hard Boilrd Wonderland by Haruki Murakami 4/5
Such a lonely and tired ride. I don’t know if it’s the point in my life that I’m at or if we’re all this tired, but I connected with the protagonist(s?) just on his (their?) exhaustion alone

One of the downsides of a lot of the book / reading apps is that they’re mostly aimed towards a female demographic.
If the algorithm is working, why am I being fed romance incessantly?
My current read is Haruki Murakami. I’m more likely to read about the shape of a woman’s ears than a man’s abs.

I’m studying for my high school degree as an adult, and I’ll just say this about math: linear equations and systems of equations is the sudoku of math. It’s like getting brain scritches.
