Brewed my final cup of basement kombucha today. It was delicious but kind of a pandemic project and I just haven't had time to work on it. I've had the best results with ginger and cherries, also tried mountain dew but the hallucinations were too violent. If anyone wants the SCOBY let me know.

Files have always been the superior interface, this is still true. When I had 100k mp3s I couldn't even use iTunes because the fcking indexer would crash trying to load all of them into the interface. "Songs/Artist/Album Name/01 - Title.mp3" was a perfect interface, fast to load, and easy to use.

Don't read negative reviews of a restaurant to learn anything about the restaurant, read them to learn how insane the reviewers are.
Check out this full-blown existential crisis about greed, illegal child labor, and the slow death of the American dream for a review of a mom and pop SANDWICH SHOP.

Trying to figure out how to process this.. I love the idea of simpler browsers but I think that conversation is over.. cutting all of the funding for browser development seems like a great way to shove everyone into hyper addictive social media apps on monopolistic app stores and kill the web.
