damn electric kettle that never stops boiling until you manually switch it off humidifying my goddamn room 🙄

i hate it when you're in a GUI and it lets you do one of those continuous mouse drag selector things, and it's either free-form or it snaps to the *wrong* increments

*please* just let me type in numbers, i have wasted literal hours of my finite existence obsessively trying to get it exactly right

One thing I don't tend to agree with is that "AI" is the wrong term for it. I feel like "AI" lost its "actual machine intelligence" connotations before I was even born. Like, "AI" doesn't even indicate the algorithm is particularly complex, just *kind of* the role it occupies(?)

giving in and setting up actual desktop speakers because i compulsively destroy wired headphones and there's just too much weird interference in this basement for wireless stuff

wow, i sleep so soundly knowing "skeet" has no other meanings than a post on bluesky or a clay target 😌

maintaining consistent speech patterns is exhausting. like, no, brain, we don't speak like columbo, no matter how fried/adhd we feel. "ent" isn't real, and doesn't mean "ain't" (which we don't even say). don't let too many of dad's (or tv's) british-isms slip thru, it sounds super fake.
etc., etc...

i need to make a "terminal multiplexer" which is actually just a tui implementation of a tiling window manager so my general i3wm/sway config works even when x11/wayland fails and i get dumped into a tty

someone just needs to make a social media client that dumps all of the platforms into a single interface, and every time they come up with a new one, we can sigh and add another account to the universal word box and immediately forget we use it

neovim plugin that adds background music and sound effects as you write code

uneasy horror violins slowly ramp up as you chain together more "else if" statements. extremely nested code sounds like it's in a very, very small room. "goto" causes a horrible screech

i see people arguing with chuds on the TL sometimes on the dead bird site and, like, i get it, but also, please stop

dunk, mute, and/or block. only way to stay sane online

i saw an ad, and it told me to "learn data"

just, like, all of it?

ok, i'll get right on that

gotta say, my absolute favorite operating system install method has to be chroot-ing into the filesystem set up from either a totally different install or a live usb

installer? i 'ardly know 'er!

i should just put a line in my resume that just says "cyber" and refuse to elaborate

was having a little trouble reading the comments w/ my terminal color scheme, so I messed with it, and found that changing the tint on the transparent background from black to, like, blood red fixes everything

so, uh, i guess im edgy now?

according to my father, windows 12 will require a minimum of *16GB* of ram as a hardware requirement???

the fuck?? i use, like, *4GB* on a regular basis on my linux desktop -- like, 10 firefox tabs, some terminals, whatever

so, subskeeting a bit, i saw a group of iphone users posting about how inconvenient the lack of headphone jack is, and how it makes their everyday life just a little bit more difficult, and like...

you bought the dumb phone w/o a headphone jack, why did you do that, you could have not done that

it's kinda interesting reading the nu shell guidebook and having a bunch of references to outputs for windows users. a bit of a wtf moment, but i suppose it would be nice to be able to not be totally lost on a windows machine, assuming i can get this on there, if i'm ever forced to use one

pointer can also mean "advice"

you *have* been calling free/delete on advice you receive after you're done with it, right?
