   if i was getting paid monthly e.g. through liberapay just to have money to live normally again, i'd be more than happy to work full-time on the shit i said i was gonna do, and try my hands atnew shit like porting/testing shit for mobile (lineage and pmOS). basically i wanna do all the tedious shit nobody else wants to touch but someone needs to do if we're gonna have any hope to ax all the technical debt around us

     taking over a year away from any technical shit and even from most societal shit has allowed my mind to rewire and make me actually *desire* to go back into development hell, this time staying organised and letting external eyes keep watch on my progress and suggest where i place my priorities
     
     the only thing i'm horrible at is PR and that's why i find it difficult to get things off the ground and gather any external interest. the extent of my ability for that is like, posting a release to a mailing list. i'm not good at anything else when it comes to talking with people and gathering any form of publicity. for me it tends to happen randomly

     i do wanna do non-tech shit but really i just wanna do literally anything that doesn't require me to sit on my ass all day waiting for gibs. the american government is godawful when it comes to welfare, and even if you do get a benefit, it takes forever and you're likely to get a fraction of what you actually need
