@annika you may be amused to know that i saw your kind and informative downtime announcement on my mobile app, whose emoji picker is a little weird -- i thought i was selecting "praying hands" but apparently i selected "nose" :)

@annika
yay!!!

@clarity
the husband of my Nepalese neighbor mentioned it as part of "all the shit happening in the world rn" and to my great shame up until then I'd heard zilch

if you use ChatGPT or other generative AI tools please just don't tell me, especially in response to my question, "how's your health issue lately?"

@annika
thank you sincerely for your service!

@clarity
during the moments before I understood "piano", I assumed this jazz-style "free" meant that the code was self-indugently complex, impossible to follow or appreciate -- that, in short, it sucked

@clarity
before i read the comments I thought "piano" was like "jazz"

@annika
and I am perpetually surrounded by cops

@APBBlue
homophobes with tasty chicken

@killyourfm
beautiful Yachats! yay!

@annika definitely only satisfaction

@clarity speaking as a never-will-be-recovering Rimworld addict, i found that editing the start scenario to add in tons of pre-researched tech helped me eradicate that "from scratch" aspect.

@annika oh, how my palms did itch to post the relevant Rick & Morty clip, and then reason prevailed, and my palms and i fell silent. the only remaining evidence of that passing folly is... this post. fuck.

these days i comfort myself by watching scenes from movies and TV shows in which characters are kind to someone with no expectation of reciprocal kindness. i bawl every time.

might have accidentally given up on everything again oops

as frustrating as the technical failings of Mastodon truly are, there are great benefits to a social media platform that filters out sensitive complainers and people who require perfect-seeming functionality.

:(

so many thoughts

oh, the faux-butthurt mods at Stack Exchange wrote me a sad and vaguely threatening email about my having deleted my answers from their site (which i did because they partnered with OpenAI).

i revised and expanded my initial response ("go fuck yourselves") and hopefully improved upon it. i'm still mad tho! time to take a walk.
