I made this guy in about an hour lol

i'm having difficulty keeping my back stable which means i keep catching myself slouching into the worst positions. walking and standing are both a challenge right now because my ability to balance is fucked. also headache. i pushed myself too hard with exercise earlier this week and this is the result

i've got energy and motivation to do things though, but i just physically can't do anything right now without rapid consequences

i don't write email using my phone very often but i noticed my phone got super hot while trying to write a short message just now, and the gmail app interface was super sluggish as it kept trying to give useless autocomplete suggestions :/ also it seems to have used 20% of my battery charge in that time.

now it could have been a coincidence, I was trying to cross reference information on a website that also seemed to be having problems.

you'd think a quad core processor and 4 GiB of ram would be enough to send email and look at websites but i guess silicon valley would prefer i chuck this perfectly good portable computer into the fucking ocean and buy a new one

teach 👏 programmers 👏 how 👏 to 👏 code

some of you have only ever made webpages on computers that cost more than a thousand dollars and it shows

silicon valley doesn't even make the silicon parts anymore i think we should start calling it something else to keep up with the times like e-waste valley or planned obsolescence valley

where is the Republic Of Gamers and do they have a good track record on human rights? also how's the public transit

i wish mastodon/activitypub/whatever had a "no boosts" option, the option to turn off replies to a post (as in nobody can attach replies to it, not me not seeing their replies), and a "only show this to people I follow" option. the "followers only" option is fucking terrible

I've got one good thing to say about Windows 11 (an operating system I've blessedly avoided installing on any of my personal or work computers so far), which is that the sideways nfpa diamond logo looks way better than the we-took-a-scissors-to-the-flag-of-sweden logo Windowses 8 through 10 had

this was originally going to be a snarky joke about the windows key on my laptop, but while double checking things I realized Microsoft changed their logo yet again.

semi-unrelated bonus content:

I still think they should throw everything away and gives us Windows 7 again

@hipsterelectron no it's the thing that shits the bed the most and every time it does it fills me with rage because things that worked *perfectly* or even just good enough on linux 20 years ago are now broken because some ass hole decided old things are cringe

I think we should roll the entire web back to 2005 ish until somebody figures out what the heck is going on

@mattl is it any good?

@mattl what's the wired cd?

🧐

you ever get really excited about an idea and then realize a slightly embarrassing amount of time later that you merely invented podcasts 25 years late

anyways I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if there was something like youtube but the focus was on audio instead of video so the episodes were generally produced to be more comprehensible without requiring visuals, and maybe also you got rid of all the aspects of youtube that suck, (etc)

anyways I guess this means I'm finally ready for "pod casts". are there any "pod casts" that aren't about dungeons and dragons or opinions on media

(this is a real honest question, it's just a little unenthusiastic so it doesn't have a question mark at the end of it)
