Hey there, Cutie. What's up? That is, for example, how (and what) is your Haskell thing?

A massive announcement of interstellar proportions 

You know how I start a new blog every Valentine's Day? And how today is Valentine's Day?

That's right. Today is the day my item-by-item exploration of all the things in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri begins. And let me tell you - there are things in there. Come for the nostalgia value, come for the novelty value; stay for the immense amount of words you did not know you wanted to read about science fiction, past and present

Unexpected Consequences, profanity 

DAMMIT Losing my /data partition means I fucking also lost my 2-Factor Auths! So I have to go around all the accounts that used them and disable 2-Factor and re-enable 2-Factor. (Unless, and I REALLY HOPE... unless Titanium Backup saved their data for me.) FUCK!

Depression: I screwed up 

Damn... I was having some issues with interactions between Magisk and Xposed/Magisk, so I went to Recovery so I could try to fix things.
Zip installation wasn't doing anything, so I went a different route. I changed TWRP from installing Zips to installing images, selected the stock boot.img, and... installed it to the System partition. Fuck.
Didn't realize I did that, and things snowballed until I formatted my Data partition. Well, at least the phone works now.

Actually... if I became the dumbest person in the world, without actually losing ANY intelligence, that would probably get us a lot closer to an ideal world.
The first positronic (or similarly-capable) brain would be invented in a week. R. Daneel Olivaw would exist a decade from now, and the human population would be down to 5 billion via voluntary (not even government-sponsored social programs, and definitely no laws about it) reduced procreation.

It's strange... In real life, I'm the computer genius, who knows how to do things my friends, family, and strangers haven't even heard of. But here and on Elekk, I feel like a nitwit compared to people like @squirrel and @noelle.
Even stranger, even though I take pride in my intelligence (despite my severe mental health issues), and calling me "stupid" is a near-unforgivable insult, I'm fine being the relative moron. Maybe I like being around people smarter than me.

Please add the ability to retroactively mark a toot with a Content Warning, and also for admins to do so to others' posts. (But not remove the CW... That has "bad idea" written all over it.)

I love seeing my friends doing things that make them feel happy n stuff

Hey, I got a weird-ish question, I think. Have you ever installed SteamOS? With custom partitioning?
It was a little weird when I did it in I think 2016. (I've since removed it...) Valve doesn't even act like it's possible to not kill Windows when installing their distro. If not for so many games being Windows-only, I'd probably still be running it now, though.

In a few minutes, I'm gonna start playing some Mechwarrior Online, hopefully on-stream at mixer.com/formedras and I hope someone will actually watch.

Please don't mind the bottom and right sides being blank; I haven't figured out what to put there yet.

Because I don't mind if people think I'm ugly, even though I still hope they don't. computerfairi.es/media/dBEQ2VN
