My stickers are here! (Well, two of them. Still waiting on the industrial werewolves of the world one, but I'm sure it'll arrive soon enough.)

re: Windows hot take 

Seriously. I managed to run it on a netbook *perfectly*. It ran just fine. No performance issues. That netbook was also released in ~2011. Vista wasn't bad. Computers were.

one more highlight from last night 

I'd say apologies to france, but I, for one, am completely unapologetic.

More highlights from the impromptu game night

Kink-related? 

Just kidding, it's a music theory paper!
(The number on the left is what number harmonic it is, and the number in the middle is cents off unison; the text is interval names)

Alright. I can't figure out why multiboot breaks in higher half (I think it's getting pushed out of place, but I can't figure out how to push it back), so I've reverted the kernel back to not higher half. Now that it's booting again, here it is! A very early version of FENIX! (I told you it wasn't much.)

Pokemon 

Different playthrough from the Nuzlocke. Really, Nintendo? I get pedo, but pedometer? Really? I'm half tempted to try "Scunthorpe," because that's the problem that's coming to mind.

slur, re: no context, a bit lewd 

Fun fact: I used to refer to myself as an "actual furfag." In fact, here's an image of my fursona before I got Aura:

(I still kinda want that shirt.)

Let's talk about something less trivial: resource usage. This is something I care a lot about. (If you head to my website, you'll notice it uses very few resources.) Eclipse *majorly* fails here.

Let's compare some Pale Moon memory snapshots. (Images once again CW'd because d'oh.) Going off of these, Eclipse is using over twice as much memory as Pixiv and the old dA layout (revived by internet archive) and over 20 times more RAM than FA.

For comparison, here's Pixiv and FA. (under a CW because I forgot to censor some mildly lewd art on the Pixiv screenshot and bordline lewd on FA). Notice that Pixiv presents it immediately. There are other places to find that, but none of them present these janky notification dots. FA's system is basically dA but better. One place where you find new art and when you clear that, it stops bugging you. That's that.

So, UI design. It's not trivial, but unfortunately, there's one major oversight that is admittedly fairly minor, but I wouldn't be surprised if, as I explore further into Eclipse, it's actually a symptom of underlying issues.

The arrows in this picture point to where you can go to see what people you watch have posted. They do not link to the same place. The notification dots do not disappear in one place when you look at the other. If I clear watches under "Watch", the red dots don't go away

Hello from Haiku!

I have no plans to switch over to Haiku as a daily OS. (Not yet, anyways, but maybe one day!) I am running it on physical hardware, though. Specifically, I'm running it on my main laptop on a spare hard drive. WebPositive's a bit laggy, but, otherwise, it feels pretty nice. Maybe one day I will actually be able to run it instead of Arch.

A fun mess for those of you who also have an understanding of sheet music and chord naming*

*Disclaimer: Luka only has a basic understanding of these things. These names are intended to be *technically* correct, but might be *very* wrong.

re: language hot take 

To translate my last toot:
"HAHA! I have my runic keyboard again!"

There it is in the Ibus configuration:
