Things I read about in a magazine or something, absolutely loved the concept of, and daydreamed about for YEARS before finding out it was actually pretty terrible in practice: 

@catgirl same... I played Animal Crossing for about 30 minutes, before I realised that it wasn't the game I wanted it to be at all

kobold mode activated 

@multiple_creatures_are_typing@monsterpit.net I love kobold mode

I was inspired to write a short story, but I'm not sure how to introduce the main character's appearance.

How do you introduce how someone looks, without it feeling awkward?

... I have 66 icons to manage so far, wow. :/

- 18 icons I configured to do nothing but look pretty (by running `true` if clicked)
- 48 icons that actually do things when clicked
- also, 5 programs running in windows that look like icons

I ended up writing a shellscript to help me manage them all (so much for not being as hard as it looks), because I'm definitely not done moving them around and adding more. computerfairi.es/media/FPgpo1A

I am so close to liking this icon theme I'm working on well enough to call it ready to write about. Whole screen, left-edge icons, and top-edge icons.

(Also, I like sailorhg's fairyfloss editor theme too much: sailorhg.github.io/fairyfloss/ - github.com/sailorhg/fairyfloss - and that's why I turned my xterm pastel purple, which I also need to share.)

@Zaiaku given that I dropped the drive when I moved home, it could also be the drive

@ashkitten@dev.glitch.social I use borg as well

with borg, my backup is almost 100GB

@Zaiaku it disconnects from the computer automatically after a few minutes

I need to make backups again, but I think my portable hard drive broke

and my backups are around 100GB
