programming 

every few months I'm like

"I should make C, but better"

and so I start designing a simple language, and slowly I'm like "ooo I think I should have this, that would make it easier" and I add on more and more things

and then I realise that it's basically rust and I'd have to write a hugely complicated compiler for it and no-one would ever use it

free love means to love without expecting anything in return

maybe you're thinking of shareware love

hot take on input methods (with sources! that I can't find right now because my brain is out of brainergy) 

mice are difficult to learn and difficult to use, especially for people with injuries or disabilities

this is a major reason why smartphones and tablets have gotten very popular - touch input is much, much less taxing

I need to unfollow people for my own sake, there's too much on my timeline.

If I unfollow you, I'm sorry for doing that to you

me: I should unfollow some people, my timeline's too active
my timeline: almost exclusively consists of my friends and people I find interesting and don't want to unfollow

hey lana.zone is gonna expire in a few days, i'm not gonna renew it, it's $24/yr, does anyone else want it so it doesn't go back to the registrar and possibly gets squatted? i don't want it anymore

backup worked!

but it also backed up a bunch of games, which was wasteful. so I'm doing it again, but asking it to exclude game directories
