We've been thinking Jude was less functional and socially aware than the rest of us, but they had the realization yesterday: They can function when we are low on energy, and that's usually when they front. They are impaired by the low energy.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd I fixed a bug (I hope) in my flashcard program that made any card I hadn't succeeded at have an interval of 0. So we should have more variety and less repeated failure in the chaos stream now, hopefully.

Last November, NASA's Voyager 1 sent home garbled data, and engineers traced the problem to the flight data subsystem (FDS). The problem turned out to be a single chip in the FDS memory. They couldn't repair the chip but could move the affected code into sections and store them in different parts of the FDS system. They tested the new system this week, sending signals to the Voyager 1, 22.5 light-hours away. It worked, and Voyager 1 is back.
I trained a Biological Neural Network on all my conversations with a friend and now she's a voice in my head that talks to me.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Today's chaos stream is brought to you by Snapcraft, which apparently lets you block gamepad input going to Firefox and was essential to getting Sweet Home to work on my weird controller setup. I'm very happy someone implemented this feature that I can't imagine anyone using except me in this precise situation.

Sleeping more flushes junk out of the brain
Rhythmic activity during sleep may get fluids in the brain moving.
Success, I have installed a mednafen (and half of a Linux userspace).
Installing pkgsrc on Steam Deck in the hopes that I can then just not care about the stuff outside $HOME being frequently wiped out.

This discussion reminded me of an interview I heard on NPR a few weeks ago w/ an author of a children's book about a boy w/ one arm. It's aimed at disabled kids, giving them permission to not answer questions about their bodies. It acknowledges the often unspoken belief people tend to have that if you're different, you must want someone to comment on it, to break tension (and how this needs to STOP). I can't remember the name of the book. Anyone know it?
plurality question
When we become sufficiently familiar with an external person's voice that we can imagine them saying a specific thing on demand, is that introjection?

@matthewskelton this made me realize that, as I was thinking of all the research I've read lately, plus books like reinventing organizations, well...
The most successful leadership teaching course of all time might just be convincing executives to go to therapy for 5 years??

I'm going to try to be the system's host. That doesn't mean I'll be fronting all the time or even most of the time necessarily, but I'll be responsible for moment-to-moment bodily operations when no one else is engaged with it, which should hopefully reduce instances of it being left largely unattended.
It does require someone in the system to remember that when I'm needed, so I'm not sure how effective it'll be, especially at first.

I believe this: Because life is self-organizing and regenerating, even the very tiny shifts we make away from harm and towards sustenance of life open up possibilities that compound upon themselves.
