Because ADHD brain, I just made this thing that lets me put a command in a new gvim terminal buffer. So I can do
$ window top
and it'll make a new gvim terminal buffer and run that in it.

(Also made this morning: a "pager" that does something similar but with stdin, so man pages can go in a new buffer by default.)
Decided to post the changes I make to my Steam Deck (mostly to get OBS capture working in game mode, which I might be the only one who has a working setup for, as for some reason flatpak OBS no longer works for this). https://gist.github.com/madewokherd/538d0621e1f25835acba99e073fddd8f

Get Firefox dotcom.
Download, install, & run.
Menu -> Add-ons and themes -> Extensions -> Find more add-ons: "ublock origin" -> uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill -> Add to Firefox
Why?
Because now that Chrome has dethroned Internet Explorer, one dark lord has been replaced by another:

Is Firefox the best Web browser? No, far from it! But it's the *least* bad choice of browser that works with the modern excuses for websites you use.

people always going "autistic people need support from their friends and family <3," "autistic people need patience <3" when what autistic people actually need is a comprehensive, peer-reviewed database of human behaviors paired with an advanced search mechanism so you can type in a thing that you do and find out if it is an Autistic Thing, a Weird Guy But Not Autistic Thing, or by some miracle an Actually Everyone Does That Thing

I want to take this article, print out copies by the ream, and force feed it to everyone who's told me to "just apply" for whatever over the past couple of years. https://www.salon.com/2024/07/28/everlasting-jobstoppers-how-an-ai-bot-destroyed-the-online-job-market/

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Gonna see how bad I am at Dr. Mario in Ultimate NES Remix with the new controller. And maybe also do a run through Super Mario Bros. stages if time allows.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Running through the Super Mario Bros. stages in Ultimate NES Remix again. Still learning how to push the directions I intend to push.
Love the sinner and the sin. Hate nothing.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd I'm going to try running through the Super Mario Bros. stages in Ultimate NES Remix, as I get used to a new controller. Last time it took me 85 minutes and 208 deaths.
Confirmed that in order to get OBS to capture the screen via pipewiresrc in game mode, it has to be running outside of a container - flatpak OBS doesn't work. So messing with files outside home (and building your own obs-gstreamer) practically required.
So, I made a thing that checks mastodon, email, rss, reddit, youtube, some other stuff and throws it all into a single chronological html file. This has been saving me time, and I think more of that is from taking away a source of distraction (I read the stuff and then I'm done and that's it, no more checking that day) than the overhead of finding the new things on a bunch of websites.

kink...?

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Playing Ultimate NES Remix. I now have proper foot controls on both feet (so that'll take some getting used to), and I'm rethinking my flashcard system a bit. Instead of "No Deaths", I'm going to be going for "Minimum Deaths" so I can get practice on every part of a run.

One of the great nominative determinism fails in software engineering is that the mono repo is not a monorepo

Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)
No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/
