Trying to do things is so similar to running into a (fairly fluffy but definitely sturdy) wall

*gets stuck in some muddy sticky stuff* ah yes, learning new things is fun and refreshing

also my brain has this thing that prevents it from thinking too many complicated thoughts, I think

which is very kind, but sometimes, I would actually like to think 1 or more complicated thought

i mean WITHOUT snow chains obviously, snow chains would make it a thing that both works and is fun / an exciting adventure

my brain is very similar to "being stuck in snow with a car that can't do that much snow", actually

mastodon, the year? 2045. we all exclusively speak in incomprehensible multilingual heavily contracted phrase. each word is actually a least ten words in at least five languages

negativity, vague drug mention 

time for me to leave the internet… I got super angry at a tumblr post that said people shouldn't write fanfiction containing binders with weed prints because they don't exist

…which is true-ish if you ignore shapeshifters custom fabrics

BUT also fanfiction isn't supposed to be realistic?? I don't want weed binders but I definitely want binders with kittens on them!!

and there is always screen printing if your character is even a little bit close to diy spaces!!!

i remembered that dream(?) because just now it took me an embarassingly long time to decipher what "POA" means in a Harry Potter context.

I think I had a dream about not remembering what initialisms stand for o.O

in the dream there was a tweet about "CTF" and I was like… "what is that? is that some medical thing? no like… a philosophy thing? no wait that person I know does that! it is some geek thing! it is… ooooh!"

also this might not have been a dream but just tired!me reading actual twitter/mastodon, oops.

(also i didn't know up to now that this also refers to a sports thing, thanks wikipedia)

tech, disability 

Fuck Amazon

I only wanted to write some programs for a home assistant to automate some of my care needs but everything has to use AWS, which demands a credit card up front with no mention of what it will charge you, when or what for and I'm too poor for that

So I'm left with my hopes dashed and a frankly useless Echo Dot because Amazon did a really bad job with this one folks, let me tell ya.

Can someone who is smart at this please tell me if I can jailbreak it or something?

Oooh I didn't know that I needed a "which files are where"/"which of these weird folders contains what kind of stuff" flowchart in my life but I definitely do askubuntu.com/a/551931

(is a hashtag that is a thing, i think I could learn a lot from it) computerfairi.es/media/lG7aPyT

Thought: The "registration closed" message on instance homepages should prominently include or even redirect directly to joinmastodon.org (?)

Oh ok but Librarything has an app that I didn't know of yet. I'm going to try this… it can't be worse than the Goodreads app, lol. play.google.com/store/apps/det

I think not long ago I said that using Goodreads and Librarything worked ok for me…

Actually, I'm back to hating both. Why are they so terrible. Librarything is one huge compromise and really only ok as "I don't want to be ONLY on Goodreads", and I don't think Goodreads is even trying to be good at anything beyond the very necessities of book reviewing.

(Tell me of any alternatives that you might know, please.)

i don't know what i did to my fonts, but man pages now show 🐾 where a `*` is supposed to be…

…and i'm fine with that.
