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!!!

First edition of Microsoft Encarta. Windows 3.x, 1993
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)

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 https://askubuntu.com/a/551931
(is #linuxnoobs a hashtag that is a thing, i think I could learn a lot from it) https://computerfairi.es/media/lG7aPyT14hqMs5Ep8xI

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

How to Free Your Android - oder: Kontrolle über das eigene Smartphone wiedererlangen
Wann: Fr., 23.06.2017 19:00
Wo: FAU-Gewerkschaftslokal, Grüntaler Str. 24
Dieser Workshop soll einen Einstieg bieten in die Befreiung des eigenen Smartphones und dabei helfen einen ersten Schritt Richtung digitale Freiheit zu tätigen. Dabei sollen Applikationen vorgestellt werden, die nicht nur auf den kommenden G20-Demos, sondern auch im Alltag nützlich sein können.
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. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.librarything.librarything
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.)
