if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal
upsetting how much easier it is to find abandonware for mac than it is for windows
i can readily download reason 4 on macintosh garden
the windows version of reason 4 on internet archive is a pirated non-archived version that doesn't work

Had a dream @selectric and I (for some reason, hi Liz!) were remotely covering a computer trade show by restreaming it with our commentary and added reviews. I was in charge of setting up our OBS overlays and received from Intel a CPU and GPU combo for evaluation.

i think if you do a lot of stuff on the computer, programming specifically, everything is such a pain in the ass to do, not because the problems you're solving are naturally complex, but because of annoying artificial stuff like "configuring this toolchain takes an entire working week", that the cumulative effect on the soul makes your creativity atrophy, and your interests gradually turn inward, toward meta-concerns like programming language and tool design, rather than actually making anything
