oh word, discord is over? oh no, where will people looking for subject matter expert advice be forced to assign themselves a role and work their way up to the main chat ucb style until a basement neckbeard who has the pdf you want gatekeeps it until you bark for him or what the fuck ever

A small favour to ask.
From a Mum with a suicide survivor of 5 years.

Theres an online project which holds a trove of heartfelt messages of hope and love from real humans. Every time you refresh you can read a new one.

If you have a message you would like to leave, you could be the reason someone stays long enough to seek help, reach out, be the reason someone else down the line sees their message and knows there's a way forward.

Have a look. If you think you can, leave message.
If you need a message and the one you read doesnt help, take one breath, refresh, read the next one. Do that and you're already on your way to being a survivor.

You have every right to be here on this planet as I have. And its a far better place with you in it.

If you're feeling the dark, its because you can tell the difference from light.

Hugs. Thanks for reading. And if you go look and leave a message, I guarantee it will help you make the world a bit better.

Capitalism has convinced people that new always equals “better” so if you want to rebel against Capitalism start to recognize that “new” is often just a way to extract more money from you.

Existing (or “old”) things can be functional and beautiful, and often easier to repair.

The word “old” should not be an insult. Not to things or to people.

What is the most optimal way to make a monthly calendar program? Why, of course pre-render the calendar and store it is a bitmap in the ROM.

How ELSE are you going to use all this massive 2 megabyte ROM?

This operating system is something else.

Websites should not start breaking and promise to quit working if your browser slips more than one season out of date.

Operating systems should not tie up your Internet connection for an hour with updates and prevent you from doing anything useful just because you left the device it's on turned off for a month.

Every modern website and every modern desktop and pocket OS is guilty.
