Get ready!

old japanese nouns be like: fuji-no-yama-no-tate-no-tokoro
middle japanese nouns be like: chuuukanyoujoutsujuuchou
modern japanese nouns be like: Wow! Cool Mountain Style

cool Swedish phrase: ”inför öppen ridå”, literally “in front of an open theatre-curtain”. used for example when there is fighting in a political organisation and it's being talked about publicly, rather than behind closed doors (or behind the “curtain”)

just created a new type called NullTerminatedStringTableStream and i feel like i'm doing Serious programming now. a type name like that really makes you feel like you mean business

This image was in my head this morning and so now it is on the computer

I found the network router gacha! Assumed it was so niche it would only be found in like Tokyo but there was one around my neck of the woods as well.

I have five screens in front of me right now, across three computers

three of these screens are touch screens.

two of the screens don't have mice, and can only be interacted with by touch

the other two screens can only be interacted with by mouse

I'm not slowly going mad, I promise

This is worth reading. https://blog.silvereagle.dev/a-quick-refresher-on-the-fediverse-meta-blocklists-and-everything-up-to-now

TL;DR - The post explains fediverse drama in which people have been corrupted by their own power and influence on the fediverse. At one point another instance moderator claims that furry.engineer is an alt-right front. *rolling eyes massively at that notion*

This.

it's out of touch thursdays!

‪the pandemic changed me. since then i appreciate the little things in life more than ever. i have the earnest, unwaivering faith in the value of humanity of an anime protagonist‬
