@ryanc hi!
i wanted to say thanks for your work.
i'm a new (1 year) UK immigrant; agender, always wanted an X, though my country of origin is never going to introduce that and i eventually settled on F as a good enough substitute.

good luck, and i hope we win

best compliment i can give to its porting team: it feels like a genuine maxis game.

HP once made printers that didn't just last years, but lasted for huge chunks of an entire century.

My office's HP LaserJet 1100 printed its first page in 1998, printed at least two pages every day, and finally printed its last page this morning before breaking. It printed for 26 years straight.

Twenty six years.

It's kinda depressing how tumblr is imploding now and I'm seeing half my follow list go "man, after seeing both twitter and tumblr do this, it's really showing how it's a bad idea for a social media network to be run by a company who can make arbitrary changes without user consent.

anyway, here's my bsky: ..."
