Yeah, you. Reading this toot.
You deserve to exist.

Can I just say, that i have NEVER been scared of AIs or computers in general. Never. It's always the humans that are the worst part and the weakest link in any system. Computers just do what they're told and trained to do. Humans, on the other hand, can go through all kinds of socialization and training and schooling and still say "no, i think you aren't a person worthy of respect and dignity" Seriously. Was getting taught in kindergarten how to fucking share something new after 1984?

There should be an app out there that refuses to let you view any sort of news, social media site, or financial services website without first answering these 3 questions:
1) Have you showered?
2) Have you eaten?
3) Have you gotten at least 6 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours?
Seriously would install this app in a hot second.

If you make a copy of your partner's source code, make minor changes to it, and then cuddle it from behind, is that called sporking?

Opinions about sushi
I will always, always choose a sushi place that has a small selection of basic but high-quality nigiri over a restaurant that had three dozen novel and exciting rolls with a paragraph of ingredients apiece.

yelling about software
I'm so frustrated with desktop clients that are just chrome wrappers for web clients and BLOCK THE OS API SPELL CHECKER AND OTHER RELATED FUNCTIONS THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AAAAAUGH
Yesterday, I added DOOM (2016) to the ol' Steam shopping cart, but I also wanted something that would... balance it out? Something more relaxed, that I could play while sitting in bed, that wouldn't hype me up or splatter the screen quite so much. So I added Undertale to the cart.
I keep imagining an anthropomorphised recommendations algorithm looking back and forth from one to the other in confusion. "What do you _want_ from me?"
Good games, friendly li'l algorithm. I just want good games.

masto meta
when there is one arrow under a toot, it's a singular toot
when there is a double-arrow, that toot is part of a thread
it's a small thing, but it's useful information
also, hydration reminder

If you ever wondered "how did our (Western) calendar get this way?" and/or "why did Julius Caesar name a month after himself?", wonder no more: https://pastebin.com/rFM0XcLP (2- to 3-minute read, slight swearing)
TIL that if Firefox (or, in this case, a third-party build thereof) pops up the session restore page on launch and you accidentally tap the "close" button instead of "restore", it chucks out the session and turns off the "open previous session" option, meaning those tabs are just plain _gone._
Thanks, Firefox.

Bayspreading: the web coding equivalent of 'manspreading', where your web page loads stuff from a million separate Amazon and Google servers located in the San Francisco Bay Area because you figure 'the Silicon Valley Cloud is everyone's personal computer these days, isn't it?'
and you don't realise 'everyone' in the world doesn't host data in the legal jurisdiction of the USA or even wants their data packets going beyond their local USB cable.
Meanwhile, inside Keet's head:
Keet: *clicks around, waits for Explorer*
Other Keet: "Are we seriously doing file clean-up at 22:00?"
Keet: *sighs* "Yeah."
Other Other Keet: "Weren't we gonna chill and give our aching neck a moment to relax?"
Keet: *shrugs* "Yup."
Other Other Other Keet: "And, failing that, weren't we gonna play some more DOOM?"
Keet: *sheepish* "Yeah, yeah...."
Other Other Other Other Keet: "Or at least get stoned and look at pics of—"
Keet: "ALL RIGHT, I GET IT!"
It went through a five-and-a-half-minute period of ~25% CPU and "Not Responding"... and then finally came out the other end, but it's still chewing on moving a large number of files, slowly growing, back to 5.16GB in the time I've spent writing this.
There's Got To Be An Easier Way!™
(Yeah, boot off a recovery thumb-drive and nuke the whole damn folder from orbit.)
Ooh, and it managed to peak at 5.4GB before that command finished and I cleared the cache by issuing another command. Now it's down to 3.1GB.
I have been to the very brink and returned!
Though, uh... most of the files I wanted to delete, I couldn't because of friggin' permissions issues. *bangs head on desk*
Okay, closer to 78,000 files. I may have been accidentally misleading as to the magnitude of the task.
