How to get the Electric Keet experience from social media. (second person, implied mh)
1) Decide whose posts you want to see.
2) Follow most of them, and a few other interesting-looking folks.
3) Fret about who you might have missed.
4) Read posts that vaguely align with your hobby interests; respond with paragraphs of minute trivia.
5) Read close friends' posts that resonate deeply in philosophical and personal ways and absolutely beg for insight or comfort; respond by clicking the little star.
6) Via mobile device, read posts that seem very interesting but require audio or long-form reading, then punt them to a "read later" list for when you're at a less mobile device.
7) Never go through those "read later" posts. There are more posts to read.
8) Continue to fret.
9) Get a bit of courage to type a little about your current interests, mood, thoughts, or environment.
10) Get discouraged halfway through when it doesn't come out right and you're not sure what CW to put on it anyway.
10b) ...unless the Adderall's kicked in!
11) Keep on fretting.
12) Refresh feed.
13) GOTO 3

This was made with a python script I wrote that automatically changes the graphics data in an NES ROM to look like a lower resolution. If you'd like to try it out, you can find it here:
US tax product suggestion
W-2s and 1099s are due out today! When you get them, try https://www.freetaxusa.com/ instead of turbotax. free version is full-featured, support & audit defense upsell is only $7, and the UI is way snappier.
It can't try to import your income forms, but turbotax is bad at that anyway and I already have to do a bunch of manual corrections because (by law) employee stock sales are misreported on the 1099-B in a way that makes you pay too much tax if you don't. Thanks Intuit.
The Paperboy theme is such a great groove! Love these crunchy chords.
Super Nintendo Music Does Not Need "Restoration"

Adobe Photoshop CC and niche configurations.
At first, Photoshop worked fine.
After an upgrade, I started having the weirdest performance issues. It would seem to take forever to start up, but if I brought up the Task Manager, it would instantly jump forward to normal operation. The same would happen for dialogue boxes, including Preferences. Drawing a marquee would seem to stall, then eventually work... and then dragging anything around would happen at about one frame per second.
I won't go through the many, many steps I took to squash the problem, but here's what works:
- showing on notebook PC's built-in display
- showing on extended desktop on external monitor via HDMI
- showing on extended desktop on external monitor via USB→DisplayPort adapter
Here's what doesn't work after the update:
- showing on extended desktop on external monitor via USB→DisplayPort adapter while variable-rate refresh (GSync and the like) is enabled
At least I found an easy fix; I could have been banging my head on that one for a long time!
So hey I made functioning tiny guillotine necklaces.
Like the blade will actually drop if you hold it upright and let go.
Chop chop.
Today's peeve: Cartoon horse tint.
The careful observer will see that Rarity's coat color is not white, but in fact very pale grey.
The careful observer with good color vision will see that Princess Celestia's coat color is not white, bit in fack very pale pink.
Perhaps I consider this a little too important, because I grumble just a little every time I see either of them rendered with a pure white coat.
true enlightenment comes when you accept 'war is bad' AND 'wow cool robot' earnestly into your heart
Table cat becomes a song

A short piece of playful music is heard. The bottom of the video is the "table cat" meme – a still image of a cat with an expression of disgust at a plate of salad greens. Above that is a piano-roll display showing a timeline of the notes being played. The music has been cleverly composed such that the piano-roll resembles line art of the meme.
So I have a TikTok account now and I sometimes make things like this completely accurate portrayal of meetings when you're self employed. https://www.tiktok.com/@ohhadiwings/video/6923031922293755142
This seems cool, and I like the idea of the term 'Ethical Source' for the movement that is trying to address the social/ethical/etc. failures of Open Source.
