I have been away on a family thing in the town I lived in until I was five. We were walking around earlier, and my parents were commenting how the smaller shops are largely closed down, and everyone would rather go to the malls and stuff. (Or order online.)

I found myself drawing parallels to social networks and the state of the internet.

"hmm, the open office thing we're doing to save money is causing focus problems, what's the solution"
"put the cubicles back?"
"don't work employees for 8+ hour days?"
"horse blinders but for people?"
"YES. HORSE BLINDERS. joe i always knew you were the ideas guy around here"

It feels weird sometimes to be consciously aware of how much more I identify with nonhuman characters. Give someone a snout, animals ears, and paws, and I feel... *something* for them more...

It's not like I'm put off by human characters? But... hm...

I wonder if one could write a proxy that redirects Twitter API stuff towards Mastodon...

more specifically can I trick my Switch into posting screenshots to awoo

improving the world is hard and painful and your friends might not like it

I got a Switch and games for my birthday.

First thing I did in BOTW and uh, now what.

Sigh, I don't want to be 29... I want to go back in time to when I was 18. or 21. also with a USB stick full of my project data.

and just go "okay lets get it right before I become old"

Unless you have a very good reason not to, or are publicly known anyway, there is really no need for you to use your real name or photo online.

Back in the 90s when i first discovered the internet, this was common knowledge. Nobody used their real name on forums or share personal information without considering the consequences. Those few who did were promptly told that's a bad idea.

It seems somehow we unlearned this, right when corporations started monetizing that information.

Please, just try to be nice. Give everyone some nice vibes.

And to those you don't think deserve it, just don't engage. Because maybe, those people aren't what you think they are.

And they would like some nice vibes too.

Windows PLEASE stop doing this. No one likes this feature. You lose nothing from letting the end-user restart on their own terms.

Kodaka (Danganronpa) and Uchikoshi (Zero Escape) are working together in a new game development team and that's pretty great, but they *also* have Takumi Nakazawa (Infinity Series) on board and I'm sure those few that think he's superior to Uchikoshi are gonna lose their marbles.

I'm all for it though~.

Woo/magic stuff 

@indi Now thinking about image encoding and the like in some sorta witchy-cyberpunk context.

"Don't save your sigils in jpg format" or something.

Augh, I'm really not fond of Twitter's new web layout. It seems to be straight-up the mobile layout, which as a result makes it behave like a mobile website. It's not very good.
