conlangs are one of those things i will never, ever, /ever/ be able to comprehend but i can deeply respect the people that are into them

also see: programming, managing an Arch/Gentoo install, vim/emacs, backend webdev, etc

@sc tbh once you have a working arch install it's not too bad to keep it working the way it is. it's only when you dig in and play with the inner workings do you actually end up breaking things and then it's a huge pain

vim is deep magic

@monorail so is haskell and tiling WMs where you need to memorize keyboard shortcuts

a friend of mine posted about them doing both in my discord earlier today and they're younger than me and i feel stupid

@sc i used to use i3 and the simple keyboard commands came pretty quick but yeah, there's tons of stuff i never even tried to learn

i know just enough Haskell to like "get it" but not enough to do anything useful with it

"they're younger than me and i feel stupid" mood! mood!! mood!!!!!

@monorail [someone posts a ciphered toot and i ask them how to decipher it, and they tell me. i still can't figure it out] Cool. Guess I'll Die Because You're Smarter Than Me
