Nah, it’s new and shiny! I would have taken it in right away and examined it to see how it’s made. Maybe even take it apart a little bit. Or paint it.

JPEG2000 can do exactly what you want for decades.

I organized pen and paper RPG conventions back when D&D 4 came out. We banned D20 based games even then as a boycott of WotC.

FreeBSD of course.

I read posts just like yours ten years ago.

Lots of Indie game developers actually don’t make enough to live off.

Developers need to eat and pay rent.

Alpine has some great sounding earplugs and they are very affordable as well.

Loop are overpriced, but nice.

Dopamine is dopamine.

Focus on what exactly?

The best new use of woke is the woke right.

The author James Lindsay has defined it in similar terms, as “a victimhood-based identity politics” whose “victim groups are whites, Christians, men, and straight people”. He argues that the movement is “roughly intersectional” insofar as it is obsessed with identity politics and a grievance relating to anti-white racism. “Like their counterparts on the Woke Left,” Lindsay writes, “the Woke Right have accepted as fact that there’s a conspiracy against people like them and that their only real hope is to lean into the identity grouping and advocate for collective power under that heading”. In these terms, the “woke right” is a kind of ideological doppelgänger, whose members exhibit the same precisionist and absolutist tendencies of their leftist counterparts.

Pierce Morgan uses it more and more often against right wingers to great effect.

I see freifunk networks more rarely nowadays. They also are notoriously slow. Usually the mobile phone network is faster, even in Germany.

Woke is now a synonym for Social Justice warrior.

A person or movement prioritizing moralizing outrage about minor grievances over actual effective societal change.

As my half Nigerian cousin likes to say on issues like white people wearing dreadlocks: “That’s something only white privileged women care about.”

Xcode because I build iOS apps.

It’s the adrenaline triggered by the survival instinct, that gets one going.

I only date crazy (cluster B especially) women. It‘s always exciting, never boring, and I feel useful when I support them in whatever crisis situation they created. Somehow I confuse being wanted as support with love.

I tried dating more balanced people, who have their lives under control. Couldn’t do it. It’s simply too boring.

I really miss my unstable ex, even though the relationship ended with a broken heart, being broke as in too much credit card debt, a broken door in my apartment, and broken friendships with my old friends. I would do it all again though. The happiest days of my life were together with that extremely charming and sexy histrionic goddess.

Limerance is my favorite drug.

If the crisis is imminent, visual, and physical yes. If the crisis is more abstract with letters and bureaucracy, it’s not the same.

Next to the post-it’s that fell off the wall.

Putting things that need taking care of later somewhere visible

That can work but also can lead to tons of clutter.
