It's mostly things I've made or been interested in (music, game projects, musical web nonsense), but mostly just... I've always had this site, and am attached to it in a way?
It used to be the name of a comic I made for fun, and the gets used for everything to remind me to keep that feeling of fun and making stuff for enjoyment. :)
Must admit, I'm frequently torn between the private nature of why I binned facebook vs writing there, but meh, I'm happy and that'll do.
I "broke" linux mint just by trying to pop KDE on, had to timeshift because it messed up my keyboard layout and a whole bunch of other things with my display.
I don't know how people do these crazy changes without pain, and have a feeling the answer is simply "there's pain" 😂
Thank you so much for this! I never ever see anyone share open-source setups like this for non-hobby work, and it's inspiring. :)
(Ramble incoming)
I noticed since jumping from windows I'm missing Ableton, and it's been a mental block of knowing that I'll need to choose a new way to do things. It's daft as I loved ardour and LMMS back in 2014, and I'm sure they're even better now :) I totally need to dedicate some time to music, it's been a neglected piece of my soul for a bit too long. :)
Edit: also, Plug Data looks brilliant! I loved MaxMSP, and it got me into game making/coding. :)
For me, the last "ah yes, the future" moment was going from "broadband" to seeing real fiber at a friend's house that was 100x faster. Insanity at the time :)
I can recommend the burger recipe that uses cream crackers! :) Nothing more insightful to contribute besides that though as I've not tried other recipes
(usually the BBC have a version with "less fancy ingredients", by which I mean "doesn't assume I have my life together and can afford to have fresh vegetables on hand in my fridge" - this is probably a me problem lol)
Wow, the classic Alice In Chains, and Remain In Light by Talking Heads! I didn't know this person, but what they made has impacted me greatly. ♥️ Sorry to hear this, and glad to know about him (belatedly)
I now refuse to go back! It took time but now I openly express pain using qwerty on a touchscreen :) Probably the first thing I'd install on my phone (after f-droid to find it naturally) :)
Thank you! I had a look, as I thought they were discontinued in the UK, and it looks like I can get one sim-only from a few places. :) Awesome, that'll do nicely when the time comes, thank you again!
I will be sad when my S10 dies, purely for finding a headphone jack. It might sound dumb, but I only see drawbacks to bluetooth audio, as it's not solving any problem I had to begin with. :)
This was funnily what got me considering binning my account, (then Cambridge Analytica being in the news made it a thing I went through with).
I discovered that filtering out sponsored, friends-of-friends, shared posts, and sorting by most recent, there were 3 posts maximum each day written by someone I know! :) It made me realise how manipulative the site was, how frequently I "checked the fridge", and how little I might actually miss. :)
Not the aims of fbpurity, but damn I'm happier since binning facebook :)
That's so cool! I loved it, and then you panned around and it was like a little galaxy :)
