Time for coffee and fixing a failed keyboard update from last night.

Update: yay I fixed it! (via Arduino, not handy-dandy firmware uploader)

oh right food i keep forgetting about that

I understand the fuss over GIMP’s name, but it distracts from the more important point: it’s not a good app.

They built a whole GUI framework for it & then a whole desktop around that and it still stands out like a broken thumb.

basically I’m more interested in a better app than the same app with a better name

Twenty-odd years ago we were ecstatic someone came up with anything relevant in FOSS for a non-dev domain, regardless of how clunky it was.

That hasn’t been good enough for a while, and some apps are relics in more than just the way they were named.

FOSS is software + politics at its foundation. “Do what you like but make sure we can see it.”

Open Source is too. “Do what you like but give me credit.”

There’s big-ass gaps in it, but it’s politics.

Anyways, more coffee.

each of my manifestations in assorted realities vary in form and presentation but they are all me

“Tidied up” my hard drive and cleared 100GB.

Pretty sure most of it was browser cache.

Did I mention this? I feel like I mentioned this. But I think I’ll mention it again.

Having the keyboard partially obscured is a great way to learn how much I don’t touch type.

These tweets weren’t right next to each other in my stream, but close enough that they hit my eyes at the same time.

this site is not free it most definitely has a cost
