@thegibson good to be home

hackers.town: 2023-04-19 Wed 08:07

@thegibson Not even close.

What a nightmare that would be.

2023 ego-surfing is checking to see if they sucked up your site to train the paperclip-generating confused chatbot.

@lordbowlich Mom will be so proud.

@cstanhope I got disclaimers all over my site. It’s their own fault. But anyways —

if you see a disproportionate number of “anyways” and em-dashes in the chatbot dialogue, well — I helped!

@frigginglorious do i have to?

@mjgardner yep most of the #perl posts I find published in the last couple years are from your site.

Is there a #Doom 2016 mod that makes the colors a little less “burrito night at the frat house” asking for a friend tired of trying to see anything in the reddish brown haze

@akamran I suspect that’s exactly it. Most cookbooks seem intended for those far too virtuous to sully themselves with the plebian details of time/budget constrained food preparation.

Besides, the peasant women in our family killed anyone who learned too much about their recipes. So there’s that too.

Planning my meals because @IamMrsGeek is going on a trip for a few days and it would be awkward if I starved to death while she was gone.

Having a note page called “Backlog” for the things I’d like to get back to (books, courses, knitting projects) has knocked a whole lot of stress from the thinking half of my brain.

Eventually the list will get big and make me sad, but for now it’s nice I can offload remembering it.

And yeah an explicit backlog is helpful because there’s also stuff I don’t care if I get back to finishing up and this way I don’t have to keep them all sorted in my head.

Steadily pulling in notes from my other tools because quality is job one in the #PKM world

Note about ADHD; text reads “That’s what I got. It’s a neurodivergent brain wiring issue which — “what I got” oh dang i have not heard that song in a while”; video embed of Sublime “What I Got” follows

@mjgardner Oh I’m not talking about any of those. Just a page in my notes that links to other notes I want to revisit and reevaluate. The LCD here is all me.
