@rgegriff you’re right on all counts of course, and also: my brain still files most podcasts as “talk radio.” If I like it it’s one of “my shows.”

Which reinforces the requirement that podcasts be a platform-independent audio file syndicated with RSS since that is literally the only persistent hook that the word “podcast” has in my brain.

@jendefer yah! It’s no longer just a bright thing in the night sky, it’s the bright thing in the night sky.

Look. I know Microsoft is a terrible no good very bad megacorporation, and Visual Studio Code is laden with proprietary chrome and sufficiently chunky that Emacs got reclassified as a lightweight text editor.

But the number of normally high-config dev workflow tasks that (basically) just work in VS Code is really hard for me to ignore.

I need to build muscle memory for shift-click in #Logseq, because dang that’s useful. It opens the selected block in your sidebar. You can do that as many times as you need. Super-handy for referencing multiple items while you’re working on a topic page.

I know it’s there. I’ve known since I dunno v0.3 or something. But I keep forgetting and wishing I had tabs.

wound up tighter than a banjo in a horror movie so maybe switching from regular coffee to mushroom coffee for a minute

funny how when i think my home office might have a bit much background noise there is some poor soul in an actual open office trying to communicate while loud office conversations are happening around them

sufficiently dissatisfied with most web clipper extensions that my brain has started thinking about a CLI workflow something like wget > pandoc > note storage

Problem with enjoying licorice is I go to the candy store and pick some up and I think I’m the first person to go “ooh licorice” at that store in maybe a year.

Good chewing exercises though.

I’m not saying they’re loud, but I’m thinking of getting them a decibel monitor as a gift.
