Basically got the Linux partition usable. Not perfect, by any means, but everything I need to do the stuff I need to do.

SO SHUT UP ABOUT “TIME FOR A REINSTALL” OKAY BRAIN?

Is it still doomscrolling if you’re just staring in shock at your screen?

Well I guess technically yes, since the firehose of awful is scrolling on its own.

Better switch browser tabs.

I know folks got justifiably more pressing concerns right now, but when you got room in your brain, think about locking down your sensitive notes and communications. Not just private, but local.

Discord asking me to log in again.

Maybe later.

I don’t like you, you know. You’re just Slack with a skateboard, a backwards baseball cap, and a “MUSIC BAND” t-shirt.

@y0x3y That’s awesome! “Better task notes” is part of why I’ve been trying to merge my Taskwarrior tasks into Logseq / Obsidian / etc.

@jaywilliams Kind of a tangent, but it’s part of why Notion has been challenging for me as a notes app. When you’re fundamentally a chaos monkey, you need to be able to use tangential associations and accidental insight in order to remember a thing.

@jaywilliams My favorites these days lean towards bright and purple, like a Fairyfloss, Witch Hazel, or well-done 80s Neon.

But Solarized is my base line, and what I fall back on when I can’t find or figure out one of the above.

Chief lesson of last night’s puttering: Logseq needs CSS cleanup. Solarized Extended adds nice layers for customization, but Electron’s still working harder than it needs to.

Reading the headlines and suddenly thought of this song which came out in 1997 and I think probably should’ve gotten more airplay, but the millennials figured it out on their own.

Psychiatrist hasn’t found the button that says “send by mail.”

So — day two w/o ADHD meds:

brew coffee; forgot to push “brew”- brew coffee; forgot to put coffee in- pour out hot water; brew coffee; forgot to turn coffeepot back on- brew coffee; ?

wish me luck!

Oh hey. https://regolith-linux.org redirects to https://regolith-desktop.com, and I see nothing about Regolith Desktop being in beta anymore.

Guess I can update now!

I was confused about JavaScript promises so I read “Understanding JavaScript Promises” by Nicholas C. Zakas. Now I’m slightly less confused and I took notes so any lingering confusion should eventually resolve itself.

@jaywilliams @otto Oh we have dozens of them. Just can’t get our bosses to sign on.

hackers.town: 2022-06-17 Fri 09:11

@jaywilliams @otto it couldn’t possibly be from fears that we’re looking at this amazing language we found yesterday through rose-colored glasses.

Nope. Can only be bureaucratic ineptitude.

That’s gotta be it.
