I’m programming the Factorio expansion while touring Europe.

A nap while listening to Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos is an amazing experience.

realising i haven't seen anyone do the "just fucking google it" in a long wile, and it's not because people got nicer, it's because google doesn't actually work great anymore

A really good read.

This is one of my favorite comics because I’ve heard from several people who successfully put out oil fires because of it xkcd.com/1890

Damn, I don’t remember the last time I sat down and played Pikmin through from start to finish. It must have been at least 8 years since I’ve even owned a machine capable of running it.

That said, ez game, 30 parts / 12 days only 250 pikmin ded 😎

Here’s hoping the competition actually sparks some innovation and positive user experiences in this god-forsaken industry.

It’s fascinating to me how malls are dying out across the US, but are thriving and enjoyable (!!) elsewhere. Here’s one in Prague I enjoyed visiting when my luggage got delayed 🙃

I really don’t get how you’re supposed to find quality accounts to follow on here.

I must say, not a fan of the default Bluesky app. It’s… fine, but its awkward.

"I hope Twitter implodes!" I don't. I hope someone else takes over & the site returns to how it was before. I have spent years of my life posting over there. It's like losing a close friend that introduced me to all of my other friends. It sucks & I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm sad about that.
