on the one hand: linguistic descriptivism means that my ideas of how language *should* be don't hold any weight on their own
on the other hand: if i get my friends to start using the same weird language that I use, they're now undeniably Real Language

social media site where you can't post text or images of text (enforced by ocr). you don't get a username, just a profile picture. the app is already localized to every language because it doesn't contain any text
it would either be the worst or best place on the internet

imagining a kvm switch in a 5.25" bay, so you can feed your graphics card outputs and monitor usb hub through a hole in the back and plug your laptop or phone into the front of your desktop's case, then the outputs go out the back again

wild idea: model a physical computer as a socket-activated systemd unit, wake-on-lan to start, ssh suspend to stop, in theory it could save a lot of money for homelabs with old, power-hungry servers since they would be off most of the time
