*cough* No, I’m not trying to get your attention. I just have green phlegm in my lungs, that’s all.
@lucidiot@tilde.town Hi, back!
@deepend@yourtilde.com We here in the twtxt universe are too Calm™ for the birdsite. Its dramas — which are neverending — do not concern us. Its madness is not our own. Isn’t it a great feeling to be separate from all that?

Still making Quake maps? Consider making one titled “feed your vore fetish”, where you fight only vores, the four-legged zero-eyed spider things that fling you-seeking purple exploding boogers
One day, I’ll find out when lunch will make me sleepy and when it won’t. Today is not that day.
TF2 had an achievement called “Ubi concordia, ibi victoria”. After hearing that Eris has a counterpart, I’m wondering what an achivement called “Ubi discordia, ibi victoria” would be like.

@niplav@niplav.github.io if he’s willing to be even more nerdy he could use https://lojban.org/publications/cll/cll_v1.1_xhtml-section-chunks/section-evidentials.html and possibly color-code them in some less important color than red
I seem to have way more ideas for things I want to write when I’m out and about than when I’ve got some time to write at the end of the day. I think this has been going on for months with multiple thoughts I’ve had.
Don’t you hate it when you try to get to Inbox Zero, make it to Inbox Three, and then by week’s end you’ve got even more messages that you can’t get out of your inbox permanently?
Briefly tempted to post here as a simple read-until-this-point marker.
@niplav@niplav.github.io Do you have a particular meaning in mind for “long site”, or do you mean all the possible meanings for “long site”?
@niplav@niplav.github.io and I thought evidentials were invented by the Lojban people or maybe North American amerinds, not Eastern Europeans
@niplav@niplav.github.io I have a favorite line of prose written around here somewhere but it’s only understandable by a tiny slice of gamers with literal-Boomer media sensibilities. Posting it would break the Internet.
Old: losing weight by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Bold: losing weight by dancing to the elevator music in The Stanley Parable.
It’s Earth Day today. Sure they’re not as important, but we should also have days for all the other planets, too.

I’m starting to think that calorie counting is more effective as a weight-loss tool if you count the calories before you put them in your mouth, especially when it comes to desserts you may not need.
Someone’s BBQing near me. It smells heavenly.
I haven’t had Taco Bell in years
My BO this morning smells like Taco Bell
Realization of the day: I had no idea CFAR was a pun.
Happy Petrov Day!
To a first approximation, emoji are Lojbanic attitudinals for normal people.
One step forward: skipping the extra quesadilla at lunch. Two steps back: supplementing lunch with the entirety of a milk-chocolate bar (960 calories) that was at the absolutely most perfect temperature, and washing it down with about a cup of milk, maybe more. One step forward: burning 800 calories by walking an hour on a treadmill.
This page I’m writing sure flowed and chunked a lot better when it was keeping me awake for an hour in the middle of the night BEFORE I got out of bed.
The last post notwithstanding, please don’t drink and drive. Or drink and vote. Or drive and vote.
Jokes about Starbucks’ drink-size names are old enough to drink, drive, and vote by now, but calling the 30-oz. size “trenta” is probably the least dumb name in the history of names for sizes
I typed in “trenta” (Starbucks for “XL”) into my iPhone and it didn’t recognize it as a real word. Does Apple not understand its primary audience?

More battery life? Always nice.

Jiggle protection from iPhones Max now migrates down to normal iPhones and iPhones mini. Nice!
So what can we use with more space up top? Showing the “Syncing…” indicator instead of shoving it off to the other screen?
Workouts to get you ready to ski? That’s…interesting. Not something I need, but it’s definitely interesting.

The ecstasy of having glasses-free vision is only matched by the complete and total relief that comes with removing rigid gas-permeable contacts. It’s like buying and selling a boat every day of your life.
@niplav@niplav.github.io artistry, or is this some kind of guitar thing?
One thing that I have to recalculate somewhat frequently is “Do I have any friends in New York?”. New Yorkers tend to drift in and out of my life at a fairly frequent clip and it’s not always easy remembering whom it wouldn’t be weird to say “I’ll be in town for a few days; wanna meet up?” to
Sometimes you’re the good son, sometimes you’re the wicked son, sometimes you’re the simple son, and sometimes you’re the son who doesn’t even know how to ask a question.

Calm-computing tip: While ⌥⌘H may clear off a lot of clutter, sometimes you want just one non-full-screened window. Consider making a new Space, moving that window into it, and enjoying its unclutteredness. Spaces are easy to create, re-order, and destroy.

Just tried looking at some of my site’s pages’ HTML after they’ve been run through Prettier. It sure looks nice in bat(1), but the extra build step would take entire seconds to complete.

Follow-up question to follow-up thought: “What does it mean if someone replies with a number on [1, 7)?”
Random follow-up thought: “On a scale from 7 to 14, how basic am I?”
@niplav@niplav.github.io “Markov” sounds more like meaningless babble (maybe from a political opponent). See also: “duckspeak”.

Nope, don’t like the changes for Safari. Not one bit.

Proper two-app multitasking? Finally.
App Library in the Dock? I think that might solve my “I want to open an arbitrary second app on this screen without a keyboard” problem.
