Re MFA, I’ve been using a hardware key and it’s so much better. I don’t need my phone for a single work related thing anymore, so I can just ignore it until breaks.

Yeah that’s relatable. It’s so easy to pick apart someone else’s words when you’re just passively observing, but when it’s you in the moment…

You don’t write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge…? I thought that was downright universal

Did they mean “and be doing so insinuate” I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.

Anyway! I’m getting sidetracked lol! Haven’t even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote

Respect

Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks’ radars

I do! Thanks for the link

Just started a writing club in !writing@slrpnk.net so I’m partial to it. But it is very quiet there.

I’ve got vague designs on livening the place up, so it’s been in my thoughts a bit.

Well you’ve convinced me. I always thought copyleft sounded cool, but never thought of it in this way of more/less free

Does it generally get better by the second decade? Lol only kind of half joking

Actually, just please try rebooting before you call me, though.

Or “power cycling” as we say, because we enjoy complicating simple things

Do you miss her?

Damn that sucks, sorry to hear it happened to you

Hell yeah, I would not be helping puff up a doomed tech product for venture selloff if I was chasing actual utility.

Probably other kinds of work.

Like I would love to staff a local convenience store. Maybe some farming for part of the year. Oh and fixing people’s appliances would be so cool

I keep trying, but no, not ambidextrous

Well you can acknowledge tendencies but still decide not to harm others.

Like my authentic self has wanted to break someone’s arm before, and I honoured that by yelling at them (I’m not proud), because part of my authentic self is also avoiding violence (and staying out of prison (I really do not picture myself in prison - very inauthentic situation for me imo))

It can take some practice, but there’s no one better for the job

I apologise for my sappiness. I hope you have a good rest of your day

Now that you mention it, it’s odd that some people (like myself) have to think about it. Like I wouldn’t have to hardly think about what you meant if you said “up” or “down.”

Think of it like telling someone the directions like “twelve o’clock” versus “six o’clock” or “three o’clock” - you probably have to take a tic (heh) to picture it.

Tell me you don’t add alt text to your posts without telling me :p
