    man, #Thunderbird really has become absolute ass. like maybe I&#39;m a decade or more late to realizing this because I didn&#39;t use it so long, but the UX is absolutely atrocious. how many fucking times does it need to download the same set of messages in the same folder???

    yeah, editing with #Gutenberg now, and it sucks. basic shit broken, such as, you know ... scrolling. clicking. great job, Mullenweg.

    I quite enjoy fireworks, at least until I&amp;#39;m chronically unable to meet my basic sensory needs, and then I intimately understand the people who hate them for noise/surprise reasons.

    can anyone comment on how good, or not good, search (for posts) is between self-hosted fedi platform apps good for single-user servers, such as #Snac2, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Bonfire, etc? I am looking for search which is actually usable by someone who wishes to find things and perhaps sort what&#39;s found, unlike that provided by e.g. Mastodon, Akkoma, etc.

    the very first time I used the new meatballs drawer in #Firefox Android, I tapped the quit button instead of the refresh button 👍 my settings have &amp;quot;clear browsing data when quitting&amp;quot; turned on, so in practice I rarely quit unless I want to clear browsing data, so this nuked all my recent history. maybe if Mozilla wasn&amp;#39;t squandering immense resources on AI slop nobody wants, #UXfail like this wouldn&amp;#39;t make it to general release.

    the behavior of #systemd developers after they shot themselves in the foot with their #ageverification footgun is a clear indicator in favor of the &amp;quot;systemd is cancer&amp;quot; argument which I&amp;#39;d been suspending judgement on for years. it&amp;#39;s time to start ripping it out.

    asking for user (and/or dev) input on fediverse migrations, meaning, seamlessly moving follows + followers from a Mastodon account to another platform software. please boost. does migration from Mastodon to ____ work properly on: #Mitra ? #GoToSocial ? #Snac ? #Bonfire ?

    first morning without beanie wasn&amp;#39;t bad at all, but that could be because I&amp;#39;m sufficiently sleep deprived from circadian rhythm shift that it was much easier to go back to sleep after the disturbance of floodlights pointed at my face popping on...

    really just barely hanging on by my claws for several weeks metrics point a mixed picture things are not going great, but still better than any post-winter-holidays period in the previous 5+ years

    too bad, given that I was tested by 23andme, it was so long ago, and so much is missing from my Promethease report ... got a few SNPs for which I&amp;#39;d really like to see my genotype

    definitely at the point where each additional unit of demotivation absorbed has a direct and immediate impact

    first 3 days of sleeping with no beanie were less unpleasant than expected, probably due to accumulated sleep deprivation. between that and artificial sunrise tweaks, the increased light delivery thru closed eyelids is definitely having an effect on my wakeup time, but my cycle is still shifted late despite evening melatonin happening on schedule. not too unusual. however I will be stay elsewhere Friday thru Sunday (away from the light exposure) so that puts a wrinkle in things.

    some dopaminergic subsystem has been out of whack for like a week, how I know is because of a massive uptick of bits of song lyrics repeating in my head (which also correlates strongly with withdrawal from a particular med with dopaminergic activity) and weird fluctuations in wakefulness, sensitivity to stimulants, etc. however I *think* (if I don&amp;#39;t fuck up this weekeng) based on past experience that my sleep cycle may un-shift over the next few days.

    was interested to try Dino for XMPP since it supports voice calls and Gajim does not, but it&amp;#39;s yet another gnomified GTK4 app :blobfacepalm:

    I didn&amp;#39;t like Kaidan when I tried it but it does seem to be quite actively developed at least... and just added support for voice calls
