  A cool thing about having my own router with OpenWrt instead of the completely locked one from the ISP is that I get a log showing a lot of PPPoE timeouts and reconnections. This looks as reliable as the previous ISP just before they found their infrastructure unsalvageable. Maybe I need technologies that would accept a minute or more of lower layer unavailability, so I wouldn't be getting e.g. errors from Mastodon not being able to send a post, or the email client hanging on broken co...

  I've recently played The Prank series of furry visual novels (everything in 1, parts of 2), and I like it. It's short and has animated sex scenes, probably not usually played for the plot, but there is the fun in discovering all the scenes. One specific thing I highly dislike about it is the image of a dildo with no flared base, the experienced character having it should've known better. Otherwise recommendable.

  I bought a used Polish-language book and I'm happily surprised that it has been printed in Almaty. I previously believed that translations are almost always published in places of the target language, not of the people of the author.

  I've recently read about a hundred pages of Theurgy, a BL webcomic about a human-demon relationship, and I like it. (Also that these pages involved a beach episode of shirtless hunks having fun.) (Comic sites have age ratings, Tapas marks specific censored pages as mature.) https://theurgycomic.carrd.co/

  Thinking that music events could be more accessible over VR: volume control, no need to travel. Still so many issues apply, and some extra ones unique to online things. There are cool videos of these which I wouldn't look at due to flickering lights.

  Thinking how the security risk of photos revealing fingerprints would apply to a world of anthros with canines having their unique nose patterns. (And probably non-identifiable paw pads.) I see a photo of a happy big dog's face, with the nose completely in focus.

  @bazkie@beige.party I see 1990s and 2010s as times of hope and that things could improve. Also every decade is either one I haven't experienced, or one where I have experienced negative things. So 2010s.

  @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt Same. My usual reaction to ads is more like Gandalf covering the palantír.

  I really enjoyed the more "fear of the unknown" horror parts. SecUnit getting into places which I imagine via what I know of Alien media and of cosmic horror stories. There is more for me to learn from the parts with humans, but now I feel a need for more horror-focused scifi series.

  Randomly browsing what I bought on Bandcamp I recognize Jax in the picture for World of Everything by ivycomb. I enjoyed the song before and now I also know it's inspired by TADC.

  Thinking of the people I have known or have known to interact with whom governments have seriously hurt. Mostly the victims of the health care system being underfunded and mismanaged by all the recent governments here. (I had a dream of meeting one of them.)

  @adhdjesse I have this, also with various orders of ordering the thing and watching the videos, sometimes getting into a week of using it daily until anything interrupts me (like the bass guitar until Christmas, then only moved to make place for new hobbies). I've now optimized this to read about products I know I won't use, so I save on space and package delivery waiting mode.

  My weirdest game input issue is the Xbox 360 controller's d-pad buttons not matching the directions in games. I have to remember which ones to use for the various things in a game using them, but that doesn't match the display (I just found the "down" button does what a game labels as "right"). Steam Input labels them correcting in its input testing tool. Unlike that, the stick drift is expected, and I understand my confusion with the right si...

  @ChanceyFleet As a sighted person needing the text descriptions to understand most emoji, I like this. Easier to write, easier to read, potentially more precise.

  A vague note and an open browser tab with an old interview. That should've been an adventure game setup, not my own notes which I have no idea what they refer to.

  @maddy Same. Browser crashes, and instead of opening a link in a new tab, I paste text into a chat app which gets immediately sent. (Also I'm confused by what gets copied and pasted in which way in which program.)
