  I really like it when people understand that the best intimacy is just Existing with someone in the fullness of the moment. not needing to prove or be anything, just relaxing into a trust in the Deep Okayness of each other

  curled up under a blanket with someone cute, with my gaming PC playing demos and intros, hooked up to my OLED TV with surround sound system and reactive ambient lighting 🥺

  one of these days I would love to do a public talk about what visa and mastercard *actually* do and how we got here I keep looking at people having Takes on my industry and while their heart rounds to being in the right place, there is a fascinating world of complexities in the mechanics of financial systems to solve if you ever want to replace them

  @kunsi@chaos.social nah, it's all fine :)

  @blue@glauca.space yes, and me doing it along my commute to fill in all the updated details about the area around the newly built station

  I love how on streetcomplete you can effectively see my covid-era walks through my local area because there are routes where there are no tasks remaining

  my neighbours listen to really loud drum and bass every morning… whether they like it or not :3

  I am every single month amused at how many banking and finance management apps are incapable of understanding that people might actually work for a company that also accepts payments at their retail and online stores, so send notifications like “[amount] refund from [employer]”

  nixcon really doesn't do good for my assertions of “it's not a cult” to my colleagues at work :p

  watch PLEASE, I am just enjoying my morning drum and bass

  okay I admit, smart cooking appliances *might* have been a mistake (yes, I know I could have hit a cancel button hidden under that bottom notification)

  ah, the factory game enjoyers are having problems with laying pipe and mating again

  people really do have no idea how to respond to a person saying “you're right, I should not have done that and in retrospect it was not the right move. can I walk you through the problem I was trying to solve here and get some input?”, huh

  I love accidentally stepping into engineering religious wars :D made the wonderful tactical error of asking for opinions on torx verses hex screw heads for a project

  it is so good to have that childlike sense of wonder and curiosity about the world and how things work back 🥰 spent a day or so poking at my new phone with its recommended charger and discovered whole universes of fascinating engineering behind USB PD with AVS and the downstream implications of being able to shift the adjustable voltage conversion off the device to prevent like 5w of heat from getting dumped into a thermal management system, leaving more headroom to cool the SoC and battery

  has anyone ever found a real use for service workers in browsers that isn't just causing persistent battery drain for no obvious gain? [rhetorical question] x dot com has a bug in a service worker it runs when you visit the site where it will repeatedly make requests for an incomprehensible cloudflare-hosted URL in a way that persists browser restarts and is completely undiagnosable without enabling developer options. only noticed because my MacBook Air has been warm all day

  it is truly a wonder of the internet that one can decide they want to learn something and effectively sit in on lectures from some of the best teachers on the planet

  TURNS OUT that if you signal the things you need help with around good people and a willingness to receive that help, they offer to help you?? truly wild concept

  me: “huh, why do I feel so hungry?” phone health app: “you are literally in a 2,000 kcal deficit at this moment, please fix that” yep, that'll certainly do it

  it is so deeply absurd that the more I stop trying to please people and live for my own happiness, the more some of those same people seem to actively like me one of those things that sounds so absurd when you hear it repeated but is actually frustratingly true and makes sense only in retrospect

  it blows my mind looking at benchmarks and seeing that high end phones have, in just three years, experienced roughly a doubling of CPU peak score and a tripling of GPU peak score, with dramatically better thermal design to sustain that performance and *still* get longer battery life. genuinely incredible stuff

  I know something has gone very wrong with my life choices when I'm trying to run steamcmd inside a nix builder and have several copies of source dedicated server along with entire game depots in my nix store

  parked next to a car that had a “please be patient, I'm just a girl” decal. this would be so funny on my car given I frequently out-accelerate tuned manual petrol vehicles :p
