sure i do feel bad for failing blaugust but also surgery recovery has got hands

i am hoping now that increasing my transgenderism will make me better at netrunner. maybe one day good enough to make worlds

i got bottom surgery today sorry for the typos i'm very heavily medicated rn

i still have a dumb article i could write about debunking some old cohost discourse back in that era where people just lied to make up reasons why you shouldn't use cohost but idk if it's too late or too drama to post

here is a list of every muffle or mute i use on tapestry, my rss client of choice. a lot of what i'm hiding is promotions of some sort, usually for members-only content, which i think makes sense. but what has really started crossing the line is stuff talking about ai. i follow some normal-ish publications about web dev and stuff, and the amount of ai hype i've seen on the is driving me kinda crazy, so i am now exercising my power to be the god of my own feed and silence it all. it's muffled though because obviously this hides any ai criticism from people i might care about so it's just muffling it, requiring me to click through to see it. tragic.

okay! i'm all caught up. thanks for waiting through my absence. i've been very low energy yet busy as of late. i have surgery later this week so i'll try to queue up some posts for the weekend

yall i made a soup recipe and it was so mid omg. never making soup again

whoops i forgot to take pictures while playing netrunner. maybe next time. i got to test a version of mercury using twinning that was total dogshit and got in its own way but i did get to access 5 cards once which is super funny.

lol that's so broken i need to fix it

i write a lot of my post drafts in the app Drafts[^1], but here's some drafts that didn't make the cut or like i forgot or something

i used to have a pretty nightmarish read later system, until kobo said they were going to integrate with instapaper due to the pocket shutdown. then i switched over to instapaper for everything.

On "This didn't need to be a content warning"

Something I've seen an amount of on Cohost is the refrain, "I hate it when posts use content warnings for stuff that could've been tags", and there's been some confusion as to why. This is my attempt at explaining a few points in favor of avoiding content warnings.

Cohost has multiple systems of labeling, filtering, and gating off posts. (This is the big one.)

i have no idea what the fuck i was cooking with here. this was written about a year and a half ago, while cohost still existed. reading the other paragraph i had here, right below the crop, it seems to have been a post on how you should just use tags or something. i think i was just annoyed at people using mastodon-style content warnings and wanted to write a big callout post complaining about it. probably for the best i didn't finish it.

Pocket on Kobo is the stuff of nightmares

Imagine, if you will, being a precocious little kid who loves to read articles on read later apps on your phone. You are also a precocious little kid who loves to read books on an e-reader, which your father let you borrow so you could read every Ender's Game book. One day, you stumble uncross an animal paw, one that feels important and magical. You don't think much of it, but some way somehow, you decide to make a wish. One that holds all of your hopes and dreams, and one that you would soon come to regret. "Gee willikers, I sure do wish that I could read those articles on my read later app on my phone on an e-reader!"

And the monkey's paw curls.

this could've been something maybe but then pocket shut down, showing i was right all along and pocket sucks really bad. i think the inspiration for this was me trying to upload an article from verso to pocket and i literally could not make it work.
