I always see these posts about ditching smartphones and going back to flip phones that only call and this and that. I assume these people don't use auth apps or phone 2FA. If you don't need them to access work or have a non cellular device just for apps then maybe you can sneak past this. We just nuked a couple of...
So, I've noticed that Twitter has had an auto translate thing for a while now. You'll see a post from someone with an all kanji name but the text is in english. Then under their name is a little note that says "Translated from Japanese." Used to, you had to click "translate" to see what something said. I know it's...
Did I write anything in the last few days? No. Did I decide to spool up an aggregate site to show me all the stuff I follow on one page because it's too hard to have numerous RSS Feeds proc in a Discord channel? Yes. It has light/dark mode. I'm still messing with how many things show up at once and getting the grid...
In 2014 I decided to try my hand at writing a book. I did, and it was terrible. Then in 2018 I tried again and wrote something not terrible but not great. Neither of these books had anything in common. In art school you are told you need to pick a style, or create a style. That way you stand out and become something...
I do not enjoy Commander. I know that's the way everyone likes to play these days and what most of the events are. The whole reason it's played so readily is because you can use your older cards from a much wider pool than standard. I know about Pioneer, Pai Gow, Modern, Pauper, etc. I don't have any friends that...
That's what that title sounds like, lol. The kids were watching the Nintendo announcement video yesterday to see what kind of shenanigans were going on in Switchland. I sat and watched it with them to see if there was going to be anything worth $500. The short answer to that is no. The long answer is eventually. The...
So I got that little zine marketplace site to work locally on my machine. Got it hooked up to the stripe sandbox stuff to test payments and it all worked just fine. I added a bunch of dummy zines to test the checkout and user reading section. I have the domain ready, I'm just contemplating wether or not to make it...
That's what videogames are for, right? Driving around in the cars you can never afford? Racing like gas isn't 5 dollars a gallon? Where if you work in a pizza shop or cafe you actually make money? Where if you throw a rod into a pond you catch a fish? Where if you complete a quest you get rewarded?
"Wrestling is fake!" Well, no. It's not fake, it's choreographed, practiced, and performed by athletes who spend hours in the gym to safely do their part. That's like saying a play isn't real. Is it a MMA fight or boxing match? No, but is every "real" fight legit? How many stories have you heard of a fighter being...
I can ride a bike just fine. As a kid I had the little red tricycle and moved up to a pink Huffy with tassels and training wheels sometime around kindergarten. We lived on a narrow unmarked road as a kid so watching for cars was important but our driveway was long enough for me to have fun just doing circles around...
So a while back I wrote a post about zines. In that post I talked about how I felt that making a marketplace for zines would be too difficult to monetize. And by monetize I don't mean make me money but generate enough money to pay for its own hosting and upkeep costs. But to have like, some sort of online zine...
this post is in response to this post by lwgrs and this post by donthave2sting. I am also not going to talk about shortwave radio in this post as it's outside the scope of these two but historically speaking it predates FM radio and was crazy. Google it. It's crazy. I have probably mentioned this before when I talk...
