Learning #asciidoc

Because i set my #gentoo pc to be #wayland only without X. . . i felt need to have strong alternative to word processor.

Now i think #minimal environment can be really useful. Not having access to libreoffice forces me to find decent replacement for everyday life doc writing.

Ofc. i could go easy way and install word processor on old laptop ... but that means no real gain... without need, or any other motivation it's hard to learn anything.

less is more.

Looking at new mid-tower cases and seeing nothing but glass/plastic panels. I do not want to see the inside of my computer for crying out loud

What have you been playing lately? Is it any good?

I really need to fix kernel updates breaking the Intel firmware loading on my #gentoo mini-pc. Looks like hardware Transcoding isn't working again :(

apropos of several walled garden dramas today, I am thinking about how one does not try to break into an escape room

Horrible air to breathe today. (Only took a short stroll with a mask on.)

Flattering hazy light for bunnies and older buildings apparently, though .

1910's high school building in Chicago. Neo classical column front, framed by a tree in the front and one on the right. The main building shows up in the background..

The air quality in #Chicago is currently the worst in the world.

Yet outside, everyone is out without masks. Little kids, old people, everyone.

Why?

I'll tell you. Because no "likes" masks. No one is telling people to protect themselves.No one wants be different.

Yet everyday in Beijing and in Japan, people wear masks all the time.

We're stubborn and ignorant.

We surrounded ourselves with walls and fences. Put locks on our doors and bars on our windows. Trained dogs to bark at strangers. Installed security cameras and motion sensors. Put armed guards at the exterior.

Why does the peak of our #civilization resemble prison so much?

I would love it if y'all would share with me the kindest media you know of. TV shows would be perfect, but I'll also take books/movies/podcasts/etc, anything as long as it's accessible to a blind person.

I'm not sure how to be more specific about what I'm after, just...narratives where the driving force is kindness. People striving to be good to each other, to better the world, that sort of thing. Stories with big hearts. Any genre.

Boosts appreciated.

so now I have to figure out what enthusiastically wrong action the MC has to take before the big twist in the middle

There is a certain sense of irony in a ship sinking and people dying in an attempt to see a sunken ship where people died.

I had no idea this was in the works and I am so excited to play a remake of Super Mario RPG!

Was pushing my luck in the rough surf today on the boogie board and the sea finally claimed my prescription sunglasses. At least I had them for many years.

Some lessons from the Reddit blackout. https://www.platformer.news/p/what-were-learning-from-the-reddit

I have some friends near Vancouver, maybe I'll try to see if they can get some and send it to me

Anybody in SF have experience with Monkeybrains as an ISP? Curious how the setup was and how it compares to Comcast if so!

I'm gonna try to clear up a few things

Meta is not gonna buy Mastodon or any server, this is based on absolutely nothing and untrue.

Yes, some of us indeed got contacted by Meta/Insta because they are working on a new social platform (this was in the news) and they are looking into joining the Fediverse (Mark Zuckerberg also told this in the recent podcast)

SO.

This contact was about a "heads-up" for a potential big platform to join the network and not for a "take over".

I am full of contradictions.

I love nature but I have bad allergies.

I love mountains but I have acrophobia.

I am attracted to ships but I can't swim.

I love sweets but I have diabetes.

I need people but I am an introvert.

I hate capitalism but I need money to survive.

I hate computers but I can't figure out any other way to live.

I find it really weird people actually like and defend paid cosmetics in full price games. When did this become accepted to the point that gamers will argue for it?

Had a deep discussion about identity last night. Many of us are trapped in the idea that our identity is our job title, salary, and where we live. A cashier and a doctor have identities that are set in stone.

I believe we are much more than that, and that those things only make up a portion of who we are.

What do you think? Are we merely the sum of what we do for a living and where we live? Or is our identity a reflection of our personality, values, and qualities that aren't so visible?
