I am starting to form a dislike for "mindfulness"
not the practice of meditation, which I find very helpful and think is positive. But "mindfulness". The industry of it. "mindfulness" is what your boss schedules into the work day as a way to claim they are supporting you and not exploiting you. "mindfulness" is what the overworked nurse tells you to do because the health system is fucked and you can't afford therapy. "mindfulness" is sold in apps with monthly subscriptions that are designed to make you believe that they are helping you more than they are, to turn a profit.

Fuck "mindfulness". You do not need any of that shit. Just meditate.
take some time in your day. breathe deeply, focus on your breathing, a mantra, or anything else. notice thoughts as they happen, let them pass as you return to your focus. You can also try self hypnosis, if you want to take things a step further. Don't do "mindfulness". just meditate.

I've slept on puredata for so long. I used to hate it, and it's definitely not without its shortcomings, but I've been having real fun working with it lately.

Day 2 of getting the A600 up and running.

Going to open it up again and see if anything got pushed out of its connection when I closed the case yesterday. Trying to get it back to a working condition again and go from there.

Mouse should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow. Ordered a SCART/HDMI converter as a backup to the piggyback card moving forward.

"Nice gender, did you pay for that or did you download the cracked version?"

Oh absolutely

a screen recording of a fake keygen crack program. the title reads "GENDER PATCHER 2K24", below is rainbow text which reads "WAVETABLE CYMRU" on a pool water background image. underneath is the text "--==GENDER PATCHER==--". below that is a purple gradient plasma effect cycling between 4 different patterns. under that is a progress bar, a text entry box and two buttons labelled "PATCH" and "QUIT". on the bottom there are three checkboxes, labelled "Auto Update", "Unlimited Blahaj" and "Double Jump"

so apparently that phrase i've often been hearing recently isn't actually about a "sorted past". instead, the past in question has been "sordid" all along. now, "sorted" at least is clearly a word, and my way of making sense of if was to think the past in question had a assortment of things in it, good and bad. like a spotted past but perhaps more varied.

Planning to take a holiday from social media after Nova again this year. I'm not as burned out by it as I was last time, but why wait till you're burned out to have a holiday?

I was thinking of setting up a PO box, so you can write to me IRL/I can write back if I am so disposed. Maybe swap mixtapes/ floppy disks. Could be fun.

Realised as this was week 45 of the #FridaySparklyDancers there's another grid full!

The earlier 4 are here ⬇️
https://things.uk/@eclectech/112100225723504811

Thread also contains discussion about a collaborative version. Still planning on doing that if someone wants to join in. Doesn't matter how many. It will be silly & fun.

Still 7 weeks to go, but as it will need some planning let's pick a hashtag now. Follow it if you want to join in! 🕺 💃

#FridaySparklyDanceParty

A square grid of 9 blocks of different colours, each numbered (37 to 45). Each box contains a simple animated black and white figure doing something resembling a dance move.
