  The simple hecking image viewer that didn't update in years and I welded into my simple screenshot and image management scripts updated again and completely changed its config format again. You display an image in a blank undecorated window why do you need a whole ass embedded lua for your config format and why do you keep changing the grammar stop it.

  I think if I were to get a tarot deck that's actually maximum "Me" it'd be black with dayglo yellow minimalist representational art. Very simple. Which I imagine is the most heretical thing since most folks want really detailed expressive art on these for engagement sake, but I do not engage visually. I am a purely kinesthetic/feelings creature. I want colors and glyphs that make vee feel things.

  Oh cool, the main dev of Mumble apparently sabotaged a linux distro by pushing tainted/broken packages to deliberately break user systems, following an argument about infrastructure and moderation. A distro he volunteered to work on, that prides itself on being "Anti-DEI"/"Anti-Woke" and embraced XLibre right out of the gate. So shithead joins a pool of shitheads then pisses in the pool and throws a fit on the way out. Or so it seems. I don't trust anyone in this entire...

  The way GDQ handles audio is ingenious but also terrible for a music centric game like this. When they take in a remote run, they have both the runner and the commentator stream to an RTMP server with OBS. What they do though is they have the runner bias their entire game audio to the right channel and the commentator to the left, then use balance to control the game/commentary mix. But it means the game is mono. :<

  Awful morning, good afternoon/evening. I hung out with someone I've been working with on community stream projects for almost 10 years now for the first time. They were in town for something else and when mentioning their travels I got to go "Yo, you're literally 8 miles from where I live, we're doing something" I've been up since 2am. Someone hecking force vee to bed.

  This appeared in my brain and now I have to inflict it on all of you.

  Reflecting on the most incendiary thing I ever said today: "Have you considered just moving the cat?"

  I had a conversation with a writer the other day about how one of the main ways writers prep epubs is to write in HTML then convert using Pandoc or similar. Well this spiraled out into an entire Thing about semantic HTML and webdev and how everything says all of your styling should be in CSS and... you know, that's for web, not for source files for epub conversion. I had much the same problems when I started using HTML/CSS to do broadcast graphic design. The style is the data. So those out...

  2026 feels in a nutshell. But mostly this RPG Maker game dialog box amuses the heck out of vee for some reason.

  "Let governments regulate computers, there'll always be a way around it" mentality annoys vee. Sure, I do believe there'll always be a way. That way will be limited to the top 5% of technical capability and/or involve dangerous hacks that reduce security or require trusting some random (probably now illegal) website to run processes and code on your box to make that way happen. I was just telling someone yesterday that hypervisor hacks to run unsigned code to circumvent Denuv...
