@danirabbit@mastodon.online YES. It'd be nice if our options weren't "dismal status quo" or "fascist hellscape".

I've been off social media for a decade because things were getting too spicy in 2016. I'm sure it's resolved itself now.

I think there must be a whole field of study dedicated to making shitty, ambiguous form controls, but this might be the most egregious I've seen.

@jezra@pleroma.jezra.net 100% - I haven't been able to escape it at all. I was just commenting on how unhealthy it was.
I would love to have some alternatives; most of our driving is unavoidable. :(

@jezra@pleroma.jezra.net I feel like avoiding time driving, especially in California, is good for anybody's health.
I just heard my server reboot itself for the second time this week.
Guess I'll start looking into that RAM error I noticed a few months ago. :(
I love aimless Saturdays. I would spend all my time "puttering" (as my wife calls it) if I could ; clearing out browser tabs, falling down rabbit holes...
I even managed to document one of those rabbit holes on the blog: https://fragdev.com/blog/workarounds-for-issues-in-formiko-markdown-editor
@hobbs@dobbs.town #getfedihired seems pretty brisk, maybe worth a look? :)
Another day, another unwanted AI "feature" that's impossible to hide.
I don't care if you like AI or not, but if I can't easily hide/disable it in your software? I will avoid your software.

@rusty1@mastodon.sdf.org Sway/i3 have been my choice for a long time. I'm on an older laptop with integrated graphics, so I like to keep it light as well. :)
I'm using alacritty right now, but have used kitty in the past. I used to get lots of issues when SSH'd into older boxes that did not have the terminfo for kitty. Good terminal emulator, though! :)
I'm comfortable enough with my Sway setup that I'm starting to scrutinize my terminal fonts. It'll be color schemes next.
I've always got to fidget with something.
I just moved my home network to a /21 subnet - giving me 8x IPv4 addresses. I have 10.0.0.x saved for network/server hardware, 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x for VM servers (hosted by VM1 and VM2), and now I don't need stupid manual routes and local DNS should work everywhere. :)
IPv6 remains more addresses than I could ever imagine a use for, so it's good. It should also work better, because there's fewer virtual networks and crap in the way. :)

@ombialik I'd recommend @davidrevoy and @OhJoySexToy, they seem to overlap some of your interests :)
I've been finding big scratches/scars on my right outer calf, and assumed my wife was getting well-deserved revenge as we slept.
Today, I realized that I've been doing it myself - while walking my daughter to school, walking my bicycle next to me. I've been hitting myself in the leg with the pedals without realizing!
Mystery solved. :)
Another day, another "just barely outrunning the respiratory bug knocking out the rest of my family".

@hobbs This is the first time I've heard of OpenTofu, or the term devoops, both of which I love. Many thanks. :D

@lnxw37a2@pleroma.soykaf.com The march of time is an intimidating force.
This year I realized that, on average, I'll be making two trips home a year from now on - one to visit, and one for a funeral.
It certainly puts a different perspective on the visits. :)

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org I love that the Fediverse looks at a enchanting scene of a mice army, complete with bottle cap shields and lizard/bird mounts, surrounding a sleeping fairy...
...and immediately jumps to "That six-sided die in the corner seems unrealistic." :)
