i'm trying to work out whether i saw "the Brave Little Toaster" as an extremely young child, because if i did, i was so young that i only remember a few extremely vague images from the film, and also that i found it very scary, so my parents probably took it away and never showed it to me again. i haven't seen it since but the plot seems to feature what would be called "mild peril" so maybe it checks out

@jk The movie features multiple traumatizing scenes and I have watched it many times as a young child. I have turned out fine

today’s progress in “turn half of the wardrobe into an electronics workspace” is

- screwed some pieces of wood into the wall
- drilled exactly 1 hole
- wired up an LED strip light
- modified the LED strip light’s power supply with a higher sense resistor because it’s way too bright
- re-wired up the LED strip light

i cant wait for python 4 where you type quit in the REPL and it quits rather than recognizing that you want to quit and telling you off and refusing to quit

@jk This is my favourite category of UX: Programs that actually make the effort to figure out what you are trying to do, and then telling you they won't do it.

Especially a fan of:

$ Code/
-bash: Code/: is a directory

Yeah. I know. That's why I typed it in, so you could cd into it.

i wish i had access to that feeling of "meaningful and inspirational introspective melancholy" rather than the way i experience sadness recently which is like "reacting to everything i see by being moderately pissed off about it but having no idea why it actually bothers me so much, and then feeling guilty about my inability to just be chill and positive about stuff"

i have a theory that maybe ive just been too much on the internet this year. ive just seen too much stuff. too much information.
and maybe the way one reacts when confronted with too much stuff is just like... mildly irritated all the time and subtly wanting it to all go away???

is that the true symptom of information overload? when a new thing comes out that you've been looking forward to and your first reaction is "ughhh not more stuff that now exists"
