type of guy 

Interprets every single direct criticism of their views as a direct personal challenge and affront of their character... even when they weren't even the one being talked about

type of guy 

Absolutely refuses to consider the needs or experiences of someone who doesn't look like them, even if it wouldn't cost them anything to do so, and insists on being Objectively Correct solely because their claims align with their own experiences and beliefs

Most of us are struggling financially rn, it isn't your fault.

days since the ladybird browser was recommended by someone who clearly didn't pay attention: 0

*rots in its bed for the first 7 hours of its day, procrastinating on taking any medication*
"life only consists of eternal depression and there is no saving for such a pathetic broken being as me"

alina after the ADHD meds finally hit: nyoooooooom

technology rant 

@elilla Reminds me of this powerful kunstbüro poster I saw at GPN. It was for an artist talk by @charlotteeifler titled <<IMAGINE ALL TECH IS MADE BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU>>

Didn't see the talk, but that poster stuck with me. Just imagine.

I don't necessarily disagree that phones might be harmful for kids' development.

I just don't know if they're nearly as harmful as say, repeated covid infections, a collapsing biosphere, a justifiably bleak vision of their future, or even a prevalent lack of agency, independence, and spaces for socialisation.

I'd focus on those first. Then phones.

delivery options in the UK:

UPS: our drivers are wearing shorts 365 days of the year. this magically results in packages arriving. we're not sure how this works either.

Royal Mail: is it a letter? we're good at letters. haven't quite got the hang of boxes though.

Yodel: we thought about delivering it and it's the thought that counts.

Evri, wearing a fake moustache and a t-shirt that says "totally not Hermes": your package has been thrown in a bush just off the M6. fuck you.

A while ago, Aldi in NL recalled some cutlery set due to "having sharp edges which can result in injury".

Like, I understand what they were going for there, but I think they could've phrased the problem a little more clearly :blobcatupsidedown:

health 

Yeah so I'm fairly sure by this point that I have *some* form of EDS. But I'm not sure what exactly, and it doesn't help that I don't have the infamous bendy limbs

Guy at the store kept making comments about Monday and although I had been under the assumption that it was Sunday when I headed out this morning, it's hard to keep track this time of year.

So I continued on with my Monday until I reached another stop on my errands, that is closed on Sunday.
🤔
All I know is that it's January.

it's sort of remarkable that despite the entire internet being designed to sell you products these days, the actual process of buying anything on the internet is absolutely awful. like if someone told me 15 years ago that the whole point of the internet would be to sell people things i'd assume that finding what you're looking for would be incredibly easy and every website would look like mcmaster-carr. but instead every website looks like a online casino held together by duct tape and every company is constantly lying to you about everything

hot take, javascript 

There is no justifiable reason for so many different extensible (yet mutually incompatible) bundlers to exist, given how trivial of a task bundling is, and the fact that they *do* all exist should raise some uncomfortable questions about why

i hacked a led backlight into a thinkpad r61 this weekend. was kinda pissed at myself because i did the same thing years ago with a x200, but didn't keep notes, and had to basically reverse-engineer myself. so this time i kept notes, which means that in case you need some guidance for hardware crimes, i got you covered:
