I laughed, but I wasn’t happy about it.

We should be best friends. 👊

This is one of the most fascinating comments I’ve ever encountered on Lemmy

Yeah man, you’re speaking my language. Back when seeing someone as “online” generally meant they were deliberately there, not just that their phone was on

I’m so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

I’ve been raging lately about the fact that when you put most devices into sleep mode, they begin blinking incessantly. So much for me actually getting any sleep.

We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating

Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories

I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.

The picture looks like two mildly offended Decepticons

Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.

Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I’m actually going to get the thing done.

This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because “Python is just for scripting.”
