WOW the art for the Death Note inspired deck is so cool!! And not gonna lie, I'm really tempted by that oracle deck too, it looks so fun!

Right?? I was really digging that artist's work, then I saw that Death Note deck in their shop! The oracle deck is cute, appeals to the inner child (and girlhood imo), if you subscribe to that sort of thinking. Been meaning to write a description for each deck, that one included. Haven't gotten much use out of it yet. It's almost too positive for me, lol.

Coffee makers deserve thanks. Mine gurgles when I take too long to finish a pot on a work from home day, and I imagine it is pouting at being ignored.

What you wrote in the edit to #37 is so true. The "meaning" of the past is never fixed. Maybe this is a corny metaphor, but if we imagine the past as soil and ourselves as plants growing out of it, in the short term it might seem the soil is always static and only plants change, but in the long term, the plants break down rocks in the soil, insert nutrients (or use them up) and so on.

I encountered this quote from the historian E. H. Carr in the epigraph to Hua Hsu’s (excellent!) book Stay True: “Only the future can provide the key to the interpretation of the past; and it is only in this sense that we can speak of an ultimate objectivity in history. It is at once the justification and the explanation of history that the past throws light on the future, and the future throws light on the past.”

tech rules rule (for lack of a better word), and i love the noticing page. both in terms of design and observations. reminds me of this quote that reality will suprise you if you pay attention to it. really cool to hear your thoughts on tech and you're right - we can just keep picking ourselves up again <3

Deeply relating to your 37th microblog; my family dynamic sounds very similar to yours , unfortunately for the both of us. I recently found out my sister is having another baby through the grapevine , as she has not spoken a word to me in months, and while my father lamented over it.. I found I didn't care much! If there's little seed planted, there's even littler Grief to sprout. Love from another black sheep..

i was reading your thoughts archive & i agree with your stuff on foss fans. while i do have a degoogling post, i don't use linux at all. don't get me wrong, i get why some people love it. but the thing i always go back to is convience. sure, customizing its look & not have your data stolen sounds cool. but i don't wanna lose all the stuff i downloaded, or install apps 7 diff ways or learn 50 command prompts

okay yeah that was a rant in response to some other folks -- like, the thing that really bugs me is, as mentioned, that it is a fandom, not a movement. it's tech for tech's sake and the only use cases they care about are each other. So if you're like me and would love to de-Google and use Linux and stuff, but need to have a phone that works on phone plans and Office backwards compatibility for work, then, uh...

yeye, fortunately my last job used libreoffice if you can believe it. but like the best way to promote foss is to have sites or programs that are just better. for example, my brother doesn't care abt foss & has given up on privacy. but he still uses firefox as his default bc chrome eats up sm ram.

sometimes i feel pressure to use linux, like "i dont REALLY care about privacy if i still use windows/android as my main os" even though i'm doing everything else i can. including using privacy conscious settings for windows & android

exactly, re: functionality. I love Firefox and FreeTube, but LibreOffice doesndoesn't do the visual and format features I need, I've never met an OSM client that doesn't suck at road navigation, and I'm sticking with Ecosia BC all the more "private" search engines have had shit results. a lot of the "alternatives" are just unacceptably weaker or don't work for what I need

also, documentation is kind of a huge problem. you basically can't get support through any means except forums and socials, and most users who need to Use Their Computer For Things don't have time for the arcana. (speaking of Using Your Compoter For Things, can we agree that "dephoning" is stupid for anyone who doesn't live in their mom's basement?)

it's all just showing off that you have the privilege to carry around 5 different inefficient devices (also that's a lot of e-waste) and do jailbreaking and arcane documentation and all that bullshit. it's showing off. it's a fandom. it's an aesthetic. any movement that doesn't actually meet or care about people's needs outside of its privileged uber-online core audience can never be anything but.

it's a bunch of individualist punchy algorithmic aesthetic Tumblr bullshit that does exactly nothing to actually change tech ecosystems or fight problems. it's like telling someone for whom walmart is their only grocery store to "simply don't shop there". if you like playing with and showing off tech as a hobby, fine, but if you're not gonna address folks' computer needs except your bubble don't call it a "solution".

yeah calls to boycott stuff are nice and all. but the fact is: since big tech propriety software has more funding, it's a requirement for certain jobs & they're able to put that money into features, gimmicks, and ui design (even if a lot of big tech is getting worse). plus i agree that osm clients suck at navigation even if i still use them.

plus big tech tends to put their trackers on other websites, so unless you have a really good content/tracker/script blocker, you're probably still funding them in some way.

ngl i havent seen enough media to see EITHER a trans struggle story or a trans instant acceptance story /srs. i have only seen characters that aren't properly confirmed trans but vaguely implied

re:33, this was part of my impetus to create my trans books page. even as someone who enjoys horror and otherwise dark/fucked-up stories, it's really disappointing that transphobia (external or internal) is so often the main conflict any time a trans character is featured. many authors don't seem to grasp that transphobia is an ADDITIONAL problem that trans people have to deal with, not the ONLY problem

I was so blown away when I watched Talk to Me (2022) and it featured a character that was openly transmasc and this was treated as a non issue. They were just another character in the film, in their own words "not a theme, just a person"

in terms of my own story, the main character is nonbinary and depending on your reading you can see how this impacts their sense of isolation. however their story isn't really explicitly about being trans, it's about a bunch of other things instead. it's just a background element. so i suppose it's being accepted..? but they're lonely so hmm

@jaidenle dw it's fine. i just think it's funny because i dont see neocities as "techbro" shit at all (depending on your definition ofc). if anything he should have called my interest in i2p or freetube "techbro shit" because at least their fanbases are what most ppl think when they hear "techbro"
