fewer open computer technologies should be made by silicon valley corporations. they should be made the way god intended, by severely uncharismatic nordic men

I'm gonna make a batch script that converts a WEBP to a PNG file then deletes the WEBP file, set that as the default program for WEBP files, and I'm never going to be haunted by one again.

games journalism:

"review embargo is: yesterday"
"writing directly into CMS"
"entirely monosyllabic interview replies"
"saved image as .webp"

games writing:

"we need more barks"
"let's make it episodic!"
"we want Whedonesque dialogue"
"script lock deadline: yesterday"

windows 11 has a very small start menu so you can't have a nice easy layout to arrange the apps you use but it has made room to highlight the programs it automatically installs to your computer every three hours named things like "microsoft toilet"
