depression overflow
Got so much seasonal depression I stopped posting. Then I got so much more that I looped around to posting again.

I hate when I'm walking and there's a bird ahead and it tries to get away but it just flies further in the direction I'm going so it has to keep flying and landing and flying and landing and now the bird thinks I'm a weird bird stalker and will probably tell all the other birds😔

birdie save me not from the burden of work emails but from

a. meetings without an agenda
b. emails without a head or a tail to it's message
c. slack messages where a legitimate response is xyproblem.info or nohello.net/en/ but the other person may take offense if you do so

also "Good luck Birdie"

i cannot fucking BELIEVE how good this is. what the fuck. emergent storytelling is beautiful
We ended up accidentally watching this whole video yesterday, and against all odds, it ended up being one of the greatest pieces of cinema I've ever experienced:

hey @tailscale.com is there any way to access the mullvad socks5 proxy over tailscale?

mullvad.net/en/help/sock...

wiki dont have it tailscale.com/kb/1258/mull...

(i.e., i do not want to use exit node, but be able to point to socks5://mullvad-exit.xxx.ts.net:1080 or something)

Put together a little web game from an archive of 13,000+ The Indian Express front pages dating back to 1933.

Can you guess the year from old newspaper headlines? It's a lot tougher to play than I thought, but enjoyed reading so many old front pages!

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.

Because I care about people.

You dipshit.
