I generally see my microblog posts to be pretty normal, but my mother asks me about the things I say on here in a very concerned way.
Hi mom. This list is pinned for you to help get rid of some confusion

* GNU is not a drug

* I cannot download drugs

* I am not suicidal, it is just part of the joke.

* I am grammatically incorrect, not mentally ill.

* I am not part of a gang.

* The flashing button that says "Fix my computer" is NOT to be pressed.

* I may not always show it, but I love you.

The website for Oikospiel is the stuff of dreams. This is how #JavaScript is *supposed* to be used. I actually *like* the JS on this site (yes, me!)
The #CSS is super simple, too.
I'm so sad the game isn't available on #GNU / #Linux, though (I really like David Kanaga's music).

Happy father's day. I love you, dad!

One of the few people at #Cisco who is genuinely an awesome person (i.e. cares about standards-compliance over proprietary protocols)

Okay maybe this is just about "muh free speech", but it's not a
"waah unban me"
post, but rather a
"huh, it's pretty cool how efficiently decentralization works!"
post. I know the design is something we all already know about, but it still amazes me.

I mean, there's more to this than just "muh free speech".

This is why I love the fediverse. Muting me on impulse or due to an overreaction is totally okay, because I still have millions of other amazing people to talk to!

The fediverse is fixed by default, unlike /other/ platforms, where, if something like this happened, I'd have to start over either on a new account or different platform.

Random person: Crime is good!

Me: What about pedophilia?

Mastodon.social: Wait, that's illegal.

I didn't even notice "yor", which just shows you how high quality this comic is 👍

Okay here's a comic.

"If YOUR system was built with MY language, you wouldn't HAVE that problem."

-The intro chapter to every language-specific book.

Built one! Still Can't do an Ollie, but it feels good to do something besides computer science for once.

(Of course, one of my main motives is to better understand how a piece of intelligence "unconsciously" learns new skills via repetition & negative reaction, so arguably this is just algorithm research)

I need looser-fitting pants.

#Skateboard #Skateboarding

Maybe I should try #skateboarding.

I finally started reading "On the Shoulders of Giants". Just a bit here & there.

It starts off with Copernicus. In just 5 pages it gave me a short but comprehensive bio of who Copernicus was. It's really well written, I wasn't expecting to learn so much in a few minutes.

I'm sure we all have this person in our lives:

"If you don't laugh at my jokes, it's because you're either too innocent or too dumb to understand them."

(where "their jokes" are about as complex as fart noises.)

I might temporarily change my avatar to this. Not now, but someday.

So this magazine came with the "Days Gone" soundtrack.
I put it in expecting an action-packed zombie shooter OST, but...

#NowPlaying

Can't paste text in #Fedilab and now I'm sad. Well, good night, world. 🛏

I'm glad #Haunt and #Artanis exist, cause they give me an insight on how to use the #Guile web modules.

I'm planning on making a forum software package in Guile because I want to better understand how Guile can be used in a client/server sort of way.

It'll either be half-baked or totally non-existent, but it's another project I'll add to the bin.
