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.

Since I've been struggling to understand them for quite some time now, I've written an article about Guile-OpenGL. The bindings aren't particularly challenging to figure out, but there are so few articles about them and I haven't uploaded in ages.

This is my first status update on Functional.cafe 😃 I'll be geeking out about Lisp related rubbish & some IRL nonsense, so don't mind me, thank you.😕

Oh, the link

I’d just like to interject for a moment...

Yet another lunch interview, and another resume sent out.

I'd say I'm getting tired of these but free lunch is always nice.

Vote day today.

Jeez I still gotta see what parties are out there.

I don't know anything about black holes, but I've heard this one a few times:

"You can't really see a black hole"

Hey, news article writers, you can't really "see" *any* hole! It's not that spooky.

I like 480p and believe it's the "hot spot" resolution for the modern Web.

But hey, let's all just upload:
"Trees Waving in the Wind - 8K 120FPS 10-Hour Loop!"

I think conventional forum sites hold a much higher level of user experience & integrity than unified forums (like Reddit) or social media (Fediverse).

Maybe not "higher" but "different".

Having to access the domain, create a unique account, and fill out a "Captcha" box is something very few spammers/trolls would care about doing, whereas on Reddit you already have access to every other sub around.

I kind of miss the old forums I used to be active in (even though I was usually "the idiot" 😅).

I know it's a bit early, but the Halloween theme for my website is coming along well. It'll be perfect by the time October rolls around!

Slowly making progress...

Now when there's a self-proclaimed genius on the Internet who's obviously factually incorrect (and with way too many upvotes), I no longer feel the need to reply (and when I do, it's with a softer tone, at least)!

According to #ASUS, it's ergonomically efficient to tilt your wrists *upward*!

I may not be an expert in ergonomics, but I strongly disagree with Asus. Upward-tilting keyboards are so the typist can see button labels, but they *DO* put strain on your wrists. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

I don't think anyone really gives a crap about your site being "W3C HTML CERTIFIED!"

I can relate strongly to this dragon.

cnn.com tells you the weather at the bottom of the page, because of course #CNN is /everyone's/ go-to weather network!!

"Telling kids that wood comes from trees, then cut, then shipped, then sold, can confuse them. To turn this into a more easily digestible topic, let us just say that wood comes from Home Depot."

Also my 'guix pull && guix package -u' finished, but it seems to be on an older version. It "upgraded" me from Nano 3.4 to Nano 2.9!

Ah, whatever. I'm in no hurry.
