i know that apple quality assurance has been suffering for a while, but it’s kinda crazy that the new shortcuts app’s gallery search is case sensitive

always interested in self-hosted ways to store/do stuff and especially when it is kinda experimental. gotta keep an eye on perkeep:

maybe would have been funnier if i clapped between ass and hole, i dunno.

i 👏 am 👏 being 👏 condescending 👏 i 👏 am 👏 an 👏 asshole

@audiodude now that i am semi-familiar with your style, wanna give you a little list of albums i think you’d like, maybe with a link to one song from each album for your previewing pleasure. but i’m gonna think about the list a little more.

no hard feelings if you tell me you’d rather i don’t do this.

if humuns need to continue wasting water, as we do, we should at least make toilets and toilet-like appliances self-cleaning or whatever, so we can further pretend we aren’t animals

when your devops people basically force you to use invasive bash scripts that make a lot of assumptions, and it destroys the shell that you live in forever

if you're at all interested in video game mods and bootleg culture, i would super-recommend reading this essay by henrique antero: "impaling mario, reversing sonic: inside pedro paiva's bootleg games". no previous subject matter understanding required.

it has been 346 days since the last episode of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN aired, and it has been 0 days since i rewatched it. it is a deeply upsetting experience, and i treasure it very much.

@insom as a rails person, do you have any favourite go-to resources for learning and getting better at rails stuff? my current personal project is a rails engine, and while it’s going to be simple i want to do everything very right.

looking into encrypting fields so that only the author can view them (diary entries!). the path to doing this right isn’t too scary, but i wish i could find a straight-up tutorial for it. so far i only find abstract-ish docs that are too smart for me.

some of these were re-watches. the most notable re-watch was SICARIO, which was shocking and unpleasant maybe-even-moreso the second time over.
