@Osmose This is one of the reasons I've never finished Hollow Knight, despite absolutely adoring that game.
It went from a sorta challenging game with some really charming stuff to explore - to an abrupt shift into git-gud nightmare platforming
Watching a YouTube doco on Disney's old Worldkey in-park information system.
Getting a weird vibe of stuff that looked like The Future when I was a kid that appears cringingly dated now.
Makes me wonder which futuristic-seeming things around now will look cringe in another few decades?
Although, it doesn't seem like we're in quite as much of a techno-optimist mood about the future these days?
@Osmose A lot of games like that appeal to the novelty-seeking of my ADHD with the exploration and revealing neat stuff - but then slam me into a wall of tedium as soon as they want me to git-gud and drill repeatedly against failure to pass a challenge.
It's like two different games and I'm only in the mood to play one of them. Sometimes I'm in the mood to play the other or both, but not always or often
From 3 months ago, "Big tech is betting tens of billions of dollars on AI being the next big thing, but what if it isn't?" :blobgrimace:
Still a rough work in progress but the Live Bookmarks thing I built in Pebbling Club is starting to shape up as a daily-driver feed reader for me. Hoping to look at hooking it up to a mastodon account next, if only as a link inbox to start
Also quite a ways from even thinking about other folks using this thing yet. But I have a vague hope of getting it more polished by the end of the year if any adventurous souls feel like abusing my code
I've also been peeking at a bunch of other bookmarking services & projects. Seems like the thing they don't tend to have, that I want to build, is two-way link exchange and social-powered search.
Most services I'm seeing seem to lean into archival utility and read-it-later features that build a personal hoard. What I really want is reciprocal "look at the neat thing I found" sharing
Again, we'll see how long my ADHD-powered interest level holds out on this project 😅
@skinnylatte living the dream
@kf Hmm, I should really try making it out of my hermitage to something like this. And it's only like a 10 minute bike ride away 🤔
So I'm playing around with an app on fly.io that needs to run occasional scheduled tasks. I haven't quite figured out how to use scheduled machines there yet. So, I just installed flyctl on my home NAS and have a cronjob to start a machine to run a command periodically. There, I fixed it. Future me gets to improve it.
I'm in some mandatory company training on the topic of trust. I have not yet found an appropriate time or place to assert "snitches get stitches" but I am vigilant for the opportunity.
