oh yeah, and the night before I finished reading all of the yokohama kaidashi kikou manga. it was a fun read! my headspace is a little odd right now so i don't think i was able to fully receive the iyashi vibes it's supposed to give offbut yeah still by all means a great read.
i was using youtube's mobile site and found a comment i wanted to save. they wouldn't let me copy and paste until i switched to a desktop view. ughhhhh
i never knew what the last two words to that "shave and a haircut" thing were until just now. ...but how did i even know the first four words to begin with?
@hosford42 yeah, that makes sense. i actually had a few false starts with it. first time i couldn't wrap my head around it. another time, i forgot about it. a different time, i tried engaging with the streak feature, broke a big streak and got so angry i cold quit and stopped using it for years. when i decided to use it again, i thought I'd try to have a big widget on my phone's home screen as a reminder. if it stayed as an app icon, I'd probably forget it about it again at some point.
@hosford42 i use an app called todoist because it affords me cognitive offloading and agency over when i do my tasks. i tag names of long-term projects with an "ongoing" tag. i keep subtasks and notes under those main tasks. when a project i had a fiery passion for fizzles out, it'll still be around to remind me about its existence months later for triage and i can either pick it back up or throw it in the figurative dumpster.
it's a big widget on my phone's home screen so i am always aware of it. i had to train my self-discipline to not make the widget fade into the background noise. the effort ended up being worth it for me. i can also pick up my phone and send "freeze food tom" quickly for a task to freeze my leftover chicken tomorrow.
i use the free plan so i can only set "do dues" and not "due dates" but jotting deadlines down in the same task helps. as well as separating tasks into subtasks with specific dates. you can very easily manipulate your task dates as needed and there is also an "upcoming" view to help with time perspective. my time blindness is bothersome so it helps to be able to frontload this effort on assigning dates for me. it also works for me because it's not a rigid calendar/schedule.
i named a specific app there but any app or pen-and-paper system that can tag, set reminders times, and priority works.
one of the latest lutris updates broke clip studio paint and i have no idea how to fix it other than restoring my entire pc from a backup. i tried pinning the flatpak package because i mistakenly thought pinning would stop updates but obviously? it didn't work.
balatro is pretty cool though it kinda lost me after beating the initial run. maybe i just need some time away from it. i wonder why unlocking the rest of the stuff doesn't feel that compelling to me atm
not that i've read ars technica in any capacity as of late but now that it's basically explicit they let their writers use AI at all, what from them can you trust?
