I realized many of my favorite games are basically about managing technical debt:
- Tetris
- Lumines
- Splatoon 2: Salmon Run
- CSS

In case you didn't know: you can always get redirected to a working Sci-Hub URL with a tool for Wikidata called Hub (as long as the community keeps Wikidata current. Which they do): https://hub.toolforge.org/Q21980377?property=P856

crypto is short for "cryptography"
if you want a shorter word for "cryptocurrency", the word you are looking for is "ponzi"

A fly was constantly buzzing against the closed window. I moved a few potted cacti to open the window. After a little while, the fly finally flew out.
As I was closing the window, another fly flew in. 🙄
I've finally started posting photos on Flickr again.

Firefox may have lost up to 12% of its users in 2021. We're once again in danger of a single browser dominating the web as in the days of IE. What's worse is that Chrome is owned by a glorified advertisement company.
The Internet is just too important for Google to become the de facto gatekeeper.
And the fact that Chrome is open source really doesn't matter here. Google has tight control over the project. Maintaining a fork would require a herculean effort.

Microsoft should release their new emoji as an open source font. Give Noto Emoji (which I love!) some more competition in the open source world. 😈

"I hear you seek monster-slayers?"
"Yes. There's this centuries-old hoarder of gold, an amoral scourge of the people, with vast power, who even the king dares not challenge directly."
"A dragon?"
"A corporation."

‘Men have a tendency to eat meat so they’re perceived as manly, and changing that gender stereotype could lead to a reduction in carne consumption, according to a UCLA study’
We are living in a climate emergency with animal agriculture being the leading cause of most of the environmental problems that we are facing today. This world urgently needs more selfless protectors and less toxic masculinity: for the animals, the planet & for your own health.

Just finished making this little isometric mini world in #Krita. Been wanting to try this for a while. Made up of photos from Unsplash.
Krita is really, really good for photo editing / manipulation. Non destructive adjustments, perspective warping, easy clipping and masking. Sometimes a little laggy, but a legit alternative to Photoshop.
