I had a stressful day and I’m on the verge of ordering a new mechanical keyboard to cope. I hate this feeling.

These people saying that, given enough time, they could write as well as Shakespeare is asinine. The idea that I could write plays or sonnets of the quality of Shakespeare’s is as ludicrous a proposition as Shakespeare thinking he could shitpost at my level.

I have been thinking lately.. if there is any significant distinction between humans and other animals I wonder if it is not "consciousness" or even "intelligence" but rather simply that we have a separation of conscious and subconscious minds. It seems to me that most animals are just a direct expression of their subconscious with no conscious component acting as a filter. Or at the very least their conscious component is greatly minimalizaed

I de-activated my Twitter account today. I had decided to keep it without posting a while back, just in case anyone would try to use my handle to write weird stuff and impersonate me, but I realized there’s no way I’m ever going back to Twitter and posting anything there.

If someone impersonates me, well, since Twitter has become so ridiculous and toxic, I’m sure people will accept that it’s not me talking.

I wasn’t using this account, and hadn’t for something like a year, so, bye « X »!

The newest #SteamOS update is setting the scene for the next giant update on #SteamDeck. But, if you are overlocking or dual booting, you may need to set it up again after the update is done.

We're working on removing all Twitter integration from CoffeeGeek.com, starting tomorrow. There's a lot to do.

I have a long thread, a "call to action" to the remaining #coffee community on Twitter, ready to post on October 10th, my last day on that platform.

If it entices any companies, services, charitable organizations, brands, or individuals in the specialty coffee sphere to make the leap here, I know many of you will welcome them with open arms.

Stay tuned! :)
