@levisan on mac i just hit option-= to get the real ≠, but if i was writing to coders (or myself about code) i might use !=
can you imagine if notion had a major data loss issue? just had a hiccup where my last month of worklogs weren’t loading on the calendar… and the panic!
maybe i will start to periodically export for peace of mind.
@levisan positive way to frame it for the "old fogies" (which is what i interpreted "mature" meant really, as a polite ephemism)
steve albini's 5 perfect albums, (according to austin kleon) — apple playlist: https://music.apple.com/ca/playlist/production-steve-albini/pl.u-d2b0Z5ZIPg9Nk
@NanoRaptor @JennyFluff with time-release, watch out for long term symptoms of sleep deprivation etc. i switched from regular ritalin (which i’d taken for years) to vyvanse + dex a few years back and it was great (much better than rit) for a few months, but then slowly i started getting audio hallucinations + paranoia. thankfully they faded after switching back to “inferior” ritalin!
you guys know brain worms are not particularly rare, right? there’s a non-zero chance you yourself have had one, especially if you ever ate food prepared by ppl who ever go to tropical countries. tapeworm and hookworm are super common culprits, but others too
found an old photo of myself from back when we were recording the false heroics “salvation navy” album. i miss that cardigan!
@levisan a motto to live by!

@sabbatical We're you're not til not happy!
@mike i wouldnt choose it, for sure! thankfully the team i do web dev/IT work for recently switched from asana to notion! i've been running a notion kanban in parallel to whatever other software my teams have used to keep things straight for myself for ~6yr now, so i'm a happy clam
@mike asana’s not great, but it’s far from the worst! i speak as someone who has been on teams using everything from wrike to teamwork projects to jira to airtable
4 foot dosa @ rangoli for my sister’s birthday — pretty good!
how communists made unbreakable glass (and perhaps predictably, couldnt sell it in the west because it wasnt disposable enough): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEvBpjCOBu0

Discussion of rap beef + child abuse. Seriously you don't need to read this. It's bad.
Trash. Absolute trash.
You can't bring up the fact that someone spoke about being abused as a child, as ammunition in a rap beef. This will upset a lot of people. I said that there were some things that can't be unsaid.
Some of y'all know that in California prisons, child abusers and sex offenders experience extreme violence. But people don't talk about why: a very high percentage of gang youth, are survivors
@ambihelical @levisan same here! some guy in central europe who is into gaming and online gambling often uses my main gmail as his address. it's even set as the fallback for if he cant get into his google account!
@levisan yeah, some places are worse than others i'm sure
