In the 90's before I was doing it professionally, I used to go on massive 10 - 15 hour binge programming sessions only stopping when I realized I hadn't eaten in that entire time. It was some of the best fun I've ever had. But it happened rarely and organically, not 5 days a week on a predetermined schedule.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

  1. Every day is a day I'd rather have off.
  2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

And the old memes trend is that time the band did a bunch of coffee shop shows playing nothing but ukuleles.

I'm sure this won't have any chilling effects amongst the researchers who keep us all safe.

Edit to add that Johnson & Johnson is/was also trying to use patent loopholes to make sure poor people die from tuberculosis; until the internet got mad.

Sometime I think the Mayan calendar people were right. The world ended in 2012, it's just a slower process than John Cusack movies would lead us to believe.

And now the change had the inertia. There's no stopping it now.

Wine + Wayland for sure. It's time to let X11 rest, it's earned it.

I use Pop_OS because I really like having so much much GUI control via the keyboard. I'm patiently waiting for Cosmic to update things a bit.

Deja Dup backs my local machines to my Synology NAS. That uses Hyper-backup to send everything to Dropbox.

This is at least the 4th official microsoft font I've been around for. What a time to be alive!

I run a multidimensional (Sliders-like) campaign, and every time the players do a transit they are given a momentary glance at another reality. My personal favorite of these has been:

For a moment you're all sat around a table. The smell of pasta and garlic hang strongly in the air. You have this sensation that, while you're here, you're family. Someone one sets down a basket of bread sticks... and you arrive at your destination.
