whoops i forgot to take pictures while playing netrunner. maybe next time. i got to test a version of mercury using twinning that was total dogshit and got in its own way but i did get to access 5 cards once which is super funny.

lol that's so broken i need to fix it

i write a lot of my post drafts in the app Drafts[^1], but here's some drafts that didn't make the cut or like i forgot or something

i used to have a pretty nightmarish read later system, until kobo said they were going to integrate with instapaper due to the pocket shutdown. then i switched over to instapaper for everything.

On "This didn't need to be a content warning"

Something I've seen an amount of on Cohost is the refrain, "I hate it when posts use content warnings for stuff that could've been tags", and there's been some confusion as to why. This is my attempt at explaining a few points in favor of avoiding content warnings.

Cohost has multiple systems of labeling, filtering, and gating off posts. (This is the big one.)

i have no idea what the fuck i was cooking with here. this was written about a year and a half ago, while cohost still existed. reading the other paragraph i had here, right below the crop, it seems to have been a post on how you should just use tags or something. i think i was just annoyed at people using mastodon-style content warnings and wanted to write a big callout post complaining about it. probably for the best i didn't finish it.

Pocket on Kobo is the stuff of nightmares

Imagine, if you will, being a precocious little kid who loves to read articles on read later apps on your phone. You are also a precocious little kid who loves to read books on an e-reader, which your father let you borrow so you could read every Ender's Game book. One day, you stumble uncross an animal paw, one that feels important and magical. You don't think much of it, but some way somehow, you decide to make a wish. One that holds all of your hopes and dreams, and one that you would soon come to regret. "Gee willikers, I sure do wish that I could read those articles on my read later app on my phone on an e-reader!"

And the monkey's paw curls.

this could've been something maybe but then pocket shut down, showing i was right all along and pocket sucks really bad. i think the inspiration for this was me trying to upload an article from verso to pocket and i literally could not make it work.

that reminds me, i need to write a post about how i handled adding comments to my blog. hoping that someone could point out any limitations and risks before i find them out the hard way

thinking about how my comments stuff doesn't have shadows. the leave a comment box and the comments themselves 😔 it's so tragic.

i may not be able to help you do your taxes but if you ever need a 4/10 isekai recommendation im your girl

i will be at sgdq (like physically not playing the games)! please message me through some form or another if you wanna meet up!

someone should invite me to be a part of their webring

something i feel deeply in my heart is that neo in netrunner be perfect a number of years down the line. just the perfect balance of big non-rotating cardpool with only nsg cards and accessibility where you can just get all the cards easily and affordably. peak.
