I’m the other kind of ADHD : “A package? Thanks for the kind gift past me, I wonder what you got me because I have completely forgotten about it!” Then “Ooooh it’s the thing I couldn’t live without then I forgot all about it! Cool!”

Or just use rust stakeholder, it’s guaranteed to make you look very busy 😄

Wait am I the only one who actually likes WEBP and is cheering for JPEG to finally die ? 😭

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Me trying to explain why I found 2001: A Space Odyssey an excruciating an confusing snoozefest without a single interesting point… while also insisting that Barry Lindon is one of the greatest films ever made : I SWEAR MY OPINION MAKES SENSE

Wait aren’t those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?

Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required

I was listening again to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It gets really hilarious at times

Nope, pretty sure French politics should get a crying face (saying this as a French citizen)

It must have felt very weird to be working to prevent Y2K while everyone else was hoping for a good show, and in the end see people be disappointed instead of impressed because nothing happened 😅

Watching things crash is always more interesting than watching things work perfectly as usual…

• “Oh no everything will crash at the end of 1999 !”
• “Wait nothing happened… but that because it will definitely happen in fact at the end of 2000 ! Because there’s no year 0, we start at year 1, you see”

It was difficult to deal with the disappointment after all the hype 😢

I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

• Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
• What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
• Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
• But it’s clearly blue…
• I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
• I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
• No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
• It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
• A while later
• This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
• Turquoise it is.
• The next time
• Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
• They are green…

Rice cooker saved my life. I add whatever I have lying around that doesn’t require cooking like ham, pickles, canned veggies or fruits, fresh or dried fruits, etc, and if I’m feeling fancy I might boil eggs. Plus mushroom sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce. If you can find black rice in asian supermarkets it’s even better.

I’m going to bed and 7:30 isn’t late… oh wait it’s 7:30 am

Thanks for the tip ! ❤️

yeah my problem is not with having a standard, but with choosing USB-C for it instead of something better.

I get that USB-C was probably the more pragmatic choice since it already existed and a lot of devices were already using it. But I’m still team “Let’s make a new good standard rather than use one that’s just okayish”

Twitter… wait no that would actually a good thing to force people to step back even only for a few seconds

Never tried it but it sounds good !

After further reflection, the hill I’ll die on is that we should replace ALL types of USB by barrel jacks, not only USB-C. Cause circular connectors rule! Make a standard one, I don’t care, as long as I never have to plug a USB-A three times to find the right way.

Thanks for the tip I’ll try that ! I’ve had the same problem on a tablet, but there it was definitely caused by the port being bend out of shape (it won’t be horizontal) so I had assumed it was the same problem on the laptop. But I’ll try cleaning it to see if it fixes it ! I assume a toothpick or something else or wood or plastic would be better than metal ?
