The commodification of hobby-level art is the true villain here. And I say this as someone who does hobby-level art as my day job. All I truly want to do is sit around and draw stuff I like all day without having to worry if my basic needs for food and shelter are being met. Even when it was my sole income stream, I still gave out free art all the time because for me even when it's been about the money, it's always been foremost about creating. I want to create things because they're striking, not because I'm hungry. Capitalism really rotted our brains into thinking all of our talents need to be marketable side hustles because we're all temporarily embarrassed millionaires who just haven't had our lucky break yet. Meanwhile we're all too busy treading water trying to stay economically afloat to be rational about anything that threatens what little we DO have

coworker: "hot tip on how to do X thing!"

me: is it a "hot tip" or is it a common functionality that's easily visible if someone actually read the page?

coworker: it's a hot tip!

Open it up.

It's a common functionality.

everything sucks forever, yes, but ALSO i discovered the app ManaBox today, which lets me use my phone to scan MtG cards and log them in a database instead of me having to enter them all manually into archidekt. this is going to save me so much time.....

i think it is once again time for me to write a little python script to deal with this exam score nonsense

I need a better system for keeping track of why I'm not following/blocked someone because my brain is no longer cutting it

Was [blogger] mostly posting about things that don't interest me, so its better to get things that filter through my mutuals? Or where they annoying at some point? Did [other blogger] say something that made me uncomfortable and I don't want to be around that? If, so; what was it and do I still care? Did [so and so] do something racist or transmisogynistic?

And so forth

this chem software is infuriatingly proprietary

I knew I was going to have to deal with this down the line because it was obvious this data wasn't being managed correctly; I hoped it was. but it wasn't, and now I'm opening each file and writing down metadata.

Pretty sure there's python code to do this metadata collection, and I'm a little annoyed I'm not better at coding to whip something up to circumvent the way this was organized. It's one of those things where it'd take longer to put the script together than just cranking through. Plus learning a new library is a pain. Ideally I won't have to repeat this process either; when I do it myself I'll know how to manage it.

apps really need to stop being so voracious when it comes to my data. i just discovered the bus schedule app for my town has full access to my contact list for no reason. why do you need to know my contacts???? your only job is to give me bus schedules. why was it toggled on by DEFAULT?!

another thing they don't tell you about work is that you also have to get used to file formats you've never even heard of before

hey btw you can download all the messages you've sent on discord (NOT ones you received). this may be useful if you wrote something on there. its under privacy options and takes a few days. and it's in the form of one CSV file per chatlog. notepad can open those

do you have an account for firefox? it should save your data and sync it across when you have to reinstall. thats shit though that firefox is giving you grief

maybe I'm stupid, because yes I do. and it even gives me a folder with old firefox data when I reinstall. but it does not work in a sense that I still need to relog into everything...
