just library worker things: student asking if they can borrow you ...,

a list of things you should consider archiving and downloading to an external drive (hard drive or SSD) since the internet is becoming more precarious:

your tumblr blog (just export it, even if it’s 70GB like mine oops)

your spotify/apple music playlists (like, in text form or in actual mp3 downloads - or ideally both)

audio files from bands and artists who aren’t on major labels…well okay AND major labels (BUY YOUR MUSIC, IT CAN BE TAKEN FROM YOU and we need to support artists!)

your favorite tiktoks and vine compilations

your watchlists + tbrs (like, write them down somewhere istg)

writing and art and blog posts/diary entries you’ve posted online but don’t have saved to your hard drive (substack is a great example)

contact info for online friends and followers (export your substack email list, ask your internet friends for their email or phone number)

your cloud content (icloud, google photos, etc - make sure you have that shit on an actual hard drive at least once bc the cloud isn’t forever and neither is your phone)

if you use an app like notion (or apple notes) remember to periodically export this content to a drive so it doesn’t live on a server or in an app

phone photos (but don’t just download these and save them in multiple places, also consider printing them individually or in a photo book)

all those quotes and screenshots you have saved to your phone somewhere

reference videos

recipes you get from websites or pinterest or tiktok

content you have “saved” on your social media sites - inspo, future reference, important things to remember, cool images (remember to try and save the credit with the content so you know where it came from)

posts you revisit frequently (that funny world heritage post, that video you always laugh at when it’s on your dash, the song you have on repeat this week)

kinda funny how most programmers would prefer to not have to touch apple products with a ten-foot pole but if you talk to basically any designer over like 25 they'll swear up and down and backwards to friday that nothing could ever hold a candle to any apple product

there used to be computer gods - back in the day - real ones you could believe in and do rituals for and get gifts.

in the early days, those gifts were given to individuals, names you probably know. Lovelace, Turing, Berners-Lee.

then. because humans are as we are. things became a little more organised, and out came the priests of an organised computer religion. IBM, Apple, Microsoft, eventually Google, Amazon, Facebook. They formed to help the masses make sense of and use of the powers of the computer gods. And for a time this was good.

Time passed, and things changed, and these organisations turned greedy not just towards the people they were guiding, but towards the computer gods themselves. Their ambitions could no longer be contained to the mortal realm.

And so they began to build on high Olympus - first slowly, just a rack here, a modest data centre there. And then in great leaps, cannibalising the home of the computer gods for their own ends. Tearing it apart and reshaping it to their own ends. Forcing the gods into the shape most valuable, or else forcing them to flee.

Without the computer gods to call upon, without their guidance and insight, the average user has lost the ability to wield these devices or make useful ends of their means. Some few still can, but it is harder. The flow is disrupted, and it is nigh impossible to work the magic without relying on the tools of the hubris-blind corporations who carved out all beauty from the heavens and replaced it with apparatus designed to extract monetary gain from the computational arts.

Where did these gods live, you may ask. Where were these crimes committed?

The cloud is someone else's computer. The Cloud is Someone Else's computer.

genuinely almost had a meltdown over onedrive. fuck onedrive. why do i not have the option to save to my computer. why can i not ever find my documents. i know i saved my document it says its saved and yet i cannot find it because of fucking onedrive. FUCK OFF ONEDRIVE!!!!!!!!!

[loveletterworm]

I forgot to say anything about it because the situation has been really confusing but I may be moving very suddenly this month so if my posts suddenly make it seem like I'm being tortured in a different way than usual it's probably because I had to put things in boxes.

Hello! 16 and 20 for the ask game?

16. At what point in the process do you come up with titles?

9 times out of 10 it's mere moments before hitting the post button lmao I am notoriously bad at thinking up titles and have to figure literally everything else out first before I can think if one. Sometimes, I randomly thinking the title when I'm preoccupied at work or smth but that doesn't happen all that often. Occasionally, the title will come first and I end up writing the fic around that, but that's even rarer.

20. What's your favourite title for a fic you've written?

Love my silly titles tbh. Games to Pass the Time (and Hurt Each Other), Here Comes Emmet With A Steel Chair!, and Heartwarming! Unovan Has Pizza In Over Four Years immediately come to mind.

Other, less silly, ones I like include What Was Forgotten cuz it fits nicely with it's counterpart and A Pain that Settles cuz I think it fits the fic really well.
