Really want to earn some extra scratch and buy a SSD upgrade for the Steam Deck. 🙏

I'm very thankful of how simple eBay makes selling things. It's saving my butt right now making some extra cash after some surprise payments popped their heads up last month. I was reminded of that $600 threshold that gets reported though. Heh

Not sure why, but I'm having issues sending zaps in #Amethyst . Not sure why though. Says something like there's an issue on the other users side, but I can see they're receiving zaps.

I slept for 2 hours. Felt my body turn light as air, someone comes into my room and whispers my name to check if I'm awake- I am now. 😑

Oh wow, this recovered a memory of a game that I used to play back on the PSP. Gameplay seems very similar, but the aesthetic style was very different. I can't remember the name of the game though...! View quoted note →

I do remember a time when I saw many articles floating on the net about dedicated typing devices to help prevent distractions. That was also when I learned about Ghost Writer too.

This Steam Deck shell swap is getting hella' tempting.

Eat the bugs and be happy.

Has me thinking of my social media platforms history. I'm trying to remember my MySpace days and what that offered, can't recall much though besides customizing my home page. Facebook afterwards was fun, but juggling the different "friends"became a pain later. There were people you didn't want to see updates from, but didn't want to "unfriend". They fixed that now, but at the time I don't remember if they offered a fix to that. Afterwards I was on Google+ for the longest. They focused on friend circles. You could organize and control how posts were seen by different circles, they offered a bevy of services and apps, like chat, video calling, groups, and events, then tried focusing more on the content than people, and I don't think even THEY could keep up with maintaining all those different features and services. After G+ I tried MeWe which also went with the Facebook model, but with a freemium twist. Everyone had a limited amount of storage they had access to and could pay for added features, like access to host a group page, calls, more storage, as we'll as custom emojis. Couldn't stick with it and tried out the Fediverse. Was an a Mastodon server first then a Pleroma one. That was really fun in the beginning. Finding a server with interesting people to start conversations with and follow, but what got annoying was losing accounts when your server died if you weren't self hosting. That could happen because the person hosting was getting shit from OTHER servers, burnt out administratng, or any reason. I was able to bring friends into the Fediverse, but after losing their home servers twice they lost interest, which was fair. After that it was trying and learning about self hosting a soapbox instance, but that was costing me money, which was becoming tight for me. Nostr has been fun so far. Different and relatively simple. Going to be a bit harder to convince my friends to hop on after their Fediverse experience though. View article →
