no matter which way you slice it, setting up raid is expensive. the drives are dear.
Alexa purchase a dueling fates novelty car horn.
if they pronounced "neom" like they pronounce "meow" would that make you more positive towards it?
The total annihilation ost goes hard.
when you are listening to a song thinking it sounds amazing but then you realise you're listening at 2x speed.
Many people here are off the big web entirely. I'm not but I would say the spell is broken. The addiction is gone. I heard Bo Burnham's "All eyes on me" again and it sounded like a eulogy. I felt sick, every word reflecting a past I was party to. I know what he's saying. I know what it means, and that shames me. But I also feel free of it.
I'm catching up on the gemini reading and finally got to the wearing dresses discussion. I must say I'm off the opinion that dresses are like capes in that they can get caught in heavy machinery. No capes, no dresses. Why not just wear loose shorts?
Every time I read "Station" I think of Bill and Ted.
I love eggcorns, and found one via textmonger. Unsure if intentional given his play on / with words: "Grant it" for "granted". A very California preppy read I think. Not sure if it's my new favorite but but definitely up there.
Something I've noticed in social media is how arguments in the large turn into arguments in the small. Like how women will say "I won't do emotional labor for you" as though the response will be "great point honey, let's end capitalism". The argument is in the large: capitalism requires the free physical labor of women ➡ capitalism is expanding into the social realm ➡ it must also exploit the emotional labour of women.
Regarding note taking: especially in the context of summarising books; if you're not aware of "second brain" then it's worth looking up. Additionally, it's often worth adding automation to digital second brains, and a parseable format like Norg maybe invaluable and have a high ceiling for that automation contrasted to Markdown.
Something I noticed: despite being its own little corner, gemini is still the internet, and the only way to be anonymous on gemini is through other people hosting services that one can connect to anonymously. Self hosting means identifying through DNS. However, despite being somewhat invisible, the law still applies to those hosting these platforms. That means the anonymity is conditional. Proper anonymity requires p2p data transfers.
