Good morning, Monday!

Sunday morning park walk!

Yup, commuting is an effort. Also, being around many humans.

Commuting into work today made me realise how time-, effort- and energy- intensive an activity it is, and that this was/continues to be a norm.

Great British Bake Off is so good for British accent immersion.

potus' equivalent would simply be "p" but that's no fun either.

If we're just talking vanity Twitter handles, I think https://twitter.com/vp beats https://twitter.com/potus

Unfollowed a bunch of people whose posts don't spark joy for me. Bigger puzzle is how to find people that do.

DB Browser for SQLite is really nice for running adhoc queries over imported CSVs https://sqlitebrowser.org

Here's the key but subtle difference between touchscreen and using a mouse/trackpad: with touch, you can't know precisely where you're going to "click/tap" before you do.

It's probably sacrilegious to say this, but I miss having a bot suggesting people I could follow, or telling me what's trending. All part of the federated/decentralised deal I suppose.

Sure takes a fair bit of effort to find good/interesting feeds to follow around here.

Haven't been around these parts in a while. Happy New Year. I think I'll give masto another shot.

@apike Thank you for writing this.

Second bad experience with Sendle (sendle.com) in a month and a bit. This time as a receiver. Parcel has been "Out for Delivery" since ~9am this morning. It's now 8pm and still no sign of it. Literally #HadOneJob

I'm a little over procedurally generated levels and randomised enemies. Call me old-school, but I relish the idea of someone intentionally creating levels and placing enemies as part of vast and immersive narrative.

That single 6-minute tracking shot at the end of True Detective Season 1, Episode 4 🤩

I think it's safe to say I'm now addicted to Civilization V.
