@AmyZenunim Strongly agree!
I started learning guitar last year, despite having a bad history at sticking with habits and learning new things and not having touched a musical instrument since I was a kid.
I didn't look up any theory, common chord progressions, or the same beginner songs seen in tutorials everywhere - I spent the 5 minutes required to understand that a guitar tab shows you where you need to place your fingers, then found music I liked that seemed vaguely plausible to play and started playing
And slowly but surely, I got better, more confident, able to go from having to constantly keep watch on my hands and struggling to shift more than 2 frets or one string up or down at a time without fumbling to now...okay, I'm still not good, but I can play at a faster pace than "continental drift", and actually use most of the fretboard.
Because yeah: playing songs I knew and cared about and slowly seeing them morph from a halting screeching mess to something that actually sounds recognisable (if a little simplified) got me to keep playing and meant that every once in a blue moon I'd actually try something a little further out of comfort zone
And I feel very confident that if I'd done things "right" and "proper" then sure, I wouldn't have a lot of bad habits, I'd actually recognise what notes I'm playing and have theoretically made more progress with chords...but in practice I probably wouldn't have kept at it for more than a few months, then half-heartedly and guilty dusted the guitar off like twice a year and been discouraged to continue when I did try
Better to go at a slow, casual pace, have fun doing it and gradually chip at all the less fun parts while still being able to do the fun bits when tired, then to give up before ever reaching the fun to begin with!
Why didn't the Artemis II team simply use the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device to shoot a Portal to the Moon? Are they stupid? 🤔

@AmyZenunim You mean you've not already seen the allegations?
The out of context receipts are on Tubu. The easily faked logs are literally on Heebee. The callouts are on Poodee with moral outrage. They've been cancelled on Dippy. You can probably hear unsubstantiated rumours about it on Weeno. Do you even check your Gumpy? It's a Pheebo baitpost.
Everyone's planning the harassment on Poob. You can make shit up on Poob. You can go to Poob and anger the mob. Join the righteous crusaders on Poob right now. Get the truth at Poob. Dogpile your enemies from Poob. You can Poob them off the face of the earth. It's all on Poob. Poob has it in for you. Poob has it in for you.
I don't need AI to write buggy unreadable code I don't understand while also lacking any sort of object permanence or working memory.
I write Perl for my day job, I can already create unreadable code I stop understanding the moment it leaves my sight for more than 2 minutes :P

@scarlet@chaos.social I'm imagining the staff making the burger as if they're doing those overly fancy tacticool FPS reloads, including placing the burger in the bun, bun in the box, box in the bag all needlessly aggressively
Then it being eaten in the same manner, taking one bit out of it, throwing the box away, getting a new box to put the burger in and then returning it to a two-handed pistol grip in idle animation before unboxing it to take another bite and do the whole thing over again.

On the one hand, great to hear from my laser hair removal specialist that I've had so little facial hair growth she actually recommends I wait another month before my next session
On the other hand, this did mean I had less sleep and spent a few hours out and about for no real reason.
On the hind paw, this let me take a detour on the way back to scout out the location of a board game cafe (sadly not very impressed) and finish off the Pokemon GO group quest this week

@scarlet I mean, what's gayer, confessing your love or pledging your life for theirs?
Plus the former is really ambiguous, as different people have different ideas of what "love" means and entails and what levels of devotion that implies.
Saying "your safety is worth more than my life" is a lot clearer in intent and makes the fanfic practically write itself

@scarlet Even in my neck of woods I wouldn't call 35k "huge amount", but something like a "comfortable amount*" instead and can only assume that down South it would barely afford you a pint and a packet of crisps
(* this would be about 50% more than I make and 5k higher than the highest paid local friend I know the salary of, but that'd just make things a bit comfier and allow a small safety net, it's a far cry from luxury)

Because getting the Wii to run Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and Windows NT was clearly not enough, there's now a port of Mac OS X too!

The blog post going into the development is also an interesting read:

Would be great if I could stop waking up after only 2 hours sleep and then being unable to go back to sleep despite still being tired
Excuse me, what do you mean "Cassette Beasts 2002 will have Johnny Gioeli of Crush 40 on vocals"!?

Cassette Beasts vocal tracks from the first game were already excellent and managed to scratch a similar itch to 2000s Sonic vocal tracks and now you're telling me that Crush 40's vocalist is joining the existing music team, singing alongside Shelby Harvey to Joel Baylis' compositions?
While this doesn't land quite as hard with me as the original game's vocal tracks does or the classic Crush 40 hits, it's still very good and makes me excited to see what the rest of the soundtrack holds...
...to say nothing of the game itself, considering Cassette Beats was better than I was expecting when I finally got round to playing it.

Early 2000s: hot new linux distro is just Debian stable with different settings to provide a desktop more familiar to Windows users
Late 2000s: hot new linux distro is just Debian unstable with slightly better multimedia support and installer
2010s: hot new linux distro is just Ubuntu but without whatever dumb stuff Canonical is pushing and a few custom repos...and different settings to provide a desktop more familiar to Windows users
2020s: hot new linux distro is just Arch but will break and become unmaintainable in a few months
2030s: hot new linux distro is just SteamOS for ARM using some unholy wine bottle proton sandboxing x86_64 -> ARM64 compatibility layer labyrinth to provide a desktop familiar to Windows users
2040s: hot new linux distro is just Debian stable running on the scavenged Old World technology that the megacorps don't want you to have
