I wish they had used a better mic but that was like giving my soul a really good scratch.

Yeah, it’s cool. I’m thinking I might make a page there. Maybe my blog. Or maybe a Tiddlywiki for some pet projects.

I love these pages. I miss the early 2000 internet.

Just had a chat with a gamer friend who was ditching Windows for good and switching to https://bazzite.gg/. I’ll probably do so as well. Apparently I’ve been needlessly scared of Linux and I had missed that SteamDeck encourages devs to make games work for Linux.

Fun fact: The “my body is a temple” line does originate from a spiritual tradition that did NOT forbid wine (Nondual Tantrik Shaivism) - though it did encourage moderation in all. And you’d be expected to drink the wine as you would be offering it in a temple.

Yuval Noah Harari’s Nexus gets into this as well. It’s a really powerful tool that we are very, very ill equipped to use responsibly.

That the idea of a constant Barbie-box description “self” is a fiction. Failure to discover “who I really am” wasn’t proof that I was faulty, just the normal human experience before cultural and social conditioning.
