You know the sequel is in Early Access right? That's what killed me last weekend...

The first release was so half-baked that I didn't get into it, but they've released updates now that we're enough for me to lose a weekend playing it. I still think the description "early release" is accurate, but it's going to be a phenomenal sequel when they get the features and bugs worked out.

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, "SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don't actually know what either of those words mean."

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I've always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn't know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I'm actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I'd need to read like six other articles, which I can't do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I've taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I'll regularly read articles that I don't fully understand, assuming that I'll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I'm reading about over time.

To be fair, Afghanistan was actually involved in the 9/11 plot, unlike Iraq.

What I'm still struggling with is if it's still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.

I'm no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I'm not passively browsing either, but how do y'all feel about tapping reddit's wealth of information?

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but I'm using sync and I'm not seeing any ads at all.

I also have DNS66 through f-droid though...

My move lately has been to stand their windshield wipers up. You're not doing anything criminally damaging to their vehicle, but in my experience, anyone this self-important will be really bothered by the thought of some random person putting their dirty hands on their precious baby.

I did FAWM a few years back, and while it basically consumed my entire life that month, I got an album's worth of new music out if it! Putting myself under a deadline really helps me stop procrastinating and actually create new music.

The last few years though I've been unable to do it. February is the busiest time of year for me gig-wise, and I can't see myself playing a 6-hour show, then coming home and spending four more hours writing.
