on android has a serious problem with not leaving the UI the hell alone when, on the whole, it worked fine how it was before. stop reinventing the UI every few releases ffs.

I voted and it turns out my polling place actually has paper ballots. last time I voted was in a different county and they're was no paper record that I could see. I don't know if they do risk-limiting audits though...

An artist whose web comic I like, Zach Morrison, wrote the story for this puzzle game, Petal Crash. I haven't played it but it looks challenging and the art is pretty cute...maybe check it out?

I went looking for where "atx" headers come from in Markdown, and found a ghost: aaronsw.com/2002/atx/intro
(I still don't know what 'atx' stands for though...)

how to write a paper (as far as I know): getting started and staying motivated
- results section first
- if you don't have results write the list of needed results - for example "the mean height in the sampled population is ____ , this matches/does not match the literature value" - and urgently find out and fill it in

terrible terrible poll 

@skelly@redroo.ml isn't it obvious he's an anarchist? he overthrows (or seriously damages?) a government made up of *himself*. i think a libertarian would be constrained to at least respect other people's liberty, but Rick kills, imprisons, wipes memories, and steals all as one.

@coldwave y'know i had heard of that, but never checked it out. I'll give it a try. thanks

@coldwave shame mushrooms don't look as...bouncy in photos. something about seeing them, unexpected, as I'm walking by and how the roundness of them is impressed on my eyes just makes them so cheery. wish i knew their names as you do

@lupyuen Complex. Could suggest you aren't benefiting from the things you create (the wealth is *only* for others) or it just means that your work benefits others. Is there a duality like that in the Chinese?

@freemo certainly not the first... co-parenting with a surrogate mother is definitely a thing

Has anyone here ever heard of or used scuttlebutt? Apparently its a decentralized social media network, in that sense it is like the fediverse. but it uses a totally different approach (gossip network).

I'm just now hearing about it and looking it up.

@Sphinx you could say that 😅
There's a lot more I could say about the show, but I'm not going to flood your feed with it

@Sphinx I don't know what to make of the ending though. It's weird (and I like the part where Slater gets Malkovich'd), but it's a pretty underwhelming... They end it with this speech about individuality or something, but how is that a theme of this show?

I'm definitely not saying it's bad: endings are hard and wtf do I know about making TV dramas? There *are* a lot of loose ends though (what happens to all the Dark Army operatives after whiterose dies; does Dom loosen up; is Irving's crappy book actually selling that well??) that I would like tied up.

@Sphinx it's compelling. pretty sad. gets the technical stuff right way more than other shows I've seen that include hackers.

in happier news we voted and ranked choice voting was on the ballot statewide and I was very happy to fill in "yes"

watching mr robot probably counts as studying for Security+ certification, right?
