Reading Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway and I am blown away by how raw and insightful it is. Highly recommend it to anyone with a pulse.

First observation with Niri, holy crap does my battery lasy longer. We are talking a 30% improvement in battery life. I cannot explain why yet, but this alone is a huge reason not to go back to Hyprland

Trying Niri seeing as Hyprland seems intent on making my life way more difficult than it needs to be and so far I am liking it. The whole scrolling tile affair is weirdly nice.

Kinda related point. Games Workshop should have this whole Black Library Phone App shoved right up their back passage. After years of DRM free ebooks they decided to put everything in their walled garden and frankly thats kinda gross

DRM on ebooks is such a pointless affair. I buy my ebooks (support authors y'all!) but I want to be able to read MY books on whatever damn device I want. Stripping most ebook DRM is a 2 minute job with Calibre... Why do they even bother? Just let us read what we buy however we want to read it.

The Scrubs reboot was almost perfect! Finally got done watching it and they did such a fantastic job capturing the feel of the original show. The OG cast were great, the new cast were incredible, the highs and lows, the emotional bits, all so well done. My only complaint revolves around the cameo...

"Don't let the bastards grind you down" is the kind of generic advice that can seem super unhelpful in certain situations. Today though, today I needed to hear that. Let'em try, I refuse to break

Also trying out this whole grayscale iPhone thing to see if it really does impact my usage. More to come…

Living with depression and anxiety long term is a weird life experience. One minute, you can be fine, and then things go quiet and suddenly your brain just… rebels?

I am so glad that the way we have decided to combat AI is by throwing tools in front of websites that break browsers and require you to open up your device to weird code runs…

I am trying something new and publishing my longer thoughts in my digital garden. I am not sure if this is a long term solution but I am kicking the tires. Here are some ramblings from an Old Man about social media:

I think my Apple Watch is going to officially retire. It’s just not bringing me anything right now that a normal watch cannot provide

I am so bored of being told that the entire economy is going to change in 12 months. It’s been 4 years, it ain’t happening…

Few things are more annoying than group texts

I saw a poster at the post office today reminding folk that it is mandatory to sign up for the Selective Service System and it had a weirdly emotional impact on me. (SSS is essentially registering for the draft for non US folk)

EV's are still, in my opinion, one of the dumbest ideas that have met main stream acceptance. What problem are they trying to solve? Emissions? Where do you think the electricity is coming from?

Booking medical appointments is maddening! How have we not mastered an online system by now

Gettin stoked for con season this year!
