Currently my solution to having too many browser tabs open, is to open more browser windows and spread the tabs across them. Maybe organized by theme or purpose. We'll see how that goes. Surely it can only be an improvement, right?

LinkedIn is the craziest place, man…

Screenshot from LinkedIn showing a post from a research engineer at Microsoft. His post is a picture of a laptop with the caption “got a new macbook, what should I install first?”
The laptop is open and the screen shows a text editor with a file that is just a dozen lines of different API keys to various AI services. These are secrets that absolutely should not be shared with the whole wide web.

Company culture is supposed to be “under promise/over deliver” and in no place do we miss the mark on that more than with the flavor of the tofu vindaloo in the canteen. To say the seasoning is “white” would be an understatement. More like “TV static”.

Slowly working on Stormpot 5.0 (codeberg.org/chrisvest/stormpot/mil…) and I'm thinking this might be the last version. Unless bugs are found. But I can't think of anything else to add or change. It'd be _done_ done.

Almost 10k DPS ball in BALLxPIT. Woah.

A screenshot from the Expedition Ended screen in ball x pit, showing the build of a ball accomplishing 9240 damage per second, and over 10 million total damage. The concept of it is a laser ball that causes the monsters to sprout mini laser balls that in turn perpetuates the effect. This causes a feedback loop of screen-clearing laser raves.
