Feeling better cause they clarified they'll still need the non-AI stuff and I should still study it. But also there's an open sales position and I applied for it. It's at least worth talking with them about possibilities and getting application/interview practice

Howlr had that and I suggested it to barq's devs on their discord years ago but they never did anything with it :P

We need to realize we're in a new era of the internet where if we want something to be the way we want it: * We have to run it and * We (or at least those who can) have to pay for it

I stopped using it back when its flaws were more salient and we could post anywhere anyway. It'll take time to fit FA into my life again, if I ever do. But in this era where tech's mask is off and you can't trust any site you don't own, having a place of our own is super important. It needs to live

Bsky is very random about which link previews it supports :P Here's a picture from the map link 📷 Anurag on Google Maps

It'd be the dream to have an office desk and a gaming desk. Unfortunately no space, so it's the same desk with a kvm switch. Before adhd medication it was hell trying to work at the same desk as gaming but now it's fine. Not ideal but fine

Will put myself out there on here - I am ofc slinging applications left and right atm. Got a dozen done, but I am a Sr Technical Product Manager/Designer. I have over a decade in this profession. My skills are broad. If you know of an opportunity I'd love to check it out.

The only thing I got from trying to study the MS AI stuff they wanted me to study was intense boredom and the feeling that it's more important than ever to get all my shit out of the big tech cloud and onto our home servers. Super driven to get that done. Not giving my job extra energy until then

Rowlga Nartamas @rowlga.inversetiger.ca · 01/10/2026
I'm enjoying personal projects way more than studying AI to try to shift internally into tech. Need more money at some point, but gonna focus on my own shit for now, health and home projects. Fuck corporate tech. At this point I'd even rather try sales, and that's a major shift

I believe it, but also before millennials most furries left the fandom at 30. Definitely not all, but also definitely most. So it kinda made sense in a "we're the rare ones that stayed" way. Now people don't age out as much, so it really should be like 40+

Decision: both. I can repurpose some of the old tech to make a game streaming server with emulators and put ddr on it :0

Wouldn't you know, when I'm way less stressed in general and get plenty of relaxation time, eventually the anxiety about random groups goes down enough to do roulettes in xiv. Still wouldn't do a PF group but it's something

Just finished setting up the fully automated lighting system I'd meant to forever. But what's next... A) Going through a pile of old tech to wipe everything and get rid of it B) Getting a DDR pad set up in the living room so tannyk (and maybe i) can use it for exercise

This is my life actually, pushing too hard then when I let myself relax I get just as much or *more* of my goals done. Been mostly sitting in xiv doing all the side quests lately. But also getting shit done that's been on my list for a year

Hit my usual weight loss wall in the 180s (as a short I'm aiming for 150s) but since i found a way to have some time for projects again I might be ok with that. Pause the weight loss, eat a maintenance amount for a while for the energy to use that time, and give it another push next spring

While doing movie reviews: Coyote vs Acme. Trite plot, doesn't make much sense, but James Gunn knows how to weaponize nostalgia like a motherfucker and coyote is cute. Worth it.

I really liked the quiet message hidden in the costuming of the Trojan and Greek battles, but again it felt like the moral of the story that foreshadowed fell on the audience like an Acme anvil at the end. Subtlety is dead lol

The further from watching Nolan's Odyssey the more I wish he had a lighter touch with his additions. They were good ideas, but I felt beat over the head. Maybe if I didn't already know about the bronze age collapse & sea peoples.

First bike commute with the heart rate monitor and holy crap, I've been pushing WAY too hard. Like I wouldn't be surprised if I was dead of a heart attack in some large percentage of alternate universes Staying in heart rate zones 2&3 felt so slow. But the ride took the same amount of time >_>

"Wtf I was feeling better, why'd you bring me to this wretched place?" He's getting better a lot faster than expected, so probably not a deep joint injury like I thought. Still, he's old so needed an expert opinion

Somehow Scrambles injured himself while we were out of the house, in a way that might be a few weeks to recover. The worry at his age is he might get used to not moving and decline, but it's inspiring how stubborn he's being about continuing to do what he wants

Finally read up on WoW Forever after hearing a lot of praise. Looks interesting, but I had one hard requirement: No faction division. A lot of the Classic audience likes the split so I'm not surprised they're keeping it. But good to see it's not for me before investing time/$

Nightmare last night: snapped and did something horrible and had to live with the consequences for weeks Then "woke up" and was wondering for days if I did that or it was just a dream Then "woke up" again and thought when I actually wake up this is gonna suck I think I'm awake now?

Everything built on each other: cutting projects, blocking apps, putting work in its place. Moving chores to before work feels anticlimactic as the last puzzle piece. But it was and it's like, right, I used to feel like this. When I had time and wasn't constantly stressed about lack of time

Seriously the most recent change I made might have switched the structure of my whole life, like a crystal reorganizing itself when one little section reorganizes. It feels great, and by comparison I'm like oh.. I've been feeling pretty shitty lately and didn't fully notice

Also back on caffeine, but this time mostly green tea and matcha. No coffee on workdays. And that's actually working, green tea doesn't fuck me up like coffee does for some reason

Noticed that work burns me out, making it a struggle to get random other needs done afterward. They hang over my head and I don't get to relax So trying: don't start work until my daily shit is done. So far, wayyy better. Both at work and in life, finding the order I do things really matters

What helps me is I press my thumbs into my ears to create an airtight seal, then slowly push up and back without breaking the seal. It creates a low pressure suction that for some reason turns my tinnitus volume way down
