iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Random realization that Bsky and similar social media are probably the closest analogue to Outer Wild's non-linear communication system we have that's popular. No manual threads or branches needed. Just reply to what you wanted and the tree is created for you.

That's a way of thinking I have always had about others. I don't know why that hasn't extended to parts of myself also. Maybe the lack of a way to get the emotions out otherwise? Either way, that was a perspective I definitely needed. Thank you 💛

You know, you're right. Definitely past like.. trauma(?) from bullying and such that she's so over-protective in a now very bad way I guess. I wouldn't want to be yelled at for that, even if I was a cause of pain. Did get me through school and to a nice job after all.

With stress and anxiety in particular, doesmt sound far from what I get as a singlet also, taking all energy and sending me to brainfog land for the day with no apparent warning or reason. Rarely for other emotions though.

That does sound useful. I got some mean internal disputes and demons I'm dealing with that's been ignored for so long, preventing me from doing stuff I want to. If that was somehow singled out I'd yell at that bitch to stop xD. I mean I still do, just doesn't listen or respond

Yeah there is definitely healthier ways to deal with problems than something like that ^-^

Some days I wish that was an option to just pick. Just hand over to someone else and take a break. Probably not how it works but still :p

I'm not a fan of how many think it's automatically moral or even legal to share things around just because it's public. You could try going for a DMCA I suppose, but at this point Reddit is not really a place that seems to care about things like laws or human decency much.

Managed to place myself in queue for one last week also, so just a matter of a few months now hopefully. I hope yours go well and that you can get the help you feel you need ^-^

they're effectively saying "human performances take too long and cost too much, but we still feel entitled to the appearance of having professional voice acting"

idk about you but having professionals perform their craft inside value extraction pods, solely for the sake of growing the productivity slop hivemind so that it can erase humanity from future art projects, doesn't exactly strike me as the utopian "ethical AI" they're trying to convince me it is

I hope someone will publish statistics on the amount of videos uploaded to various sharing sites during and after the eclipse, and how that compares with other days.

Yes, please can we return to this? And no, interacting with fifteen popups before you can interact with the actual content does not count :D

Stripe Rose 🌹 @striperose.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

All for simpler UX, but "We're getting things ready for you" or "Customising your experience" loading bars for 10 minutes are not useful. What is this new standard?

Stripe Rose 🌹 @striperose.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Companies hiding screws underneath glued pads is so evil, forcing you to buy replacement parts for things that aren't even the problem, but you need to destroy them to fix the actual issue.

Spending some of my vacation tinkering and learning grandMA3 basics, and honestly this is really fun. Nothing advanced yet, still pretty early on, but I love how easy it is to play around with, once you learn the basics. Naturally I'm already planning what to do if I ever buy a physical console.

If I hold an input combination, can I choose multiple?

The take that it seems to be between those who want to do the work, and those who just want results to appear as if by magic, mirrors my own feeling. Even without all other problems with it today, gamedev is a dream job. I want to do the work, not talk with a program and review it's output all day.

There are a few things I keep coming back to that don't exist outside the services, which really sucks, but other than that the only thing hindering me is that I haven't figured out my own streaming setup yet. I'd gladly be rid of all the extra fees I don't get enough out of anymore.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

user abbiistabbii:
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

Oh look, waking up to the US progressing further from being one of the best countries towards being one of the worst countries on earth. What a treat. I didn't need an attempt to have a good day anyway. Fearing for friends over there is much more useful I'm sure.

At what point would it be socially acceptable to spend like 9-12 months of salary on professional gear for an industry I'm not in but want to learn, because it was always a childhood dream to?

So close for Youtube music to be my replacement after leaving Spotify. But no, a bunch of the music I like is "Made for kids"(Disney/Pixar OST) and therefore can't be saved to a playlist because of reasons?

And the cherry on top is that if you switch to "List" view, which makes "Most relevant" smaller so they don't need the "Latest," the option to switch back to the grid view is removed and you can only do so by editing or removing cookies. What the heck happened with your ability to UX, Google?
