the republican color should be orange. as in, a bunch of yellow piss was mixed with the old red. plus, you know, that pissy orange guy.

...except we shouldn't do that to orange, or any other color. colors are useful and not monsters.

@Jo i had the same experience exactly. :^) if you overcome it and end up liking that style, play doom64 next. (doom64ex is a good way to do that if you don't do older consoles)

if doom 2 is too confusing though, don't bother. 64 goes off the deep end in that direction. (part of why i enjoy it, now)

Have a good one.

i couldn't come up with the word "south"; i went with "negative north".

@comradetaylorswift sexy duckduckgo.com ...good job browser, there's no chance i meant that as a domain name.

@feld @kaniini @lynnesbian no, that's all accurate as far as i know. my point is, it was a joy to use, and the surviving platforms are anything but.

@lynnesbian i miss webOS so much. just mount the damn thing like any other usb drive, no fuss, no layers of shit. these days i use an sftp client on android, much more reliable than mtp.

@jackofallEves those charging-only ports are now "power bottoms".

@Sir_Boops slackware. that way you don't just know a distro, or linux, you know unix. (this is sincere advice, but i'm weird.)

@Trev
i would if i could, but the squeaks i summoned ages ago led me to understand that even a single-reed instrument was far beyond my ken.

anybody still kicking around opsound.org? back in the day i found several talented and willing collaborators there.

rockets: we made fireworks, we blew each other up, we sent people to the moon.
internet: we built protocols and stacks, we lied and toppled democracies... still waiting for that awesome humanity-lifting next thing.

@Angle yes and yes. share drafts early and often. make as much noise in as many places as you can. guest-lecture anywhere that will let you.

the end result may be that others get disproportionate credit, or that your ideas mutate and catch on only in diminished form. but if the alternative is to keep quiet until more wrinkles are worked out, i say go for it.

we need fresh ideas, complete or otherwise; the current madness has no future beyond the next quarterly report.

@minego i blame both that particular douchebag and the general fact that many phones now omit basic mandatory features like a headphone jack.

crafting some halloween decorations, the question of what names to put on tombstones came up.
i said: "we could always use r.i.p."
wife heard: "we could always use our IP."

that's not how ears and snouts work.
