Xfinity may not be having a good night. One ping session I let run for a while showed 78% packet loss. Posting this via mobile.

I am curious. I help people frustrated with how difficult it is to use technology. I value autonomy, self-determination, empowerment, and uplifting people were they are, as they are. Neurodivergent. Norse. Gen X
Tonight I used Nookmart for the first time. If there is stuff you want for your island that you haven’t managed to find via normal means, or there is no overlap in your social circle of folks who are also playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, well the selection is swell and delivery was fast.

Fellow tape heads:
If you used to create mix tapes, then mixes on CD-R, do you also now spend time building playlists in your favorite electronic medium?
For example, I have dozens of playlists in Apple Music and I add music to them (or create new lists) on a regular basis.
Ugh. I was one radio button from success. @help do I need redo a source, ie: delete and recreate, or could the import of an RSS source and publish to my blog be toggle on from the back end? I don’t see that I can change this in the UI myself.

When you love a song, do you always?
I do.
I horde favorite songs. I retain sentimental affection.
I think without exception.

The song Kinky Afro by Happy Mondays
I realize I’m of a demographic, one that still regularly watches prime-time programming, but it really is cringe to see commercial after commercial for new medications with really alarming side-effects.

Putting this here for posterity. Just updated an HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 laptop to Ubuntu 25.04.
I used the recommendation here which has resolved an issue where the only sound device was Dummy Audio:

Two take-aways from my one-pager edit, today.
I can open an SVG file in BBEdit to get the vector information—no need to find the raw HTML online.
I still don’t understand all of the components of the SVG data and how CSS interacts inside of the template I’m customizing.
But? It works.

As an HTML hobbyist, it is excruciating to constantly come up against the difference between what I think I know and what I actually know. This is how I learn best, but it is so humbling. I thought I understood including in-line SVG images. I’m progressing.

The song Highwire Days by The Psychedelic Furs
I was diagnosed with ADHD back in the late 1900s, and recently I’ve learned enough to strongly suspect a second diagnosis. This knowledge does a lot to explain myself to myself, what I do and why. But let me tell you the gravity of the consequences does not stop revealing itself to me.
I wouldn’t say I’m never satisfied. But I would say that satisfaction with anything I work on is temporary. Today I’m thinking about the design of my vanity one-page website. I’m thinking about the link to it from Micro.blog, and I’m also thinking about a major CSS overhaul of my Micro.blog itself.
