Yer darn tootin'

(Australian standup in the future)

So what was the deal with capitalism anyway? That was pretty fucken shit, ey. Remember jobs—remember when you had to, fucken, sell your labour just so you could eat? And like, your bosses got richer off it but then when you couldn't afford to buy a house they blamed bloody eating avo on toast? I mean, faaaaaark, glad that's all over, y'know?

Sad about the climate now but

Comrades, I am very tired today

The earth experiences "seasonal lag", where the hottest part of summer and coldest part of winter are well after their middle. The earth is forever lagging behind its circumstances.

I experience annual lag. I am forever lagging behind my circumstances and the age I am now. I don't feel it yet.

Also, my hottest part is definitely not my middle.

I watched the movie Bar Bahar (In Between is the English title) tonight and I feel like it is relevant mastodon content. It could be summed up as "modern Palestinian women realise men are rubbish and proceed not to take any of their shit". It also has a cute gay couple.

(cw: rape scene, though. Sorry if, because of that, I should've put the whole thing behind a cw. Wasn't sure.)

I think I'd like to move off mastodon.social sometime but I don't know where to go and it all seems like a lot of effort

Because I'm trying to make an open source todo list/task management web app, I had a look around today for what else exists in this space. I was surprised that I couldn't find much at all beyond simple "let's make a todo list app" examples. Do any folks here have anything open source and web-based (or web API plus other client) they use regularly?

I had an idea of something to do in my Rust project today, and I did it, and it worked first time. Incredible. I think I'm finally at the level of "productive beginner" instead of "flailing beginner".

If my motivation to work on anything at all could come back, that'd be good.

It still sucks that they're our paying customers and we need to ask them for money to survive, though.

We sent out the yearly user survey for one of our apps today and, even though I haven't been feeling it lately, it makes me feel nice that a lot of people made the effort to say thanks for our work and tell us how much they appreciate it. I'd recommend it if you get the chance.
