#ProTip for #Parallels Desktop user

Do not forget to activate the #NetworkConditioner (no matter which OS you are hosting)!

Otherwise you will have very slow network connections, be it between the #Host and the #VM and also to the internet.

#WordPress is making it harder and harder to move away from it for me… #sigh

Just finished the (manual, #sigh) recreation of my #Mastodon #lists. It felt like those unopened boxes left from moving to a new home that always look at you, but you always skip to open them all the time. #procrastination #geekproblems

I am about to break the promise to myself to not write any social media related software again...

I can't believe there is no #lists #import #tool for #Mastodon yet..

*picks up "Great Ideas" notebook to put it away*

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!

Flicking through my notebook (I try to write things down when I watch an #OReilly #SuperStream or read a tech book, so I remember it more and can reference it in future).

And… NOOOOO! I wrote three things from "Effective Python" on a right-hand page, and then the pages must have been stuck together because I've just found a blank spread of pages before the rest of the notes from the book 😭

Heute ist Freitag. Wieso geht Excel eigentlich nicht zu? Und warum steht da #WERT!?
Oh, in Zelle B19 steht :wq!
Ich bin dann schonmal im Wochenende #geekproblems #teamVim #müde

I wish there was an easy way to set the playback speed on #YouTube based on the content. If it is music, or a guilty pleasure of mine those traffic accident videos, I want those in 1x, but other stuff like game play, game review, hardware review, etc, they can all be 1.25.

For now, I just have to use the < > hotkeys to adjust. #FirstWorldProblems #GeekProblems

Every year I get harder and harder to Christmas shop for. I feel awful for my family trying to buy things for me. Because, y'know, they don't understand pretty much ANYTHING I'm into. #geekproblems

I got a Multipass from 5th Element with a removable card for my birthday, and I wanted to put my Shinra work card in it, but the cards are different sizes and it falls out. :(

@theblockchainsocialist @bhaugen the people who push #encryption over everything as the solution to social/technical problems/solutions.

Over the last ten years, this has created huge piles of #techshit we now need to compost to grow a heathy #openweb based society.

Post scarcity or "artificial scarcity" for people who do not see/understand politics, every technological solution is solved by the second path, this is one of the #geekproblems we have to mediate for any good outcome.

Am kinda not surprised that the reach of my posts on the #dotcons is getting close to nothing, though am still seeing the ideas echoed back in the #mainstreaming, so something must be getting through.
The conversations am having on the #openweb are much better, but not without their #geekproblems good problem to have I suppose.

@bhaugen yep, you have to add a exception to your browser #geekproblem of complexity on this one, keep planing to move my blog to an activertypub codebase, but the two current ones have #fashernista and #geekproblems so keep putting the move off. going to live with a broke cert for a few more years ;)

@z428 so this is the easer one to fix - anyone can build a better app. The "conversation" app is likly the path here, though not with out its #geekproblems
