dreaming of a mastodon interface where it's 3-6 panels of timeline just like
now, except, each of them is the same timeline and when you scroll it scrolls
all of them at once, and the bottom of the leftmost panel is the top of the
panel to the right, and the bottom of that panel is the top of the one to the
right, etc etc.

5/20 actually I lied there's 20 pictures so this is the last one.
hang on that's weird if there's four pictures per slide, and the first one had
the first dedicated to the full image, wonder what happened inbetween? weird,
there's nothing on the record that says - oh, wait, there it is, three for the
first one, four makes seven, then four more is eleven and then fifteen then
these last three are... wait hang on that's even fewer. can you check it
again? yeah sure no problem [doesn't]
EDIT: I was wrong there were only 19 pictures, my bad hehe

sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

UX idea: text is rapidly revealed (rate configurable) letter by letter and
upon reaching the bottom of the page it starts over at the beginning,
overwriting what was there in a different color to show that they're separate.
For colorblind accessibility it might switch between white background black
text, and black background white text. Again, user configurable, colors are
cool too.
If the user pushes the spacebar it pauses until they resume it, and it goes a
bit slower. If they catch up to it they can double spacebar to make it go
faster!

I think it'd be neat to have two tiers of follow lists - like, "close follow"
and "far follow" - the close one would have a cap of like, 70 people or so and
be primarily used for coordination or close friendships, while the far one
would be more like "I like this person and I want to see them on my main feed
because they make funny memes"
then they could be sorted into different sections, sorta like how you can have
"local timeline" and "federated timeline" and "home" and "instance timeline"
etc etc
sooooo weird how the "local" timeline doesn't show me people who live near me
in relative proportion to their distance from me. That'd be neat too, to have
the ability to talk about regional things in a specific place on a website
without losing the benefits from using a cohesive platform.

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
"increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%

source code should be like a story
"here's why we did what we did with our architecture"
and as it's being written, it may be altered in many different places at once
- git style.
parts of it could rhyme,
if they wanted to show parts that were really difficult but easy to summarize
because it's mostly just a lot of boring work y'know like writing getters and

a shockingly large amount of people think "if my people were in power,
things'd be all okay [groupthink]". The truth is more similar than you'd
expect, because whenever "a group takes over" what really happens is all the
groups are shuffled, and people find themselves in social bubbles that align
to their focus in life, and suddenly there's not "[y/our]" side but instead
"this side and that side" or "that side and this side and that side and this

anyway the text would "burn" into existence slowly and you had time after

your words to go back and edit them but also whatever you said was semi

the things you say.
Also separate idea but it'd be neat if there was like... a show or something

currently have 20-30 tabs open with poems written but not posted.
I have no idea if I'm going to post all of these. I wrote all of them in ~2
hours, with maybe 3 or four being added as I was working on the production
elements after the initial bingewrite.
I also added a bit of context, or modified some of them that felt too cursed
or otherwise unwieldy. Sometimes I got distracted and needed to come back and
finish, and in those cases I only added a sentence or two because it's like
"oh, where was I going with that? I remember what was next, but I don't know
the further..."
... I think I might go for another. Wish me luck.

That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be
pushing themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point
down... And that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

if his wife kicked him out after a fight" "hahaha how silly, life is normal

(the wrong kind is more than apparent.)
I guess also like... showers with parents? That's a sacred and holy thing.
straight-to-hell is when they make applications for children's iOS devices

or a video of dancing animals, or shapes floating in a colorless void

conservatives think gender is assigning yourself to a particular social role
liberals think gender is sort of an aesthetic and way of presenting yourself
queer people tend to think of gender as how you feel and what sparks joy in
your heart
the truth is much more complicated and involves all three, and many more
things besides.

It had mostly pastel colors I think, well not really pastel, more like that
mid-2000s aesthetic where everything is glass and colored fluids / palm trees
/ dolphins
I remember there were different colors / shapes for different operations like
"add" or "while loop" and I think they combined somehow? It was a real
experimental thing I think, but there was an animation so I'm assuming it was
functional. I'm trying to remember more about it but I can't, it's so
random... I don't even know what I'd search for really.
I just had a friend who I think would really like it, and I was thinking of my

Steps to make a game waterfall style:
Lay out all the data structures
Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job
anyway

we should tie the global amount of money to the amount of energy in the world
meaning when we use solar panels or burn fossil fuels it adds to the count
wait no burning fossil fuels spends these "energy credits" into nothing
while building solar panels produces energy credits that go back into the pool
locally concentrated, of course, meaning the biggest producers have access to
the biggest amount
and if you don't care about energy then you don't need to have any. just the
way
it goes. so...

It's a person with a thumbs up who has a fountain of tears streaming down
their cheeks. Any time you see the T.T fountain of tears emoticon you should
view it as slightly sarcastic - they're not actually crying, it's more like a
"ahhhhhh" type of thing instead of a "[cry cry cry]" forever type of thing.
Oh also the z is them with their other hand on their hip all sassy like.

Would work best if it was "town square style" instead of "federated style"
because federations are based on trust while town squares are explicitely
based on geographic proximity. Which should be something you can scale easily
(little slider on the side, oriented vertically up and down, that determined
how close the comments you see should be)
Federations exist in mastodon. But we still need a town square. We need the
ability to visit other town squares, through the ability to project our voice
as infinitely far as they'd like to listen. But we also deserve the capability
to interact with those close to us on a topic-by-topic basis, aka each and
every individual web page that the Internet sees fit to create.

I dunno I just remember having that problem every once in a while and if you
search the man page for "sub" it takes like, 16 n pushes to find what you need
and it's like... can't you just put the flags and keyboard shortcuts at the
beginning??

if you have TTS software you can listen to anything with any tone. this makes
it difficult to find things.

teach your animals to be actors so they know how to develop the scene. then
they will truly come alive, as their narrative curve gives them determination
in the outcomes of their goals.

I believe it is good and natural actually for parents to guide their children
as they grow?
"oh but they can't consent to giving up their control" well too bad they're 2
"ah but what if they WANT to run with scissors?" thus widening the [redacted]
gap. "ohhhh she redacts things when she can't spell them" and also for comedic
or dramatic effect sometimes. was not ACTUALLY redacted. redcoated. red coded.

me to my cat: "don't eat so much that you puke, okay?"
me to me: "yeah I can take on another task, I'm almost done with this one and
then I'll just do that one and maybe this one'll get back to me at the same
time as this one which conflicts with this other thing so maybe I'll just
puke, okay?"
