I cycled to the town for some ice cream. Today's ice cream had the taste of sweet childhood memories as I met one of my old childhood friends there. (Surprisingly, tangerines make a great ice cream as well!)

Afterwards I took pictures inside of an abandoned mansion after arranging with the reseller who owns it nowadays and everything went smoothly. Until I discovered the living room with a bunch of seemingly random nameplates, a single black and white TV on a small table in the middle of the room and two chairs occupied by the most horror cliché dolls you can find. Did I just get pranked by the owner? But otherwise the photos turned great and it's sad I can't post them here.

Just found out about Toki Pona the other day, considering having a go at learning it. Known about conlangs for a while but always felt like too much of an effort to be worth it.
Been in a rut lately, and it feels like just what I need. Something small and simple to learn which is also lighthearted and silly. An upward motion to get out of stagnant waters.

I wish constant talking wasn't seen as a requirement when other people. It seems staying with someone, even a relative, in silence is interpreted as awkward or cold.

There's so much pleasure in being with someone else, enjoying each other presence without needing words. I think it could even lead to a deeper, simpler connection.

People are too attached to words and expressing random things. Really, it doesn't matter what's being said as long as something is constantly being expressed.

Just picture this : two people having dinner together, the only sound being the clatter of the dishes. No animosity in the air. At first glance it may appear that it's two persons being alone together, but really they are having a full conversation without aknowledging each other.

Confession: There was a thread where you had to say something and then link another post in the thread, and someone linked my post, but I never responded. The guy who responded wasn't me at all. I saw the post the entire time on day one, but I never bothered to reply. I can't even remember what the thread was about, but it's been in my head every time I come here (very infrequently), so I felt like I needed to get that out.

Getting back into Monster Hunter Rise. It's been a while since I last played it. Back before Sunbreak was just announced. Stopped after finishing all the quests and just waiting on that DLC, but never got back when it launched.

Though I am replaying it on my PC instead of my switch because I'm now playing with my bf this time. I wish I could transfer my save from Switch to PC. (´~`)

It's one thing if it's +12 outside. You can walk on, and on, and on.
But when it's +35 in shade and the sun is out to turn you into a coal chunk, the only place you want to be is where the air conditioner is. Which is definitely not outside. There are, of course, seas and lakes, and rivers, but you probably can't swim your way to the store. Even if you live in Venice.

I think I finally got over my online crush. I've had it for almost 6 months and we were getting really close, we talked a lot everyday and I thought we had a real connection, which was actually true but there's something wrong with me because I get uncomfortable when I get too close to people and also I wasn't sure about online dating so I didn't really tell her how I felt. And then she started dating someone else which was very hard for me to accept for the following months but I think I'm finally over it. But it was very difficult because It's hard for me to find people that I connect with… I don't check her online status as much and I don't think/daydream about what could've been and all that. Although it's hard because she still messages me almost everyday but we don't talk nearly as much.

Anyway, I feel like I'm finally moving on which is awesome.

I'm a bit on the other end.
There was someone I just couldn't stop thinking of for more than a year and a half, but eventually I figured out she wasn't the thing I've placed on a pedestal, and that what I have built in my head just was different to what she really was.
It's a bit sad though, it might be healthy on the long run, but it still makes me somewhat blue that someone who meant a lot to me at the time is hard to think about now.

The 'daydreaming' and 'placed on a pedestal' stuff can become insidious for us. I am proud of both of you for making good decisions for yourselves.

Suddenly this topic is everywhere and elsewhere I see a guy declaring his love to a girl on some server I lurk, despite, in his own words, not knowing her for long, and always online, too.
Idk why I share this, it probably don't help at all.

I appreciate you sharing this. Tbh I don't know if I even wanted anything more than being close friends with her, maybe there was a good reason why I hesitated going further. idk how online relationships are supposed to work especially when she lives on another side of the world and I don't think I could travel there at least anytime soon. I just want to hang out with her like we used to but now someone else gets to do that instead of me. And that hurts a lot but I've already accepted that and it's ok.

I'm not sure the internet is very good for long term relationships. It's easy to hide behind a facade. You don't have to be there, it's all at your own convenience.

So I can see the appeal of trying to start a real life relationship with someone you don't know that well instead of spending years trying to get to know their online persona. You'd find out a lot quicker if things are going to work out or not.

Not that people don't put on facades in the real world too, but it's harder to keep it up, especially in the long term.

It has been a long time since I came here. I remember stumbling upon this place as a teenager and trying to find friends because I didn't used to have any back then. It's kind of weird when you are so socially isolated you don't even know where to meet people. Oh well.

Things have been going well though. I got into a reputable university, found a girl of my dreams, turned out she was hanging out with the other dudes behind my back, let go of her, got into a grind mindset and since then I have been one of those dudes who just work out and study all day. I occasionally catch up with friends and we go out drinking once every fortnight.

This is the last year of my university, I have several projects and an internship coming up starting with this semester, and ex decided to come after me all this time. I don't really want to entertain her again but it's kind of nice to see that she regrets her decision and it's definitely a boost for my ego.

I don't really know what comes next. I might apply for a graduate degree next year or I might just start working. I realized that I don't really like relaxing that much so I definitely need something to keep me busy.

It's one of those funny historical misunderstandings. The word "neapolitan" is actually an American misspelling of "Napoleon". During the French Revolution, Napoleon's supporters popularized the "Napoleon Ice Cream", which was in bands of red, white, and black to match the revolutionary army's flag. After Napoleon's defeat and subsequent imprisonment at Alcatraz, many of his supporters moved to California, where they would hold rallies demanding Napoleon's freedom. They would often serve their "Napoleon ice cream" at these rallies. This ice cream was popular at the time because there were only 3 ice cream flavors that had been invented and it included all of them. It soon began to spread across the country, but at some point the name got misheard too many times and by the time it reached New York, everyone was calling it "Neapolitan Ice Cream" instead and that's the name that ended up sticking.

Now that is interesting, sorry for sounding a bit rude in that post, I was just mesmerized why Neapolitan Ice Cream was mentioned so much in movies.
It's insanely clear that ice cream truffles and sandwiches are the superior cold desert. They can come in plenty of different sizes with all sorts of filler, and they're also covered in chocolate. Napoleon ice cream just seems very uninteresting to me.

And also an obvious joke - Napoleon died in 1821, California was founded in 1850, and Alcatraz prison was opened in 1934. There were also more than 3 flavors of ice cream that existed during Napoleon's lifetime.
Also, if Neapolitan ice cream is talked about a lot in movies, I've somehow never noticed. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single movie where it's brought up at all.

Every time, I try to be only a useful member of the part time staff. Every time, I'm given more responsibilities and more hours while the rest of the staff gets culled and working conditions deteriorate until others bail out. I've began to wonder if I'm a contributive factor in the degradation of working environments. This pattern has happened too often for that to not be a possibility. My objective is always to do as much work in as little time possible so that everyone (not just me - everyone) has more time and space to breathe and therefore be less stressed. Maybe the solution really is to prolong your assigned tasks for as long as possible, be the least cooperative you can be and, most importantly, smile less.

I'm still in a bit of disbelief that I made Linux my daily driver. I used to get mad at it because things "never worked" on it, but a lot has changed with time and now it's a really easy to understand system compared to what I dealt with before.
I had headaches trying to run things on it 5 years ago, but now everything just seems to come naturally. Then again, having dealt with the right kind of people helped me become really good at it. Or at the very least, good enough to understand what to touch and what not.

Honestly considering switching to it as my daily driver in a few years. I've pretty familiar with it via Mint on my laptop, but as my daily PC driver I've yet to make the switch. I've slowly but surely moving to FOSS for most of my software choices though so the transition won't be as difficult.
I'll mostly just be switching once Windows 10 in end of life and they cut off security updates. I don't see any reason to upgrade to Windows 11, the main turn off for me is the bloat.

On that note though, I've wondered if anyone else misses when software and applications used to be optimized to hell and back (little no flashy animations, ran on an inkling of memory, didn't take up 200MB for a chat application, etc.) out of necessity.
I used to have a shitty old 2006 laptop as my daily driver in high school and I'd squeeze as much performance out of that thing as possible wherever I could. Now it seems like everything runs on the idea that "everyone who matters has good hardware, who cares about optimization, just push it". It's honestly a massive annoyance to me. Seeing something like Spotify take a full 15 seconds to open the front page vs. Foobar2000 taking less than a second to show my entire library is annoying to me.

I've been using it as a daily driver for several years now and have had no significant problems even though I still don't fully understand it, for lack of trying mostly.

>how can an electronic device with no power just fix it's own problem when left alone for a while
They have firmware. Because it's cheaper to write a program for a small microprocessor to do trivial things than it is to build the same logic from various physical devices.
So there's a tiny program in the device that does something as trivial as counting seconds, or turning on the power when a switch is on, or stops the charging circuit from charging batteries once the battery appears full. And like every other computer, the thing has a processor, storage for storing programs, and working memory so that programs can maintain state, so that they can remember how many seconds have passed or whether the device is on or not. The working memory requires constant power to hold data.
And then something silly happens, like the program can't actually count more than six years worth of seconds, or the program doesn't reuse memory and runs out after a while, or you turn the thing on and off too fast so the program behaves like it's both on and off at the same time. Maybe a cosmic ray hits the memory and flips a bit. The program is now in inconsistent state and stops working correctly. The issue persists for as long as the memory is powered on.
In short, manufacturers are too cheap not to replace hardware with software, and all software is universally garbage. If rebooting it fixes the issue, it's a software issue.

Without having the model in hand and opening it to look inside, it's really hard to guess why that happens.
One potential explanation is that the circuit has run for long enough that it's started to wear down a crucial capacitor, or there might be some leak to ground that sometimes short-circuits and sometimes doesn't depending on how hot the circuits are (because typical conductors expand when heated), or a resistor got messed up somewhere and that's leading to some leaky charge. There's like a million different things that can go wrong on the hardware side, never mind integration hell when the software side has to deal with the hardware.

>>16818
Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of people who don't understand computer tech being mean to programmers >:^(

Software is awesome. It's flexible, lets you define all sorts of functionality without needing a specialized circuit for it. That's what makes von-neumann machines so awesome too! It's a universal computer circuit that can calculate anything as long as there's a program (software) for it!

Hardware isn't always reliable. There are still tractors from the 50's (all mechanical) running today, but most are out of commission because they failed eventually. Sometimes a car starts immediately, sometimes you have to keep the ignition going for a solid 10 seconds before it starts. It's not because "gas producers" are lazy that that happens, it's often because there's some quirk with the engine, it's too cold, etc.

See this picture. Notice the distinct lack of any microcontrollers, EEPROMs, and other components? This circuit likely won't have any software in it at all, because contrary to what most people assume, it sometimes is much cheaper to implement a circuit that develop and maintain a codebase, and programmers are not to blame for all the technical travesties you face (like power station failures, nuclear meltdowns, website 404ing, dropped packets, etc). Ask any engineer (civil, electrical, mechanical) and they'll tell you just how unreliable the majority of technology is. Please stop giving programmers the shaft, they work very fucking hard to get anything working and you wouldn't be posting here if they didn't.
