I found this mockup I drew a few years ago for a platformer. I spent a whole week just on two 8x8 tiles of ground. I really like the result, but I couldn’t finish the game concept, so I dropped the project.

Look, these’re two Nintendo Switch OLEDs. On the photo, the UK one is on top, and the HK one is underneath it. What’s the difference? Look closely, the UK one has a pre-installed screen protector, while the HK one doesn’t.
Now, I wonder if any US or JP OLEDs have a pre-installed screen protector.

How many images/sprites do you think I used to create this interface for my visual novel? Zero!
Everything’s drawn in code. This helped me achieve flexible sizes for text blocks. So I can put any text in the block and it will be rendered without any visual glitches.

Remember when Western Digital bought HGST (Hitachi’s HDD division)? I had a bunch of WD and HGST HDDs back then because they were used in the ThinkPad and ThinCentre lines.
Did you notice anything? They are identical! Only the stickers and names are different.

Just noticed that I haven’t posted my first mechanical keyboard here, even though it’s on my profile banner.
This’s the Leopold FC660M with MX Cherry Blue switches, thick PBT plastic and double shot keycaps.

I haven’t touched web backend development since 2021, so I built a simple website to refresh my knowledge.
For the site, I choose TypeScript, Node.js, SQLite, Fasify, Prisma, Pug and guess what? I’ve never created SSR sites faster and more enjoyable.

I started learning Japanese. In the three days, I learned the vowels (a, i, u, e, o), the k-row (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko) with their dakuten versions (ga, gi, gu, ge, go), and the s-row (sa, shi, su, se, so) with their dakuten versions (za, ji, zu, ze, zo) from hiragana.

Yesterday I used my Thinkpad T470 with Linux to install Onion OS on my Miyoo Mini and fill it with ROMs because it was much easier than doing it on a MacBook Air. Not because the Air doesn’t have a card reader, but because of the better UI/UX for such job.
In 2008 I switched to GNU/Linux because my old PC wasn’t powerful enough for Windows Vista. Then, in 2010 I bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and shortly after that I installed Linux on it because Linux was better. Now I use a MacBook with macOS and I can’t say it’s better than a ThinkPad + Linux.
If your laptop is stranded on Windows 10, the solution isn't a new laptop. It's a new operating system.

Seriously, I don’t understand how you all fit a piece of art into a few pixels.

Yesterday I encountered a GSoD (Green Screen of Death) on the iPhone 13 mini. There are many tips on the Internet, but none of them make sense because it’s a hardware issue (it may also be a software issue, but in my case it’s a hardware).

I returned to BluSky after a year. Needed to step away from social media to fix my mental health.
During that period I discovered one interesting thing: using social media creates impression that I owe something to everyone I follow.

I’ve written a user-friendly guide to remapping the keyboard keys in Linux: github.com/Alekamerlin/...
The guide only describes the method with hwdb. In other words, all remapping will work at the udev level, at a lower level than the display server (X11, Wayland).

I found this old sketch in my sketchbook. I wanted to make a fan poster for the New Dominion Tank Police anime, drew a few sketches and decided to drop the idea because of my drawing style.
I love the anime so much that I’m ready to make any fan arts based on it.
