Yeesh. Took a break from Bluesky and the internet at large for a few months only to come back and within days apparently commit unforgivable atrocities according to people who know nothing about me. Perhaps I'll just go offline again. Seems like it was better that way. Wishing you all the best ✌️

Apparently now is not the time to discover and like Omarchy, according to the internet? Lol.

Been a lot more offline lately. Just powered on my Garuda Linux desktop for the first time in a couple of months and was reminded of some weird issues I was having before shutdown. Took the opportunity to wipe OS and give Omarchy a try and oh my...this feels really good!

Today I realized that for ~20 years I've been saying the name of this location in Old School RuneScape incorrectly...
"BurthROpe" vs. "BurthORpe"
Huh.

What a lovely website and how humbling it is to take stock of just how fortunate I am.
This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026.

Crazy concept to me. What a shame! I'm not even thinking about that. I just care if the content inside the book is interesting and well-written. I can't imagine living life caring about the gender of the person who wrote a book. That sounds exhausting.
As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

I started playing Grim Dawn (the base game) only recently and am thrilled with how good it is. It's taking me back to better times of gaming.
Grim Dawn's final expansion introducious a notoriously dangerous foe, and Crate Entertainment isn't going to nerf it - but it will let you turn it off if you really want.

Grim Dawn offers an answer to its final expansion's most controversial addition
The new Grim Dawn Fangs of Asterkarn expansion is off to a great start, and the team already has some changes coming to support players.

I don't mean to get political, but
“googling” things on the “internet” isn’t *real* research, and you shouldn’t support ANYONE who uses technology to work more effectively
REAL research requires carrying a medieval torch inside of an ancient dusty library, going tome by tome til you find the esoteric knowledge which you seek

Daily morning bike rides are going well thus far. Going for a ride while the sun comes up before everyone else is out and about is very rewarding! 🚲☀️

Regardless of whether you dip your fries in mayo, ketchup is the worst condiment/sauce for fries and I will not be taking any questions.
A reminder that in Belgium eating French fries with mayo is very common.
