House of Leaves

every year at my middle school. I think they had it split up like home ec for the first two semesters and health for the last two, or vice versa. It’s been a while, but I know we had a different main subject each year. like sixth grade was sewing and learning basic nutrition, seventh grade was basic cooking/cleaning/laundry, eighth grade a little more advanced cooking as we were trusted with more tools and techniques.

i also took another home ec style class as a senior in high school because… easy A and free food lol

probably some random person’s book of poetry

damn this is unfortunate. i liked waterfox too.

VRChat needs to work on its toxic af userbase tho

An overall solid series. I read Absolution last year and am about to start his Ambergris series as soon as my library hold comes in.

I’m with the once-a-weekers

i knew it wasn’t gonna mention the fediverse

• https://www.learnlinux.tv/ - i started with this guy’s bash scripting series. learning bash will definitely give you at least a vague idea of what these forum commands are doing

• i promote Codecademy every chance I get because they’ve got some really good free courses, and i actually subscribe to unlock the quizzes and projects. I went through the CompTIA Linux+ certification path last year and it covers a lot.

• the most important part: take notes. like you said, there’s too much to remember. you gotta have a reference, even a place where you store other references. I use Obsidian, so i use that to search for a topic i may already have notes on already. each topic has links back to references (so many itsFOSS and GeeksForGeeks.org articles, but also youtube videos).

finally, a friendly warning: anytime a linux user uses the word “just” as in “just do this…” Ignore them. It’s never “just” something. this means they have lost the ability to put themselves in the shoes of a new user.

we need more variety

sometimes just do nothing, literally. meditating I guess.

or go back to something familiar before I’m ready for something new again

yep i use it. the public servers aren’t nearly as active as discord, unless you’re in a server with a discord bridge. but i mostly use it for this one small server of close friends anyways.

it’s definitely a work in progress, more like a beta than a finished product, but I’m willing to stick with it as it develops.

do people still play Frets on Fire? everyone in my game design camp back in like 2008 put that shit on their computers lol

kbin was my first too. RIP.

I have the original wired HTC Vive with the two sensors that have to be nailed up near the ceiling. I’ve been hoping to find support for VR tech that old but it looks grim. And I really don’t wanna have to buy a new headset when this one still works.

it’s not a warning… it’s an advertisement. like “hey, come read me, I’m good enough to get banned by bigots.”

was an English teacher/tutor for a little while. it all makes me so sad and disappointed.
