@philsalv.bsky.social hi! I just chatted with you quickly at save the games, I’ve got email and contact info on my site d8d.org feel free to reach out through here or anywhere else!

as my joblessness continues, i've now spent like 2 days configuring a new neovim install from scratch. the only way this could get more dire than recompiling the linux kernel with a patch, is if it were emacs instead. but maybe i'll become a weird neovim guy!

4 days into not having a job and i'm already reduced to figuring out how to patch and build a linux kernel to fix an audio issue, god this has really hit me hard huh

since i've had two people ask me if i still have a job today, nothing has happened yet AFAICT. i do think it will be bad, but i don't buy the current sets of rumors. if it hits me i should be more than fine for a good long time (esp if union is able to help) so worry for others!

i don't think i'll ever have a professional legacy that anyone beyond me or my friends will know or care about, but if i do, i want it to be the compass in quake 2. i fucking love that thing and how well it worked, and its opt in nature especially as the Yellow Paint Discourse continues.
