It's pretty nice, I will definitely have to steal that "I miss XP" badge! Three suggestions:

• Your RSS feed does not validate on the W3C, it seems you have one slash too much in the atom:link and something wrong with date parsing, because November 10th 2022 is in the future and is on a Thursday and not a Tuesday. The atom:link is not really important, but the broken date likely means an RSS reader will either catch fire, ignore this specific blog post entirely, or set its date to the current date, ignoring the one you put.

• I [...]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as 弱肉共食, is in fact, GNU/弱肉共食, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus 弱肉共食. 弱肉共食 is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "弱肉共食", and many of its users are not aware that it is [...]

Ideally, I would like to be waking up at 5 or 6am every day, including weekends, but I rarely reach that because I never go to bed at a fixed time… I've been trying to go no later than 11pm to wake up at 6 lately, though sometimes I end up going at like 2am. I guess at some point I'll get tired enough to go to sleep at a more normal time…

By far, the 280, and most of my relatives who eat McDonald's stuff share that opinion. In France, the 280 is a burger that weighs 280g, with a square bun, a larger-than-usual patty, tomatoes, onions and some pepper sauce. It's pretty simple, but it never disappoints, and the quantity/price ratio is pretty good. Unfortunately, it's a semi-temporary burger (it disappears from the menu then comes back every sometimes), so gotta get it while you can. I think it's on the menu right now, gotta go get some soon…

I'm not sure I really am. Do lil mew mews sip you? If so then yeah maybe I could be one.

Just like almost everything in life, this type of stuff can be nice when used properly and only when appropriate, and otherwise can quickly be a recipe for disaster. Macros are one of those 'implicit' programming concepts, the stuff that you just can't notice by simply reading code, and I've been bit enough times by all kinds of implicit programming that I started actively avoiding that.

If your macro has some way to let developers notice that it is a macro just by reading the code where it is used, like how you will always notice a Python decorator or a C# attribute, then that's fine as long as the name of macro gives away [...]

If you want to have more interesting conversations, maybe try sending me email? I like to have emails from friends instead of only getting receipts from online orders…

a,, I often feel out of place on fedi and definitely not cool lol so thank you

Coding one would be interesting I guess, but I just don't have the inspiration for that, I'm not imaginative enough… I also don't have much experience with RPGs in general so that doesn't help :')

I had a few tries at pixel art and I guess I know the gist of it but I'm far from being able to draw anything from scratch really. I am very slowly (5 minutes a year) working on a project to retrieve all of the Win9x pixel art, here, and it should involve more work than just some cropping since I want to get full objects in transparent images: for example, i'll have to finish the briefcase in this pic. But I'm not starting from nothing…

I've got a reading list on my wiki but I really need to read more, and not just non-fiction… But well the last book I read, a few months ago, is inspiring if you want to write more things, be it blog posts, books, papers, etc.: Weinberg on Writing: the Fieldstone Method

All I can do is draw simple schematics, usually in my dream journal when I'm trying to describe the layout of a room. I got some nice tools a while ago because I wanted to practice sketching a bit but I have no time at all to dedicate to that and I'm not even good enough to feel motivated to do it…

I wouldn't pat myself but apparently some people want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fun fact, I forgot the name of a pogo stick and asked a few coworkers for help until we found it, so replying to that question cost my company an hour of salary

Maybe you meant going back in time using a pogo stick? That sounds like an interesting low budget sci-fi TV show waiting to happen.
