Looking forward to: everything

Scared of: everything

I’m an optimist with a lot of anxiety :/

Verizon’s customer portal. Clunky, badly designed interface and what should be simple tasks end in dead pages, non-responsive widgets, and interminable loading screens. Just awful.

None of the age verification services respect privacy - that’s baked into the whole push for it. Because it’s not just about “verifying” people’s ages at a specific point in time, especially in the US, it’s about being able to prove you have in case anyone tries to sue you.

Headlines like this really need to put the emphasis on the cause, e.g. “UK Government Forces Bluesky to Roll Out Age Verification”

Nothing for about the last two years - before that? All sorts of different things. But finally realized pretty much every game was either just trying to get me to cough up more money, was a subpar experience because of interface/hardware limitations, and/or weren’t actually fun beyond giving me a brief distraction when I was bored.

If I get to the point where I want a mobile gaming option, I’ll just get a Steam Deck. Honestly the less time I spend attached to my phone, the better.
