    Eh, if you have the money, it’s probably fine.

    My current weird things:

    • Switched from my normal time zone to UTC on all my clocks.
    • Chose to study Esperanto instead of a more practical language because of its past of hopefulness
    • Plan on switching to a 13-month calendar in the future (is going to require modifying the opensource calendar I use to allow the change)
    • Switched to barefoot shoes not for health but the diminished cost in materials.
    • changed my keyboard to a dactyl manuform for the hell of it.
    • changed my keyboard scheme to Dvorak now.
    • changed my videogame control scheme from wasd to dcxf to accommodate the keyboard (in Dvorak that’s exku).

    We’re all alittle eccentric. Some of us more than others.

    I don’t think manipulating an addition problem so you can equate it to a multiplication problem would be a normal action.

    They are probably just using ADHD (not even a diagnoses anymore IIRC - it’s all ADD now) as a shorthand for ‘funky brain thing goin on’. Not exactly good, but I don’t really think it does any meaningful harm either.

    Edit: had it the other way around. It’s all ADHD now, not ADD. Thankyou for the correction @JackbyDev .

    Aren’t emojis pictograms and ideograms but not usually logograms? They’re direct depictions of concepts, not usually direct stand-ins for words like logograms are.

    Better examples of logograms in English I think are &, $, %, @,+,=, etc. We actually have a bunch we use all the time.

    Specifically they said ‘Kanji’, though, so I think they’re talking more about the actual character structure of :.|:;.








  • I think this is coming from a “plugins enshittify projects” mentality where the assumptions are:

    • code bases should be as succinct and stable as possible.
    • plugins add large amounts of unused code and obfuscate many granular aspects of program execution, increasing debug and research time.

    Seems that the author views that the above devs chose to use plugins instead of writing their own code and shot themselves in the foot by doing so. The final portion seems to suggest that the person pushing all these changes then bobs out before any of the problems caused by these changes actually get solved.
