Whenever I play this game stoned I buy myself a Mr Flamingo, I'm going to have three delivered tomorrow

Sewed on my Cybrewear patch finally. Fingers hurt. I like this bag, Tenba photo messenger bag. Fits my GPD and plenty of other stuff inside it.

So a few years ago I prototyped a @matrix client and API library in #Emacs and gave up on it when I realized I didn't want to be trusted to implement E2E. Another emacs community member Alphapapa has since picked up development and has made great progress on the client without needing to worry about E2E themself. Meanwhile, the Matrix folks have been implementing a proxy server which presents encrypted rooms to clients incapable of encryption. Yet another fellow Emacs community member has written a blog post about how to connect to a matrix account with encrypted rooms, from Emacs.

Things are happening, momentum is building ...!

Hey #Emacs tell me about your modeline. Do you customise it? How do you do that?

Play Cogmind https://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/

A hyper-intelligent interplanetary race (somewhere close to a Kardashev Type II, say) arrives on earth tomorrow, and send a broadcast to every thing with a screen that they will offer equivalent intelligence and immortality-equivalence to any creature which agrees to leave this planet and not return -- they want to return it to its pre-intelligent state and elevate us to a race of interplanetary beings, ostensibly.

They will be leaving the planet shortly and taking with them, in some fashion, the ability to extract hydrocarbons and enrich nuclear fuel.

They are unwilling, and frankly unable, to tell us what this will do to our Selves, they have a fundamentally different understanding of brain psychology than we do.

i also got some bi luo chun, a distinct and sweet chinese green tea made from the first first buds of the first flush, supposably.

I want to get to know the Miro people better to understand their sourcing methods. Asha was very transparent about how they sourced their teas, and it was refreshing.

I had the happenstance today of finding that Miro Tea in Ballard had some Taiping Houkui #tea for sale off their menu, and snapped up a few ounces of it.

About a month ago I learned about this tea from this Mei Leaf video about "grandpa style" brewing it in the cup that you drink from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iW_gd_ixSQ

The leaves are large and light and it's very hard to brew to bitterness, and indeed I'd been looking for something that I could grandpa brew easily throughout the day since my zojirushi is up a flight of stairs. most of my teas are heavily steamed and pretty unsuitable for grandpa brewing, unless I carry dental floss. really looking forward to this tea!

there is a fiddly thing in my laptop where when you close the lid the keyboard keys, uh, sink in to the bezel so that they're flush.

i had my keyboard replaced due to uh minor liquid penetration uhh like six months ago and the keyboard didn't do that "rise-and-fall" any more. the laptop would wake up in my bag whenever i went out with it, and the pressure of the keys was damaging the display.

it's this spring-loaded mechanism attached to the display hinge, really clever thing, it drives a pin in and out when you close and open the display. that was installed incorrectly, and unsurprisingly so, it turns out i have to install the display to the bezel with it indexed to like 80-90 degrees. logistically obnoxious. and of course i realized this *after* i took out the keyboard, all forty 1mm screws.

but now my laptop feels better when it's closed
