Hmm…this has me thinking, maybe I’ll change up my Hugo site a little, so that there’s no dropdown menu - it’s the only thing javascript is needed for.

Thank you for this, some points that I’d not even considered, and a helpful reminder to myself to try and get that javascript from 99% to 100% unused. :)

It’s a line from Ice Cube’s song “It was a good day” :)

I have a silly reason! I got a windows phone and loved it, so was happy to use Edge (when it was still its own thing and not effectively Chrome).

Edge’s PDF viewer was great, and in general things were speedy, got out the way, and best of all it synced bookmarks to my phone. :) I also liked the rewards system for using bing, and between microsoft and google, I regarded google as worse ethically. (Obviously… yeah not a solid argument)

I think I switched back to firefox and variants mainly because I started caring about my data, open-source, and also those advantages Edge had were eroding in real-time, with adverts, nagging, and Windows things creeping in - the rewards ended, the chrome thing, it started feeling like the IE days again.

One of my coworkers uses it still, and it pains me to see what new AI gimmick is being shoehorned in.

If I stopped for dumb reasons, I like to think I came back wiser for it. :)

I want to be a great parent, and be able to make games and/or music for a living - dream I shall!

Short of that, I want to have a pet penguin and live in a quirky house by the sea like a character in some kids book, that sounds excellent.

Same on all counts, best of luck. ♥️

I love making editor UI for developer tools at work - way too much care goes into trying to make things pretty and maybe even help us save time if we’re lucky! 😅

I do, this is it! Recently remade in Hugo :)

It’s mostly things I’ve made or been interested in (music, game projects, musical web nonsense), but mostly just… I’ve always had this site, and am attached to it in a way?

It used to be the name of a comic I made for fun, and the gets used for everything to remind me to keep that feeling of fun and making stuff for enjoyment. :)

Must admit, I’m frequently torn between the private nature of why I binned facebook vs writing there, but meh, I’m happy and that’ll do.

I appreciate the thing Obsidian do where they seem to make things in parallel so there’s constantly income (in theory) - hopefully still do good games and it’s a way to stop layoffs after projects end. :)

This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)

Wait… this is EA… are they okay? This is very unlike them

For me, the last “ah yes, the future” moment was going from “broadband” to seeing real fiber at a friend’s house that was 100x faster. Insanity at the time :)

You can’t just make me vanish into a dark room and listen to an album…

… yet here I am, and I thank you. :)

You’re absolutely right, totally different family - I need to get tested properly and find out what’s okay to eat/be near :) mostly negligence on my part! 😅

Interesting… I am very intrigued by this, and will keep an eye out for it!

Great question! I’m not against the idea at all

Well… in truth, I need to get tested - I’m definitely a no-go on almond and hazelnut (i have the hospital trips to prove it!), but peanuts are just a precaution at this stage -it’s easier to avoid the lot if you see what I mean. :)

Woof! Wholewheat is classy, and a little snap never hurt anyone! The fact I’m not alone makes me very happy 😅

Is this like mint sauce you’d put on lamb? Peanut butter is allergy death, but mint and strawberry interests me!

I agree!! Crunchy uncooked spaghetti or lasagne sheet is a forbidden treat! I do rather enjoy it despite it being “horrifying”

My other nomination is Cheese and Jam sandwiches (jelly for americans) - a little savoury squish with my sweet is just lovely!
