  • I've recently had to change code editor (and therefore git client also) and at the same time change browser, because nothing fucking worked anymore, total jam of everything, now the kernel at least isn't overloaded (most of the time) but nothing fucking works because literally everything is fucking different, I tried to find an amuzing gif to link to, but none of the gifs would render in the browser, so I am linking to this wikipedia page, but if you are in China I guess your out of luck because that's blocked - Fuck everything, everything is broken and it sucks, and also these fucking GDPR bullshit consent forms everywhere are driving me nuts
  • While on the subject of death, Rachel from Hippie in Heels, a travel blog that I read, died a few days go (May 12th) - It's not clear what happened yet, but I'm saddened to hear this news, she spent a long time living in Goa and recently moved to Mexico, I always like to read about her travel adventures - death is rubbish
