The topic of toxic grind culture has come up before on my site, but, as it does, it comes up again and again on social media, especially in places where there’s a lot of focus on tech and entrepreneurship. As someone whose been doing a multitude of things, for multiple...

The “Year of Linux” has been pretty much every year, ever, since its inception. At least, that’s what I’ve been led to believe. But, due to recent developments with Windows becoming more and more an unusable garbage-land full of malware and spyware, that “year” seems to be inching closer and...

So, it’s been about a week since I jumped into OpenSim, and took it all in as if slamming a shot of tequila. I made some judgments right off the bat, and a little bit of an angry, now deleted post, where I decided I wasn’t thinking about things correctly....

Today, the long-awaited “Happy Ghast” update seems to have finally hit both versions of Minecraft. This, of course, means that the Bedrock version now has the spicy visuals, and Java just the Ghasts. Which is fine. The Happy Ghast is an inversion of … uhm, the Sad Ghast? Is that...

Earlier, around a month or so ago, I accidentally somehow completely erased my forum. PHPBB’s guided update instructions weren’t, uhm … correct, in some ways. At least, I followed the instructions, and nothing happened when I attempted to implement the update. So, I tried a different way, which I had...
