Password recovery is probably the best use of your time, but also probably the most boring?

Does jumping to the first unread post of a thread work yet? It's hard to tell because I mostly get here on mobile, but I seem to recall that not working in the past.

A mobile friendly layout.

Oh yeah I meant to say this. Even if it's just changing the width of pages and making text a bit larger, it would go a long way. (Avatars should come back, too)

I'd pay off my student loans for a start, then buy a house. That's going to be hard, though, because it seems all houses being built these days are huge towering monstrosities with three car garages and no more than four windows. Bleh. I want a house that's more house than garage, thank you.

I might buy a Delorean, just because I've always wanted one, and maybe a Tesla 3. That's about it. The rest (And granted, there's probably not much at this point) would be invested in an IRA or similar. In fact, I probably wouldn't buy the Delorean.

Oh man, this is going to be embarrassing... I uhh... If I eat breakfast, it's total crap. The gas station I go to has these weird cheesy hash brown things that are the worst kind of garbage. I can't resist them, so I try not to stop there often. I usually forego breakfast, but if I feel the need, I keep a box of FiberOne bars at my desk. I want to be better but I'm not.

New mobile layout is perfect. Maintains that acmlm sensibility without sacrificing my ability to pick which page of a thread I want to go to.

Last night I was feeling pretty down, and decided my soul needed some work, so I dusted off my PSP and played a bit of Me and My Katamari. (For those who don't know, when you roll your Katamari, you are also rolling your soul.)

I really liked Descent, but I don't really know of any others. Have you bought Overload? Is it any good?

On the other hand, I don't like cereal. Now, that's a weird thing for me to say, because I love the way cereal tastes, it's just the idea of eating it that bothers me. One bowl is never enough, so by the time I'm done eating cereal, it's taken longer than if I just made an omelet! And the omelet would have been warm and tasted better. Cereal just doesn't have a good effort to satisfaction ratio.

I'm actually surprised you haven't been working in the industry for 20 years already! Your stuff was great when I first saw you probably a decade ago now.

As for college advice... Well, not really specific to online courses but just keep at it, no matter how impossible it seems. And talk to your instructors as much as possible! Since you're all online you'll be missing out on some of the networking you would normally get at a physical university.

Just keep talking to people, and send your portfolio out often! Good luck, I can't wait to see you streaming!

I always thought phpBB was pretty rad. If Invision was the Cadillac of message boards (And yeah, it was super bloated but it had everything you could ever want) then phpBB was like a sensible Toyota. Not too flashy, but definitely a good board.

Glad to see others thought SMF was weird. I always assumed I was the only one with that opinion.

hello again, I'm uhh... *checks username* nym, and some of you know me, others don't. I'm coming back because Xkeeper kept mentioning it on Mastodon and I kept thinking, "yeah, I'll go back there some time."

So uhh, yeah, little about me for those that don't know/remember: I have no personality and you should just ignore me.

I totally miss those late nights on AIM/Y!M/MSN chatting with my friends, but it's not those apps I missed (Never used 'em! Was always a trillian then pidgin user!), it's the real connections I made with people from forums Just Like This&tm;

I'd like to jump on something like this but since leaving school, socializing has just been so hard for me. I feel like I can't find the time to even jump on a computer let alone sit and chat for hours like I used to. Instant messaging was cool, but at this point in my life I can only use asynchronous messaging.

When I had my Blackberry Priv, I was an avid Termux user, because I had a keyboard attached to the phone. Now that I'm back to being a virtual keyboard scrub, I've found it less useful. I do have a blutooth keyboard I sometimes use, but it's just more of a hassle, and I'd rather pull out a real laptop or something similar if I were going to do something linuxy.

That said, termux is pretty rad.

I just give things human names. It's sort of boring but it works for me.

My phone is Marcie, my work laptops are Bonnie and Phoebe, my home laptops are Gordy and Simon, I have a VM on Vultr named Lilly, and my desktop is Alis-FX (Originally named Alis, then changed to Alis-FX when I put an AMD FX CPU in her).

Actually, now that I'm looking at it, my most recent devices are all named after Adventure Time characters. I didn't even intend to do that, except with Marcie and Bonnie, which I got at the same time. Simon and Phoebe are not named for their Adventure Time counterparts, they're just the names that I thought fit.

Whoa, when did GBATemp switch to XenForo? Jeez, they were one of the last IPB holdouts.

edit: In case you were wondering: I wanted to put zalgo text in because it's easy for humans to parse but pretty hard to scrape.

I think we all know the real solution to this whole "image" problem is to craft your images entirely in CSS code.

What's that, you say? Browser compatibility? Hmmmh, don't think I've ever heard of such a term before.

;P

Or better yet, just base64 encode your images!

I see how that could be overwhelming, but I think it's a problem of trying to apply your twitter habits on Mastodon. I love Mastodon, and I love how easy it is to have a real interaction with another person. It's not just screaming into the void, it's talking to a few friends.

You might be trying to follow too many people? It's easy to do, but I think Mastodon really shines when you follow less than 100 people and actually try to get to know them. And when it does get to be too much (And yes, it still does, something something beaming information directly into your brain), it's very easy to just disconnect. Nothing pulls you back, except a conversation that will be waiting when you're ready for it. It's very refreshing.
