Migration PSA

Once Retrospring.net shuts down, I plan to migrate to Fragsturztaube.

If you're moving there too, feel free to follow me, but don't expect me to answer questions in a timely manner yet. I do not intend to be fully active on here until the OG Retrospring shuts down. My limit for how much social media I can handle is low so I don't intend to be on two instances at once!

I might put up a page somewhere on one of my websites to include some of the long answers I posted on Retrospring.net, so they don't disappear after it dies.

Do you ever work outside your core work hours?

No, because I wouldn't be paid for it. If I ever go over my normal amount of hours, I catch up by working less on the following days.

How many plushies do you have?

5: blåhaj, smolhaj, two teddy bears, and a smol and very colorful fish i called Smol Fish that had been my favorite plushie for about 15 years.

You should do like those emacs enthusiasts who do everything in emacs but with RSS...

Do you use RSS for your TODO lists?

What characters do you know about?

When you see pictures of Kasane Teto, how do you feel?

I feel nothing in particular, it's just some images of yet another character I know nothing about lol

What do you think of Epicurus?

I have barely looked into epicureanism so I really don't know what to say about it. It exists, I guess 🥴

When you see pictures of Kasane Teto with baguette, does it fill you with pride for being French?

I don't feel any pride for being French. I barely even associate baguettes with the French nation, they're just one kind of bread.

What will happen to all your great answers to questions on this site? Some of them are pretty worthy of being archives I think.

I intend to at least export all the data before the shutdown. I'll turn off the askbox when I do so, so new questions will have to go to my new account. The export structure looks easy to play with but I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet. It might just become yet another RSS feed or something like that.

What do you think of glasses?

Probably the only acceptable option I have to handle my poor eyesight, since I don't want to have to bother with contacts and don't want to go through a surgery. They're extra useful when I'm on my scooter since I basically have a windshield for my eyes.

What is the worst piece of software that you wrote?

WC.NET, a "toilet simulator" in VB.NET with Windows Forms that I wrote on my friend's computer remotely over VNC, while he was teaching me VB.NET. You just typed a command like "pee" or "poop" or "clean" and see a picture of whatever you asked for with a progress bar that filled over a few seconds.

Android or iPhone?

Android (ungoogled though, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS), especially because with some Android phones you might be able to switch them to the secret third thing, postmarketOS.
