My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.
** Thinking about week notes **
I’m thinking about week notes again. I like the idea, but it is a form I struggle to keep with. To stick to. It feels sorta like a one sided conversation. Broadcast. I’d like to make it more of a conversation.
I’ve made two new little games since the start of December. Both are installments in the adventures of the little black square who first showed up in hill. Mountain is sort of a sequel to hill. Rather than zoot down … ⌘ Read more

Sometimes it recovers automatically others it will sit repeating the same error until rebooted where it will work again.

I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I’m impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I’ve run into very few wrinkles, even using Google’s proprietary apps with GrapheneOS’s “sandboxed” version of Google Play Services. The main problems I’ve noticed: I can’t cast, and Google Timeline doesn’t seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).
IRCCloud is shareware and proprietary :(. Free period only two weeks and after your connection disabled after two hours of inactivity. Maybe Quassel or TheLounge is better?
I’m enjoying Wesley Chu’s Tao and Io series. Spies, action, ancient aliens. Some funny parts, some interesting world-building parts, some action-filled parts. I picked up The Fall of Io at random from a library a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be the last in a series of six (technically two series), so after finishing that I read the first and am partway through the second. Usually I try to read series in order, but this way is interesting. One thing I liked about The Fall of Io was that it it followed many points of view with somewhat conflicting interests, some more evil than others, and I felt sympathy for most of them. (I was kind of hoping it would be about Jupiter’s moon Io, but it wasn’t, but I’m satisfied with what I ended up with.) (2/4)
