It's a line from Ice Cube's song "It was a good day" :)

I have a silly reason! I got a windows phone and loved it, so was happy to use Edge (when it was still its own thing and not effectively Chrome).

Edge's PDF viewer was great, and in general things were speedy, got out the way, and best of all it synced bookmarks to my phone. :) I also liked the rewards system for using bing, and between microsoft and google, I regarded google as worse ethically. (Obviously... yeah not a solid argument)

I think I switched back to firefox and variants mainly because I started caring about my data, open-source, and also those advantages Edge had were eroding in real-time, with adverts, nagging, and Windows things creeping in - the rewards ended, the chrome thing, it started feeling like the IE days again.

One of my coworkers uses it still, and it pains me to see what new AI gimmick is being shoehorned in.

If I stopped for dumb reasons, I like to think I came back wiser for it. :)

Wow said Goldbug! :) I just stumbled on this community and this looks like something I'd have loved as a kid :)

I want to be a great parent, and be able to make games and/or music for a living - dream I shall!

Short of that, I want to have a pet penguin and live in a quirky house by the sea like a character in some kids book, that sounds excellent.

Ubuntu all the way! :) Before I learned there were other ones, then wound up back on Mint again after a trip around the houses. :)

This pleases me greatly :) No offense robot overlords, but humans are much more fun to interact with! :)

That's so cool! I loved it, and then you panned around and it was like a little galaxy :)

 

I just saw this community, and wanted to cheer myself up with showing something I made one weekend a year or so ago. :)

It was meant to be a virtual goldfish bowl/screensaver gimmick to keep me company, but then I added interaction and it made me happy to feel like I was helping them? :)

Hope this is okay to share as I made this and the site it's embedded on (I didn't make itch.io that would be lots of work lol)

 

I could spreadsheet or make something but would like to ask, from searching there doesn't seem to be a program that'll let me list things to try and achieve, note them as done, maybe assign a score to each goal?

After losing a notebook, I thought I'd ask about a new-fangled approach. :) Thank you for reading this and happy new year! :)
