macosxguru mentioned the golden-ratio emacs package, and it sounded useful, so I tried it. I didn't like it. My brain doesn't jibe with windows moving around on their own accord, I guess. But what was worse was that somehow, my Org files were being overwritten by the capture dispatch buffer. I lost my critical Daybook.org and Todo.org files and had to restore from backups. I've no idea how that could have been happening, but it started as soon as I installed golden-ratio and stopped when I deleted it. No thanks :).

Banalities intentionally made difficult by shooting them on film.

I think about this sentence a lot.

I would like to read more articles in which the authors stop doing so much throat clearing or sidetracking so that we all know that they know about something tangental and maybe they don't approve of it.

In yet another example of worrying about something that hasn't happened...

I've been switching between Capture One and the Adobe apps for photo management for years. That's normal, but one of the reasons I've been twitchy about Lightroom Classic is that "what if...?" feeling. What if they stop supporting Classic and force everyone to the new Lightroom? I've been dealing with feelings about this since...2017. I should stop doing that.

As long as moving Mastodon instances doesn't bring my posts along, I'm thinking Bluesky is a safer long-term bet for my posts. I hate that I actually typed that and don't think it's crazy. I also hate that almost no one cares about federation or the risks involved with putting our trust in bluesky. Hell, I'm thinking about doing it, and I understand the problems. I, like most people, sometimes just want a place to hang out with everyone and have some fun. Right now Bluesky is more fun.
