Mandaris

 

Sup!

This isn’t great.

The UI not the shirt.

The Liquid Glass interface does not work well with smaller phones.

I don’t feel like I’m being a hater or a curmudgeon when I post criticism about Liquid Glass. I feel the detriments outweigh the benefits and stating that it will get better ignores the reality of its current state.

Part of me is wondering … | Leon Mika

My friend Leon was writing about separating the content he makes into different blogs because of amount of certain topics.

And I feel like they’re overwealming this blog in a way.

I’ve been thinking about doing something similar with my Crucial Track entries. In some ways, it makes a lot of sense because those are generated on a music focused site and then Micro.blog puts it on the blog and distributes it to mastodon and bluesky.

But, I’ve decided not to for two main reasons.

  1. I don’t want to introduce more complexity. Having another blog would mean that I would more places to maintain and make decisions on.

  2. I want place for all things Mandaris. The site has 80-90% of all the things that I create in one location. I don’t know who or what follows me or what they like. I do have different categories of posts and I might add something to the theme to make it easier to follow those specifically.

For now, I think I’ll keep everything here.

Kudos to those who are able to have multiple blogs!

I have this down as my movie of the year. I like it because of how it makes us feel about these characters as they move into a night that none of them will be able to forget.

I think I’m going through caffine withdrawal but it’s 4:42pm and I want to go to bed tonight.

Remember when we were talking about the Gulf of Mexico? Now we’re talking about Tylenol. It hasn’t been a year…

Ok. Really quickly. Take less than 2 seconds.

Tell me if a song is playing and what is the song.

A Halloween-themed playlist is displayed on a music streaming app, showing various songs and albums.

A handsome person in a hidden temple.

Just me hanging out before the ritual sacrifice at midnight.

I feel that the phrase “it’ll get better” should only be used on life and the obstacles we face and not products and services. Those are material and outside of what truly matters.
