October Updates
I haven't really been active on here since March, as you can probably see by the recentness of my blog posts.
Lots of things have happened since March.
Tech
My laptop's screen broke! :(
It was kind of my fault for taking it with me for travelling. At least it wasn't so busted that I couldn't copy the important data from it.
I have installed Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi! I used to use Raspbian on it, but, with the release of Ubuntu 21.10 on October 14th I decided to give that a shot.
XFCE has been installed, but deactivated for now. I plan on using it only when I need to.
In the Release livestream the Ubuntu Team said that they will make Flutter tutorials in the future, which I will probably try out on my Pi then.
I'm thinking about getting myself an SSD. Up to this point I've only ever had a hard drive before, which is a very slow medium.
Worldbuilding
A week ago I took down the link to my "Pates" project from my gemini page. I think that I have not used all of my barely existing potential, and want to rewrite the articles.
It is just a little hobby of mine, but I noticed that at some point my fun and interest in the craft just vanished. At that point I probably should have gotten myself a break. But I didn't; I decided to keep on. After all, it was fun, so why should I stop?
Well, I did end up taking a break at some point. One that spawned months of creative void. When I eventually came back, I saw that what I had managed to come up with was something that I personally disliked, something that I wrote because I couldn't bring it over myself to give myself a break, until it came crashing down.
I pushed myself to complete things because it was fun, but I just couldn't come up with anything good; there was nothing I would proudly call mine. That being said, what I call 'good' probably is not good at all in comparison.
Though, come to think of it, I don't think I will ever be able to consider anything I make 'good'.
I don't even like the name of the project that much. I'd prefer for it to have none for now.
Miscellaneous
I have spent noticeable portions of April and May, and significant portions of July to October questioning my gender identity.
Still, I am not 100% sure with it, but I have appropriated the label non-binary for now.
Furthermore, I have bought myself a bra which I can pad when I want to to simulate boobs. However, I still have a lot to learn about feminine clothing: I still have a lot to learn about femininity in general. This is all extremely new to me.
