About

This page is a deeper dive into who my intended audience is. It's probably not very clear who this is for and that seems to vary from day to day. Sometimes I want to have a big following and get feedback, whether it's upvotes or comments, or something similar. However, I always want it to be for me. I want this garden to be my operating manual for when I am either unable to remember something or when I am awakened after some kind of reboot.¹

I have a lot to say and nowhere to say it. In fact, I dislike social media so much, I won't link to any of them from here. But I will still say Facebook⁴ steals your data and does terrible things with it. I went so far as to completely delete my account from Facebook in 2017. I’m not a fan of Insta, Twitter⁵, Snapchat, or pretty much any other social media. Reddit _is⁶ was my go-to for many things these days, but it’s not the appropriate place for a blog and I’m too lazy to have multiple accounts to keep things more anonymous there. I've been giving Lemmy (A federated Reddit alternative) a try, so far so good after about a month.

So here we are. Just a blank slate with plenty of space and lots of things I want to say. No “friends”, likes, dislikes, or funny captions.² I might never allow comments, and I haven't decided who I will share this site's connection with me. Maybe I'll keep it completely anonymous, but for now, it is what it is.

UPDATED: 2022-06-19. I've decided for this to be live I need to start checking in updates instead of waiting for everything to be "just right". This is for two reasons, firstly of all, it's always going to be a work in progress and secondly I'll have a change log of all the updates I've made. It'll also make it easier to see the history of each file. I know I can do it locally, but I feel like if I'm going to commit to this whole developing in public³.
