In the style you’ve done, my first thought was “Uncle Ruckus” from the Boondocks. Either way, great job mate.

It’s clearly bad juju if you dont then save again just to be sure.

Mostly weird looks from strangers and random offers of tissues/napkins.

As much as I dislike TikTok and short-form video in general, I really don’t think this falls on TikTok. The idea of middle-schoolers discovering they can choke themselves out has been around as a “thing” since at least the late 90s.

We knew it as the “Space Monkey”. And yeah, the whole idea was to chokehold yourself until you nearly/did pass out. I suspect it has more to do with the timing of learning things like biology, and the immaturity of middle schoolers finding the idea of blacking out to be funny.

I hadn’t thought about the Kofi banner thing, and this is anecdotal though my experience, but upon seeing that mentioned my mind immediately jumped to the Steam Workshop; at least with some of the games I play, it’s very common to see some form of “Donate”.

Setting that aside, the thought occurred to me of somehow tying something we’re all used to seeing and interacting with - usernames - into something that if one were so inclined, could interact with somehow to pull up something like a QR code to their “donate box” of choice.

I have no idea how it’d be actually implemented, but it doesn’t seem impossible that something like that could allow for both traditional fiat payments, crypto, or even links to “Yoder’s Rent-a-goat”. I mean, I’d work for a goat as payment, so why not.

QR codes themselves are pretty visually meaningless, and that physical step of the user having to scan it would be that “fully intentional” aspect that’d keep things from being somewhat predatory (thinking in-app payment type stuff).

<shrug> I have no skin in this game, so just thinking out loud on this, is all.

On the one hand, people should be able to make a living.

On the other, places where every Tom, Dick and Harry has their hand out expecting payment for the most inane things (i.e. tipping culture, states where billboards are allowed…) turn pretty crap pretty fast.

Something to remember is that advertising on the internet was a slow-roll at first… until all of a sudden, everyone has ads and popups.

I’m fairly confident it’s Obsidian, and not sure if the theme’s even been changed, as the default Obsidian in dark mode looks the same. Not sure if Logseq uses the same icons like on the left, but Obsidian does for sure.

The same tool that can be used to permanently activate a Windows install can be used to permanently activate an Office install as well; including 365.

Oh, and the tool to do so is open-source.

Or you could just dump Microsoft entirely (unless you need Excel in particular). Either way, it’s free.
