See y’all in 2027. This past year felt like 2 years (maybe more), so I’m going ghost for 2026.

If websites are going to autoplay video without audio, then I really would like a "restart from the beginning, but with sound on" button.
Please and thanks.
So, could this potentially inadvertently motivate people to delete their socials?
I was originally planning on just leaving my accounts dormant. But, this has me considering full on deletion, because WTF.

As I prepare to embark on creating a personal website (for real this time, I swear (no, really (definitely this time (for sure)))), I've stumbled across an idea that may already map out what I was planning to create.
That is: to create a "Digital Garden" for myself.
(I specifically heard the term from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fj-OJ6RcNQ )
So, I'm gonna do what I do. Turn on "Violence and Variations" on repeat, and to spend some hammock time to read up on the topic:

EVERY time I order something online, I uncheck the “receive news and promotions” check box, and EVERY time, they seem to just ignore it.
I was looking into getting a personal coach, and I was quickly turned off by one website (🍓) when they mentioned that they may use AI to provide advice.
Please. If you're not going to provide actual, human coaching, then I can just talk to the chatbot that I already pay for.
The thing that may be the catalyst I needed to put "leaving Facebook" into motion: receiving duplicate birthday wishes messages from different people, indicating that they just pushed a "recommended" message button to wish me happy birthday earlier this week.
"Smile: it's your birthday!"
This future suuuuuuucks, dawg.
