hey fedi o/, i love playing ffxiv and find it super enjoyable and it's been keeping my spirits high these days (enough to stay motivated for things).
though i have currently no income and very little in savings, i decided to subscribe to the full game as i've started reaching the end of free content.
if anybody can help me pay for it by donating, i'd really appreciate it <3

fun fact, the explorer used here is an actual authentic windows xp explorer, running under modern windows
i've tried my hand at a windows classic setup, definitely not finished by any means but i hope someone will find this interesting
it's cold outside so i dug up some old winter themed tea i had bought about a year ago.
the smell brings me back, i'm really a sucker for Christmas and winter in general
bro what the fluff is that how are you supposed to tell what this icon is if you have the monochrome ones on
something that impresses me a lot is the fact that my 2017 macbook air has the same design from 2010 and its still appealing and functional for normal use in 2025
this shit must have been the best thing ever back then when you look at all the netbooks and intel atom tablets that were around then
this might be a hot take but I prefer page-by-page browsing instead of infinite scrolling for several reasons:
- it gives you clear breakpoints to remind you to take a break
- you can scroll all the way to the top or the bottom to access UI elements in those places without losing your place too badly (especially if some of the links are purple, showing you what you’ve already clicked on)
- you can let the entire tab unload and then reload it later without losing your place either
- it’s more intuitive to have discrete webpages that are a fixed size, and to have no special behavior on scrolling, because that’s how 90% of the internet works
- it’s also just drastically simpler to implement (no javascript needed!) and eliminates tons of potential bugs
to be honest I am almost at the point where I’d call infinite scrolling a dark pattern - to manipulate people into browsing mindlessly without taking a break
I wrote a new blog post! have a read here
