Mario Breskic : Social Wall

Meine Social‑Media‑Beiträge – offen und ohne Anmeldung

  • Switched back to using my own name on tumblr.

    This is me acknowledging this change.

    I’m not writing this after hours, but I will maintain this blog as an after‑hours blog.

  • I see my rooms and spaces in the way a Captain sees his ship, or an engineer maintaining his machinery, but seeing useful rooms as tools seems apt as well. Ffffound on aredotna #asca https://www.are.na/peter-pelberg/room-as-a-tool

  • Inspired by that one person who uses my IFTTT applet “Mastodon Backup to OneNote and OneDrive” I’ve published another one of the applets I use for my own backup system: this time I’ve published the one I use for backing up my Instagram posts to OneNote (as a page), and to OneDrive (as a jpeg and the post’s text as txt file.

    You can check it out here, and scroll the screenshot below to see how it works.

  • Updated my social archiving system to only store the mastodon posts containing the hashtag because storing everything would just be a waste.
    Did I tell you that I use the service for that?

  • @mariobreskic:

    The post about repairing things, and why you as a creative might want to stay away from other creatives online, on social media: tl;dr, because content creators can choke the creativity out of you. Itʼs kind of what they do. asca

    • Since last week, my sleep has strangely split across two days at an interval, and now I am considering cutting down on caffeine for a while
    • The process of not worrying about things I can only worry at and over is progressing nicely
    • Taking inventory of my shop, found out I can just switch off my laptop’s keys and put my drawing tablet right on top of the keyboard, like a very expensive poor man’s Wacom Mobile Studio, if that makes sense; or just a laptop with a drawing tablet instead of a keyboard­−bonus: the keys are not being pressed either. Lucky!
    • Moved most of my ecosystem to Microsoft’s solutions, aside from graphic design software, which is still pretty much work in progress; there’s something entirely perverted about regular Windows users, where they use the OS, but shun all other products by Microsoft, especially in Germany
    • Turned a coffee table into a sort‑of Japanese sitting and reading affair; I want to tell you how much I enjoy sitting and working at this thing but I don’t know if that would make sense to you
    • Also taking stock of all the software manuals for my graphic design software I have and use; if you ask me, I am building up to something but I could not tell you to what−we’ll see if reading e. g. the Corel Painter 2019 manual in 2025 makes sense

    Note: in case you are like me, you were interested in investing in the Wacom ExpressKey Remote Accessory (ACK-411050), but if you are even more like me, you just realized that by looking at your Intuos Pro you already have its functionality integrated.

    It’s kind of like realizing that by using a keyboard with your iPad and Procreate, you can access a couple of shortcuts at the press of a key: there’s a lot to be said for understanding which tools you already own allow for additional affordance.

    Time for camomile tea and a cookie or two. Of course I am moving to that coffee table now and getting back to reading. It is just so nice to get away from the gaming‑chair‑and‑laptop‑seated‑at‑a‑table situation.

  • I feel like a cyborg buddha now. Everyone else in disagreement feels just old and grumpy now, chasing that old high of being the smartest kid in school by the most tedious act possible: trying to turn something futile like online privacy into proof of intelligence.
    I’d rather see ads for stuff I need and which interests me.
    I’d rather have the future iterations of my devices affected by my use.

    Keep your privacy. I keep my peace of mind, now that I’ve found it.

  • Spent most of the day on the frontend of my website. Happy so far. You can check it out here: mariobreskic.de/

    Had to remove the plugin because, really? Who needs it.
    Now, with that out of the way, I can get back to my actual work.

    Also, as you can most likely tell from reading codeandcanvas.tumblr.com/post/ I’ve decided to get rid of Firefox, ad blocking, telemetry denial, and so forth, because it is an absolute waste of time, psychic energy, and turns you into an utter wimp!

    Take it from me: don’t waste your time on blocking ads, anonymity, and all that stuff UNLESS you are being paid to do so.

    Everyone else, me included, should not ever worry about any of that.

    Enjoy the internet. The people who tell you otherwise are just trying to sell you their latest books with subtitles like

    “I know everything and you know nothing, buy my book so I can insult you while I praise myself”

    and

    “I also do TEDx talks if you pay for everything, you should see my hourly rates for talking to an audience of people who are already in agreement with me but are willing to pay to hear someone else say what they think”

    Don’t fall for it. Install Chrome, Edge, or Safari, and be done with it.

    Bet on yourself. Trust yourself. Propaganda is a meme. Don’t fall into the Firefoxhole.

    I have not been this relaxed in years. I’ve even turned on telemetry on my devices, sending optional data, too.

    Because I am a customer, and the only way to guarantee my own satisfaction is to take part.

    Otherwise, we all end up with a world in which nothing suits us because we refused to participate, turning ourselves into fringe cases for some arcane poll.

    Bring on the ads, my wallet decides what goes anyhow 😉

    Here is my peace offering to everyone: you get to keep your data, I get to not having to waste one single minute on treading water ever again.
