Well, that was longer than I hoped. I had to take some leave because my life got very busy. I was still active elsewhere, but this website was certainly neglected in the meantime. Don’t want to get whining like I did in past posts, but as usual, things aren’t looking fantastic. The AI craze has erradicated any hope of good work in an already oversaturated field, it made the prospect of self-employment refurbishing hardware economically infeasible due to the horrifically inflated prices of RAM and storage, and generally the cost of living as risen considerably in such a short amount of time. I’m frankly lucky to still have a home for the time being and not roaming the streets.

 But we have to still do what we can. I’m still maintaining the NTM Wiki backend, but everything else I’m having to just tend to my own errands and chores. I have given up hope getting actual work, which gives me plenty of time, too much time perhaps. I’m still figuring out ways to be productive in spite of everything, but time will tell what works. It’s astonishing how quickly everything went downhill and how every company is trying their earnest in making their platforms and services as awful as possible, but we have to still have to do what we can to fight against it. Something something literally 1984 whatever. Enough of the rambling though, we both have things we need to do.

Take care!
