I also remember noticing that the theme actually used to add certain functionality and was more than just a reskin. However, I can't quite remember what said features were.

I also remember that the theme used to change the experience so drastically that some effects were permanent and nothing but a reinstall could fix it.

When I was young, I actually used to install an IE8 theme on what was either Firefox or Opera or both.

Why choose Mastodon over BlueSky? We could use an account like yours to make this place better.

I think Android needs a quick settings toggle for the proximity sensor.

Seems to be a lazy day for my whole city. I woke up after 10 when I usually am already eating breakfast by 7-9.

Reached the gym around 1230 as opposed to the usual 8-10 and turns out that my friends who arrive around 12 are yet to reach.

Also, the gym is so empty today there's like 4 people.

No, It was much simpler. A kind of acceptance. I still have regrets, but for a moment there, I felt better. Maybe I have healed by a tiny, insignificant amount.

Yes, I ended up skipping leg-day once again but this time I had a good reason. Perhaps, the only correct reason.

myself than I'd walked in with.

Talking to him about my past hadn't just been insightful for him but it was also a reminder that maybe I’ve done more right than I give myself credit for.

I didn't feel overly energised or motivated. I didn't feel a wave of self-love or invincibility. [↓]

I could see he was someone with great potential trying to make each day count, learning as much as he could from everyone he could look up to. I'm flattered to even be one of them.

We both left the gym really impressed with one another. But more importantly, I left the gym with more respect for [↓]

when you're living in Pakistan.

He said he'd been working on his AI based startup for generating ads.

Well, that's the only correct answer to "Why did you take a gap year?", I thought.

Over the next 30 minutes, we talked a lot about both of our life choices. He asked some great questions. [↓]

Today was leg day. But after 3 sets of squats, the teenager sharing the squat rack with me asked me for advice.

He told me he's an A-Level student, inclined towards a business degree, at my alma mater, and that he took a gap year for exposure.

That's what college is about, I said, especially [↓]

Interesting. So does it scrape engagement from the provided posts or does it find similar posts.

And what does it give you?

Thanks. I think I'll be watching ReBoot soon.

So we're feeding in ICP data and then in turn it's scraping LinkedIn?

That's interesting. Have you documented the process yet? I'm curious about the lead generation part of it.

Today, I can finally afford to buy actual figures and I own a couple of knockoff Optimus Primals (Original form and Transmetal 2), one Yolopark Primal from the recent movie and a handful of McDonald's transformers x Toy story figures.

Apologies for bombarding your post I just got excited hehe.

The whole world of transformers lore and franchises that I had previously had zero exposure to.

I used to make my own action figures using matchboxes, empty bottles, toothpaste caps, straws and paper even. [↓]

And turns out, that both shows were made by the same company: Mainframe Entertainment.

I'm one of the lucky few people who grew up watching Beast Wars despite living in Pakistan.

I was obsessed. Years later when the Transformers movie came out, I recognized the autobot insignia and discovered [↓]

TIL about ReBoot for the first time. I googled it, saw the animation and thought "hmm this looks like Beast Wars is it from the same era?" Turns out, it was. So I thought, hmm but wasn't Beast Wars considered like one of the pioneers of fully 3D shows.

So I googled "Reboot Beast Wars" to see... [↓]

Pakistani driver logic

- Drive dangerously fast in residential areas, car parks and anyplace walkable

- Drive slower than walking on roads. Bonus points for braking to a halt in the fast lane.

If we switched overnight to left-hand drive, no one will notice and everyone would be more correct.

Gym closed until Tuesday and I've no idea how to spend my mornings until then.

... taking the trusty old banana milkshake and yesterday it occurred to me that I could just blend that homemade peanut butter in my shake.

Love it.

Wife randomly made some peanut butter for me a long time back and has since been randomly trying to force me to eat it because she thinks if I don't eat it, it's probably not good.

A few days ago, I ordered Whey Isolate but it never arrived and until it does, I've no choice but to continue... [↓]

Indeed. I think "generative prompt transformer" is actually a very apt, verbose and swordfish name. But I'm curious as to how you'd define "understanding".

Yesterday, that also changed. I was energetic, disciplined and excited to better myself.

I hope tomorrow is no different!

I wish I could sleep and wake up even earlier but I am yet to achieve that. Despite the obviously better schedule, diet and performance, I'd also continued to feel feverish, tired and weak upon entering the gym every morning and continued to struggle to push myself as well as I used to.
