Happy New Year to all the CST people like me. Here is to a lot of hope and freedom this year.

>good luck with your gamedev stuff by the way, I know it's something you're passionate about.

Thanks. I made a bunch of games back in high school (even though they really aren't good) but I had no time during college. I don't know how much time I would have in the future. Probably could just devote my weekends to it.

@TheConversationUS @issdeinschnitzel Hi @TheConversationUS

I’m following up on the report you forwarded to my server.

You are right that this is not Twitter; things are different here. And that’s why I’m telling you today to go fuck yourself.

I don’t know who you are or what this is about, but you should know better as a nonprofit to not make useless reports and waste people’s time. Please make use of the BLOCK and MUTE buttons at your disposal.

@Indigo I pretty much have the same goals. Except I also have gamedev goals (especially since I switched from C#/MonoGame to C++/SFML) and I would like to try to be more self-sufficient as possible. My parents said that I can still use their backyard to grow food. And I want to support local businesses as much as possible. The fact that I got to know local farmers this year was a huge plus in my book.

Pretentious Year End Post 

2022 has been a year, for me, of what I would consider "necessary mistakes."
I've made some terrible decisions this year, that I had to put a significant amount of time and money into correcting, but I think I'm almost there.
2022 wasn't the worst year of my life, but it's been one of the most disappointing; partially because I tried to accomplish too much, too fast, and without proper panning.
Going into 2023 I have less lofty but much more realistic goals:
- I want to accomplish *something* every week. Doesn't need to be huge, doesn't need to change the world, it just needs to be some sort of tangible improvement to my or someone else's life.
- I want to end 2023 in a situation as good or better then I start it with. If, this time next year, I am in the same situation I'm in now (roof over my head, enough food to eat, enough money to live comfortably, etc.), I will consider that a victory.
- I only want to file ONE W2 for 2023, in other words I don't want to change jobs for the first year in my working life. I like my job okay right now, and I want to end 2023 with the same job, unless of course it goes out of business or gets significantly worse.
I think all of this is entirely do-able, and during this I want to set things in motion for 2024, which I plan to make the "changes" year.

At any rate, happy New Year Fedi, I hope your goals are achieved in 2023, no mater how great or modest they may be.
Keep on, keeping on.

This is a great story of how Barnes & Noble’s new CEO who was hired in 2019 has turned around the company. Sales are up, it opened 16 stores this year and plans to open more next year.

The secret is the CEO really likes books and readers. So he stopped doing deals with publishers to promote their latest books & NYT best sellers and encouraged individual stores to promote books they found most interesting.

So simple yet…

In other news, the phrase "global citizenship" has been added to all the places you'd expect it to be added, so give it a few months and we'll start hearing about it in earnest out of Europe.

You can now kill the enemy. Deleting the object is so much different than what I'm used to. In C#, I could remove the object from its respective list within one of its method because it would be garbage collected. In C++ I have to delete the object outside of the object itself.

@Duine @Fiddle @Phil @kerosene Not to mention that their are still jobs that require the jabs and even conventions that require everyone to be vaxxed, boosted, and masked.

@Moon Probably yes. He has some cancer that's killing his immune system and doctors don't know what to do.
