cut & paste
September 22, 2020 in Meta
this is only a test. had i really known how to this,
that would’ve been an ordinary carriage-return-
-line feed the way boole intended. but *no*! instead we get this crazy horse-shit where the editor puts in the c-r-l’s like it knows better than one’s own living self where the damn things are supposed to go. so the whole thing’s off. it is impossible to work under these conditions.
below the asterisks, cut-&-pasted stuff. somehow this still works. not for long i bet. anyway none of my concern now. at long last i can drag-and-drop JPGs (or what have you) from web to mac-book to web & have it work pretty much (instead of driving me around the bend trying to figure out what they want me to do with that g-d d-mn mouse). no good to me now that i can’t enter copy in any of the interfaces without wrestling robots. just another lost blog-slash-soundcloud-slash-photothingum. fuck this forever.
stuff by me. go read some.
