Windows is the bootloader to my browser

Windows is the bootloader to my browser

Browsers are such memory hogs. I bet if we got rid of the operating system and made broswers the operating system they would run a lot smoother. Less layers to deal with I guess. Of course that would be a whole new computer. Kinda like a Chromebook I guess.

Thinking of wiping my laptop and installing Linux, Ubuntu version. Memory management in Windows 10 is pretty bad and my computer keeps hanging. I've heard Linux has better memory management. I still have to assess if all my important apps have linux versions, but I'm enamored by switching. I have used Linux before.

Wrote an article on quantum computing the other day on my blog. May be a little redundant considering what others have written but it was a good exercise in putting my thoughts down in words.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find liscensable images of quantum computers.

Just spent 25 minutes working on my Chinese. Think it was worth it.💬🇨🇳

Just finished a Chinese lesson (on my phone). Little discouraging because I was reviewing words I didn't know very well. But I got through it. I've been learning Chinese for a few weeks total maybe including a break.

Watched a video on the dangers of AI last night. I used to think it was just fear-mongering about AI being dangerous, but I'm not so sure anymore. Pretty good video. You can see it at: https://youtu.be/MnT1xgZgkpk

Wrote about half of my new draft of my script Lords Of Destruction today. Script is about programmers and hackers (and inbetween). I just kept writing and writing. Logged 2:45 today. More to go.

I came up the other day with a story idea that centered on a future created by Elon Musk where self-driving cars had AI personalities via hacked software on the cars. Wrote down a few paragraphs but it didn't go too far.

Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a filmmaker and web developer by trade.

I'm a pretty active Twitter user but wanted to give Mastodon another try. I joined a server a long time ago but stopped because the people on the server did not have the same interests as me.

My interests as follows:
- Filmmaking
- The Bible
- Programming
- 3D Art
- Music
- Photography
- Science (esp. Quantum Mechanics)
- Books (usually nonfiction now but I've read a lot of fiction)
