I bought a steam deck when they came out (the cheapest one so I could upgrade the storage myself), and it’s a pretty nice device. But I honestly couldn’t come up with a use case for it. I think I just don’t like games as much as I used to.

100% Orange Juice and those types of games. It’s not super popular but also people love it. Personally I couldn’t think of a more boring type of game, even with friends there’s boardgames I’d rather play.

Why?

Gaming has gotten so huge that investors want to target the most lucrative segments of their market. It’s not that you can’t make money with games. It’s that exploiting addiction is better at wealth extraction.

Using a browser is definitely a no go for me. Lots of people are asking, why not just use vim instead of obsidian? Linking is important, I’ve been meaning to try neorg, I’ll get there eventually. To me writing the notes is secondary to finding, exploring, and reading the notes. I find vim is better writing things than exploring things, probably just a skill issue but I don’t really care.

If you leave them alone in the forest, they’re great at making babies. Put them in captivity and they don’t.

Damn, this picture has been around so long the kid in the picture looked a lot older when I first saw it.

I would not have guessed I would have quit drinking in my 20s, pretty sound financial decision.

Isn’t DC already super humid all the time anyway?

I’m not a security guy, what is the problem that this is supposed to be fixing? Like I guess you wouldn’t be able to use a virtuallised os to visit your banking website? Like I understand if you work for a bank you should only be able to access some things from specific computers, but normal people?

That’s what I was thinking, a probe would gather some information. Maybe we would send a probe of our own in their direction.

Can you get squash (juice concentrate) in the US? I took a shine to it in the UK, but all I can think that we have here is the frozen concentrate and maybe like some lemonade concentrate in a carton.

I’ve run out of devices to put Linux on, so maybe I’ll create some VMs today

Trump’s whole term in office has been difficult to follow. What’s going on now? What’s the truth and what isn’t? Politicians lie, but trump is the best at misinformation.

The thing is that we don’t know, but because of the environment his administration has created, you have to doubt everything he says and be skeptical of every event they’re involved in.

The conspiratorial culture of the far right is infecting every aspect of his administration. At this point it doesn’t really matter what’s true and what’s fabricated, so long as it can be spun into a media event to feed his ego.

I need to take a break from the Internet.

Probably been mentioned already, but ZFS and BTRFS have options for full disk compression. Though there is cpu overhead with higher compression settings.

I say keep em coming, it’s not a shit post unless someone doesn’t like what you’re posting

The most success I had at getting rocm working was just using containers.

In my neck of the woods (in the US) every public park has places for grilling. These places are usually kept clean. Local culture can vary a lot tho

Shit, my steam account is older than most of the highschoolers I work with
