Better learn fast or you’ll never find a mate. 80% of my communication with my wife is sending her an endless barrage of memes…and then having to explain why juvenile internet culture is funny.

Lovenstein is always gold. If you haven’t seen his stuff before then I would recommend going through the backlog.

Is there some sort of “index fund” for open source software. I use tons of open source software and intermittently sprinkle one time donations on certain projects. I’d rather have it simplified and donate regularly to a foundation that spreads the funds fairly to big projects and small ones and one that I might not use but benefit the world at large.

If I owned Twitter, I would sell it to a right wing but job, no hesitation. A shit platform will become a bit more shit and I get millions and get out of having to manage the shit show…there’s literally no downside.

They’re not slutty oranges. They’re slutsumas

Boost works great for filtering stuff out. If you’re not making heavy use of filters then you’re really not getting the best use out of social media. Why expose yourself to the unfiltered trash torrent from The Public?

Corporate virtue signalling is very much a flavour of the day kind of thing.

People who think organisations are genuine or caring or give a shit about them at all are deluded. The fanboys are the worst.

It’s part of video game history. In the early days of a genre developing, the conventions weren’t established.

Like in the early days of RTS, you had no idea WTF was going to happen with a right click or left click. Can units be queued? Do buildings construct or have a timer and then you place then to deploy instantly? Some game’s limitations are seen as part of their charm (e.g. Starcraft 1 and it’s limitations are considered part of their game mechanic now and valued as they are).

Some games are just painful though. Golden Eye for the the Nintendo64 binds look up/down with strafe left/right…which is insane now and needs to be remapped to make the game playable.

Retro games cab come with quite a bit of suffering though, in setting up emulators and compatability fixes and BIOS files to get things working properly. Although modern tools and guides simplify this, many consider these to be part of their enjoyment.

At least give it a “big oof”.

I welcome all my comrades to the patient gamer community. For those who require, we also have a subset of comrades in the retro emulation community. This is a wonderful place to be by choice. This is not a place of suffering.

AI investors:

I’ve kept both. Synology photos does auto upload from my+wife’s phones. Then Immich scans this as an external database to import.

Synology keeps the photos in a normal name and folder structure. So the files can be accessed and organised in a normal file browser. Moving to a different device or app is as simple as copying the files over. These folders are backed up off site so even if my hardware dies, I don’t have to set up Immich again before I can access the images as they’re normal image files.

Immich auto upload puts the photos into its own database that is not human readable. I didn’t want that. But I do want the AI tagging, search and fast browsing Immich has. If I didn’t already have Synology photos set up, then I might have tried using Syncthing to send photos to my NAS and then access through Immich.

You (the royal “you”) can enjoy watching sports if you want… But if you then criticise me for watching Street Fighter 6 EVO tournament stream, then fuck you.

Also, sort out this drinking and gambling problem with sports already.

I haven’t really seen this phenomenon myself. My phone and broadband have been cheaper, or faster for the same price, or at least static price+speed every year for the entire time mentioned in this graph. One issue is that home fibre connections are still not widespread and some people are trapped in single provider areas (fuck you Virgin).

I regularly have people presenting to me and have to give feedback. I’m now actively looking for messy presentation slides with typos and pressing them with questions afterwards to tease out if I’m just being given an AI copy/paste output or genuine work.

Correct

I’ve got this on my office desk and it is permanently set on the second lowest level.

Better buy the Steam controller quickly before AI companies decide TMR sticks are essential to feed the AI machine.

After reading all these comments, the impression I’m getting is: shithole country
