Thanks. I left Handbrake rendering in there overnight. My poor nvme SSD.

Same. This 7a might be my last stock Pixel OS.

I miss when Google was small, fun and gave us what we wanted. I still have my Nexus One somewhere.

Enshitification took over.

There’s a local council in my community that is gunning for an AI data center in my county. People are livid, but I don’t think it’s going to be enough to stop the construction. It’s shady as fuck with hidden shareholders that nobody will reveal.

I’m open to any and all suggestions on how to prevent this data center from being built. Peaceful ideas or otherwise.

The HBO series Silicon Valley was right. We need a new Internet.

Either that or keep meddling politicians from further fucking up the one we already have.

It’s ‘beyond’ the environment.

I left Facebook after 18 years. It’s nothing like what I originally signed up for.

Facebook is nothing but boomers, bots and AI generated click bait. A cesspool of our own creation.

Burn. It. All.

Curious. Are they as divided as we are in the West on domestic and international issues?

I know of a certain man with a funny mustache from Deutschland who would get a hearty chuckle out of this genocidal business, given who is committing it.

I’ll never understand Spotify. If it’s such a pain in the ass why do people use it? Napster was big when I was in high school so if I find a song I like, I go download it. Sometimes it’s piracy. Sometimes it’s a legitimate purchase. Whichever is easiest.

Done. The end. It’s mine forever.

As far as discoverability goes it helps that there have been no new music releases in the past couple of decades that I care about.

Fuck Israel and fuck their government. Their citizens deserve better.

Yeah it’s a typo. I posted this late.

I stuck a 2TB SanDisk Extreme microSD card in my 512GB launch day Deck and haven’t noticed much in the way of performance, but I’m not playing Crimson Desert on the thing.

Anything remotely modern lives on the SSD. The rest, along with roughly 4000 ROMS, is sitting comfortably on the microSD card. Works for me!

RCT made my night classes in 2003 tolerable.

I just got one of the 8BitDo 40th Anniversary NES controllers so I’m good for a while.

I don’t use the touchpads on my Steam Deck in games so there’s not much for me here.

Yep. And the filter is as clean as the day it was installed.

Who wants food chunks flying around the dishwasher?

The land of the CCP is the last place I’d expect to see FOSS AI agents. Good for them! Beats the hell out of our greedy bastards in the United States.

Bronson Brosnan, Moore and Connery are my Bond trifecta.

I lost interest after Brosnan Brosnan and haven’t seen another Bond film since Die Another Day in 2002. I’m cool with it.

I can agree that part 3 might be the best one as an adult, but as a child that flying DeLorean and hoverboard was the shit in part 2 even though it did have a darker tone.

I’m no economist but the academic model of capitalism works just fine. The problem is when you have moral and ethical failings while legislating off the guardrails that keep things fair and people honest.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism. It’s us.

We’re the problem.
