Wait, people hide NSFW content? I don’t care if people see it since I have posts set to have thumbnails, so nobody should reasonably be able to make it out anyway.

I don’t know how must have it is, but I’ve been enjoying Isles of Sea and Sky, a sokoban type puzzle game currently 10% off until July 11th (currently $17.99). I’m pretty sure it’s maybe a month or two old at least.

That, or depending on how mistreated they were in North Korea, the soldiers surrender immediately because I’d have to assume Ukrainian prisons/jails/whatever are nowhere near as bad as just living in North Korea.

The way I see AI being implemented into Firefox, regardless of whether it’s gonna be opt-in or out in the future is that they need to keep up with the latest browser trends in the future. If they don’t, they will definitely lose more of whatever probably small amount of remaining normies who don’t use edge or chrome but instead opt for Firefox. They’re not tech literate enough to see a conveniently placed ad telling them that xyz browser now uses AI security features and Firefox doesn’t and discern the fact that it’s a ploy to get them to switch. We need more normies if we really want a chance to keep Firefox more than just treadingn water, and the best way is to offer more random bullshit of the week to keep them from switching to a competitor.

I personally like to reserve “parasite” for the investors, the ones who will literally send you to court if you try to be human to your employees.

They never did.

I’d like to think Lemmy is still small enough that talking about piracy of their games and stuff is flying under their radar for now, which is why I don’t care. Also, fuck Sintendo. I ain’t afraid of their corporate stasi.

Also, on Steam Deck, Emudeck takes away the vast majority of complications regarding getting multiple emulators set up by having pre-configured configurations for each emulator you install to try and make sure game compatibility and running them is as smooth as can be for most games.

Both of them offering online features is true, but as far as I’m aware, you ain’t connecting to any official servers.

If you’re playing offline with friends, Emudeck has Ryujinx available. All you’d need is to either dump your cartridge if you can (which I don’t know how to do) or get a copy and make sure you got a dock to hook up your deck to the TV. I don’t know what kind of port the GameCube controllers use or if they’ll work, though. I don’t have one, so I couldn’t tell you. I know the 3rd party wired pro controller I have works fantastically, though. Only other thing you gotta worry about it having enough ports to plug in to depending on the number of players and dock you got.

As for whether the game will be as smooth on Ryujinx as it is on switch, that’s something I don’t know considering I’ve never tried it on my deck.

This is why if you ever go to a protest, always make sure you bring a burner phone, preferably without SIM if it doesn’t have an eSIM. If you have an old phone and can do it yourself or afford to have someone else do it, but replace the SSD on your burner with something fresh to ensure even if you wipe the phone they can’t get the old data off your old SSD. This is the feds we’re talking about, of course they’re gonna have access to software that’ll allow them to reconstruct the data on a wiped drive as an option. Then all you have to do is to just not store any information you don’t want getting out onto your burner, anything that the feds can easily use against you.

Unless you’re a major target, I doubt they’re gonna search your home for your actual phone or go through your contacts as well.

The best thing about a Steam Deck is the fact that with Emudeck, you can make your deck a much better Switch. The only thing you’ll be missing is lack of Internet features and the GUI.

I’m also always happy to try and convince anyone and everyone not to buy from Sintendo and buy hardware that isn’t inferior because I swear Sintendo hardware has absolutely been inferior compared to the competition since at at least n64.

I don’t care what quality the things I’m downloading are so long as the file size is small enough. There are very few acceptions to that rule. Biggest one is if someone tried to edit shows using AI to enhance them by upping the resolution. Had one series I was so looking forward to watching after a long time torrenting that I had to delete because you could easily tell an AI (or someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing) tried enhancing the resolution and made it unwatchable for me.

Edit: Damn, reread and I wish I could get 5mbps in the apartment complex I’m in! I’d be lucky if my download speeds spiked to 1mbps. All this with what is supposed to be the best ISP in the area, which is also an absolutely shitty company (xfinity).

That’s a theory I can actually agree with. Sounds plausible enough to be true, given what we know about large corpos.

Well, here’s the part where I hope people are able to make a Wikipedia alternative so we can turn Wikipedia into a cesspool to ensure the enshitification of gøøg|e. That, and if I ever get a Wikipedia article made about me (which will probably never happen), I’m signing up with an account and absolutely trashing it to say things that will cause whatever any AI looking at it to spout the most absurd shit.

I know I’ve seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don’t remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.

I’m a firm believer that regardless of operating system that a warning message saying that installing something could cause harm to your device definitely makes people think twice about installation if they’re not tech savvy (AKA know more than the bare minimum anymore). It’s definitely intentional that the large companies responsible scare you away from doing the things you want because they want you locked into doing things the way they want.

Out of all the games that I know for sure that have a native Linux port, I’m either going with Minetest, which I have been playing for Voxel Libre (once Mineclone2), or the Sonic Robo Blast 2 with the Reveries mod, despite not knowing what exactly it changes. They’re the 2 games I know have a native port that I’ve been playing the most recently.

Don’t know whether pizza from a place you can sit down in and eat counts, but there used to be a place called Rocky Rococo’s. Best pizza in the whole city, until they disappeared off the map. Now I’d have to go to the other side of the country just for their pizza. For a place I wouldn’t consider a restaurant, they had some of the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had.

But these people can’t be good Christians if they don’t force their religion onto the impressionable kids! How else do they get new kids to help please the local church overlords with their sexual desires?

It’s absolutely amazing how we went from the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer in the beginning of computers to everyone knowing how to do at least the bare minimum on a computer in the 2000s to now circling back to the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer because pretty much everything they do can and probably is done on a phone. It’s also real scary to think since I’d assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren’t properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we’re too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.
