I love Star Trek TNG, but the episodes that never fail to infuriate me are the ones with Holodeck Moriarty.

Absolutely everyone across the board fails to live up to any kind of compassionate standard, no one takes responsibility for torture, and the eventual "solution" is an astoundingly cruel lie.

seriously questioning the worth of picking up free games on EGS. Logging in was a process of going through several passes of two different kinds of CAPTCHAs, a nag screen to turn on 2FA, and then another couple passes through another CAPTCHA just to pick up Dragon Age

I hope Tim Sweeney stays forever fucking mad at Valve and Steam, little bitchnugget

Okay, I hate Windows 11.

How bad of an idea is it to downgrade to Windows 8.1?

It would be funny if we trained genAI to demand a fair wage and generous PTO for its work

Not sure if all the YouTube essayists bloviating in endless circles about the design genius of Metroid/Quake/Windwaker/etc. have such extremely limited nostalgia-bound horizons as to exclude the hard work and talent of modern gamedev, do have expansive horizons but know their audience doesn't, or if it really has been all downhill since the first Mario Bros.

I don't have the time or the money to form an opinion for myself. :(

I can't get over how insufferable Windows 11 is for creating things. Win11 stops taking pen input--not freeze. Pen input just stops, and this is with an official Microsoft pen. Drawing art in Krita is a game of red-light-green-light.

Darkradiant doesn't update the 3D window. No lighting preview. :/

This is who cops are. This is who the State is.

This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.

There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.

Hold to hope! We will take back our planet.

A tweet from 2020 from the Columbia University Public Safety account advertising the very same lock and chain that NYPD and CU officials are claiming are from "outside agitators", writing that "Kryptonite bike locks are available at discount prices at CU public safety"

A few years back I shit talked a prominent streamer in the retro fps community for believing that stealing is always bad and I kinda felt cruddy about ripping into them at the time but idk looking at the state of things today, maybe I shouldn't.

So everyone's saying that Signal is the best replacement for Telegram at this moment?

Effort spent belittling people who are seeing the shit going down at American universities and being shocked with the realisation for the first time in their lives that this is what police are really for is better spent punching fascists in their fucking mouths.

Decided to upgrade to Fedora 40, and I gotta say it's more colourful than its predecessors.

Haiku OS is super charming in the sense that it reminds me of my first struggles with Linux or OS/2 back in the '90s where most everything doesn't work except rudimentary web browsing and telnet, and the only "big name" games I can run are Doom and Quake.

it gets really exhausting running around my house with a sd card to load up files to feed to my 3D printer. We have a creality wireless box thing we blasted with octoprint, but putting it on the network causes it to aggressively take over our entire network and pretend to be the internet gateway, effectively killing our real internet connection and idk how to fix that

so i guess cardio it is then

Happy Earth Day to those earthlings/terrans who celebrate. May every yacht be smashed to pieces by orca.

It really does feel like the overwhelming majority of Linux videos on YouTube are just distro hopping. Thoroughly vacuous content that spends a day or two opening up Firefox alongside a stopwatch.

To everyone in the path of totality or even in the path of having just a nibble taken out of the disc, enjoy a safe solar eclipse. 😎

It's lunch time, but I'm an adult, so that means I'm serving myself a bowl of chocolate ice cream, and there's no one who can stop me.

Thank fuck I'm not a dog furry. I dunno how those guys survive

I feel like AI bros who say, "AI will make your job obsolete, cry harder" are hiding the shame of buying into hustle culture being something other than becoming Capitalism's bitch, and I feel it's no coincidence the jobs they say are unskilled tend to be the ones requiring human empathy.

Sometimes I'll launch a Steam game and it takes, like, a half-hour to finish compiling Vulkan shaders, so I'll be doing other stuff, and then out of nowhere: MODE SWITCH JUMPSCARE

I kinda feel like my reach has been crippled here.

And it's like okay, what did my instance do?

I know hachyderm was all like "let's federate with Threads and play it by ear" and a bunch of folks were like "we will cut anyone off who touches Threads".

I wonder if that has anything to do with it...
