I finally switched when I moved from Arch to Fedora and it’s worked fantastically for me. This is where the Linux desktop is heading now for sure.

I think they’re okay. I like their video content.

Gallifrey Base, sometimes 😌🤓

Just become a gaming hermit that only emulates PS3 games and you’ll be fine.

Language learning: I tricked myself into building a daily flashcard study habit by using gambling as an incentive. I bought a box of Magic the Gathering packs and allowed myself to open one a day only after I had finished my daily flashcard study. According to Atomic Habits it takes roughly 50 days for a habit to be set in stone as part of your daily routine. A full box of Magic packs took me to day 36. Feels like a bit of an unethical life pro-tip, but once you’re over that hump of forming the daily habit it becomes a lot easier, so find a way to hack your brain and make it feel rewarding until it becomes automatic.

It’s just wild to watch Bluesky fans stumble over themselves to say it’s part of a federated future and that it’s decentralized yada yada, when it takes millions of dollars to do with it what takes me $80 for a Raspberry Pi and $15 for a domain name to do with ActivityPub.

This is very recent news but there is a group of people on Bluesky that are looking at setting up their own PDS, but it feels clear to me that the system as designed is so heavily biased against third parties doing this. It’s just such a completely different vibe compared to ActivityPub platforms that are built so strongly around the goal of making it easy to do in order to make it more widely distributed.

I think Memento is open source. It’s good for subtitles->Anki cards.

My devices are named after planets from Doctor Who: mondas, telos, skaro, villengard.

What a coincidence, I was just at a Megalopolis watch party last night haha. There were like two dozen of us hatewatching it. True kino.

God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won’t give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. “This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad” instead of understanding that maybe there’s a reason it’s built that way.

I always like to say the fruits of FOSS labour are the common heritage of mankind. It belongs to all of us as a public good, created and maintained by selfless workers. (Nevermind the fact that most FOSS projects are based out of Europe anyways).

I think they’re fantastic. Ghosts is probably my favourite song from them.

You don’t need a study to tell you that, GothamChess makes tons of content off of ChatGPT playing chess and outright spawning rooks over and over

Yes. Ban it. No more traffic to big social media. If something is newsworthy there will be a blog post about it.
