How do you screw up *scrolling*?? Bsky devs: Hold my beer.

One should never give me too much power. #blutoid (Dressmaker is a lot of fun :3 )

It was weird talking to people twice my age not understanding technology can be designed to work without an internet connection. A car, TV, fridge, doesn't *need* to connect to the internet. I expect that from someone half my age, not from someone who still uses an AOL email.

Oh wait. Its August that means Ive been on Linux for a whole year now! ... Honestly I still feel a bit nubish with it, but hey. Its been working :D

Hey @carrot-ebooks.bsky.social and @imcryingpotatoes.bsky.social, I ran into Charles today! Hes a very sleepy Slowpoke these days, but hes made new friends.

As much as I like the Steam Controller's hardware. I can't stand it's software. God damn it Valve why the hell do I have to go into Big Picture Mode to adjust *anything*. I love using a UI made for controllers, to adjust how the controller work - Live! Like performing brain surgery on one own self.

What country is this? And why are all the women from it so pretty?? 🤔

Saw an old friend today, filled me with smiles seeing her after so many years. Also got to touch Quark's abs without having to pay a few bars of Gold-Pressed Latinum.

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

yeah its u punishing me for using an adblocker. eat shit.

Just learned from a reddit post a friend sent that Alex Cimo passed away. Absolutely fucking gutted man. Progression series and History of YuGiOh got me through so much of covid when I was most isolated and just jamming edopro lobbies constantly if not working or drunk.

Things the Tech industry thinks will excite me: "AI Agents that will do all the things you like to do, for you! And do it badly!" Things that actually excite me: "KDE Connect lets you use your phone as a keyboard & trackpad when you are playing on your TV."

If I had a nickle for every Canadian Youtuber who became convinced that a certain piece of software was going to become revolutionary, changing their respective industries, despite the rather small scope the companies behind them seem to actually have. I'd have two nickles.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Riding my bike around the neighborhood I learned one of my neighbors now owns a Cybertruck. The house is grayer then a McDonalds, but their Cybertruck is baby blue. 😐

Wow even I'm blocked!

Bsky Trending is drunk

NYTimes: "I reject reality and subsitute my own."

I love when two unrelated posts come together perfectly. #Blutoid

Wont let me share? Anyways What's My JND? 0.0021 At that point it really is a test of your monitor's abilities, it's calibration, and it's physical condition. Some screens were easy on one monitor but impossible on another.

We are trading someone who shot a dog, for someone who tried to start a fistfight during a hearing, over being called short on Twitter.

Genuinely 🤮 I am glad Ive moved away from Windows...

Trying something new. This is gonna be weird.

Slightly diminish a game Dated Story

Month later, problem came back up. Always happened when loading into a game like FFXIV or Vintage Story... Oh a whim I swapped to a backup PSU that doesn't fit into my case, and is a lower Wattage. ... Problem goes away. Well then. (wonder if warranty will apply >_> )

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay, worked as a programmer on companies like EA, Microsoft and Ubisoft, helped building the PSP and PS4 operating systems and won the 1980 National Space Invaders Championship! RIP to one of the greatest :(

Saw the Running Man. Okayish popcorn movie, but just felt... Anachronistic? Like the story and theming is straight out of the 80s, but the setting is a 2020s Scifi with little to no concessions to account for this which just kinda clashes in a lot of weird ways.

I *did* wanna give another go to Palace of the Dead today... But since disconnecting even by DDOS counts as a Death, guess I wont.

NYC decided to give me a birthday present a few hours early. 🥳

Last I checked my old VHS tapes don't work on BluRay players. Out of the box DVDs or BluRays don't work with modern PCs. You always have to work to keep older media compatible on newer hardware. Some will be more difficult then others. ... Specially when you are the one making it more difficult.

War... War never changes.

I'm a sucker for Gameboy stuff, and when I saw this Lego Gameboy at Costco, I had to grab it... Fun build. I love the little details like how the inside of the carts mimics the board ROM chips, and how Zelda has a battery, the 'Silicone' under the buttons is the correct color. exc exc. #blutoid

You know what? I'm kinda sad that Konami never continued the "Duel Monsters" format some of the early YuGiOh! games had (Dark Duel Stories, Sacred Cards, Reshef of Destruction). It is weird, and a bit unbalanced, but its just kinda fun? Much better suited for a RPG vs the actual card game.

I was trying to figure out where that "LG discontinued disc drives" story came from, and it was a youtube video where the evidence was that he spoke to LG's *LLM support bot* and treated its response as an official company statement?????

If there is one thing I do miss from Windows... Its Paint(dot)Net. Linux just... doesn't have a good middle tier image editor. Like Gimp and Kitra are your Photoshop, Clip Studio alts. if you want something simpler Koulour Paint! - Its WinXP MS Paint! Including the lack of Layers or transparencies!

Current Status:

I can't help but feel a lot of the aversion to "Light Mode" is that light mode tends to have way more 'Pure white' then UI designs in the past. But also, modern "Dark Modes" tend to be much darker. Both of which isn't helped by modern displays being both brighter, and having better contrast.
