Took me way longer than it should to get it to work but it works now. Oasis Driver has a Linux version now and, at least for this guy doing the basics of controller tracking and display, it works

I pulled out my old Pinephone Community Edition, and the battery is flat. OK, that's fine, installed JumpDrive to an SD card and left it plugged in overnight. That changed nothing. Battery is still flat and the device shuts off if mains power is removed... so I've got it hooked up to the

higher-output charger from my Steam Deck rather than the 5V 2A charger it was on... although I don't have much hope for that because trying to measure the pos / neg leads with a multimeter got dead 0. Guess that's what happens when you leave a doohickey in a drawer for half a decade.

Gonna need some deliverables at this point… I’d like to see Destiny finally unkneecap itself but I don’t believe it will lol

• Bungie gets sued last year by author claiming his story was nicked • Bungie says it can't present the content being challenged because it's 'vaulted' • Bungie ends Destiny 2 and lets hundreds of staff go • Players lose faith • Bungie says "okay, we'll unvault stuff"

Valve isn’t a perfect company but it’s wild to see, in real time, Valve essentially having taken actions to run in the opposite direction of larger market trends. They haven’t escaped cost as a barrier but they are doing everything they can to create their own corner that isn’t this bad lol

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

Thinking about this and… well… Tetris Worlds : Super Smash Brawl :: Tetr.io : Rivals of Aether One of ‘em’s a party game with accidental competition and the other’s a competitive game that forgot about the party game aspects of its genre largely.

what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

I bought these wireless Logitech gamepads for the original Xbox on eBay (because a wireless pad would work better for where it’s set up and the original Xbox predates first party wireless)… and the dongle doesn’t seem to work. Guess I need to crack it open and look if I can figure out why

Shoved ‘em in datacenters and rented ‘em back at exorbitant prices while calling it “AI”?

What will we do with AIs that are 1000x more powerful? Ask the people who are still here from 20 years ago (2006) what we’ve done with computers that are 1000x more powerful

My house got broken into last night and we are missing around 5k of cards. If you can repost / share / ask around if you're in the MA or NH area I would really appreciate it

This is not to name and shame. This is for awareness. These are the accounts I know in the MTG space that are compromised. Kick them from servers, unfriend, do not respond to DMs, do not click links they send. Yes my MS Paint image sucks. Deal with it. Copy-pasteable in reply

Logan // Seraph Six@seraphsix.com

PSA: Don't click links you cannot vet. Be smart. Phishing is the most common form of compromise.

Yeah, basically the only “preview” content I watch is @loadingreadyrun.com’s North 100 because it turns out “only talking about the Eternal relevant things” filters the monthly 600 cards to like 40 and from there I might see 5. And if there’s a diamond in the rough, Scryfall finds it from there.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social this could not possibly go wrong, right?

i don't think you should be able to edit your bluesky posts. i do think that you should be able to edit the posts of anyone else who has at least 100,000 followers. the rest of you have put up with our crap for long enough and honestly it's about time we were taken down a peg

Walk into Office Depot. It’s 11:30am on a Tuesday and somehow, inexplicably, I am the only one there. There’s four bored looking 60 year olds manning the shop - one at the register, two on the floor, one behind the print counter. One of the floor men help me pick out a printer.

SteveHeist
@steveheist2.bsky.social

I bought an ET-2800 because it’s cheap and does everything I need. The floor man informs me that they have a special on copy paper because I spent $100+ in the store. I now have a printer and copy paper. It’s 11:00am on a Tuesday. The Office Depot is empty. And that feels weird somehow.

Am I the odd one for going to an office store instead of a Walmart, or, as seems to be more the case, buying it online through Amazon? Or is Office Depot just not doing well? Will I ever know?

the cheapest 4TB SSD I saw (because the server box is a bit cramped and there's not room to put a fifth 3.5" drive anyway), and now I'm staring at the resilvering process. Rule of thumb? A) 3TB HDDs are failure prone, but everyone knew that over a decade ago and B) Murphy is an opportunist

Now. I'm already in on these drives and I decided to just send them. I had a couple four terabyte hard drives from a different failed project (turns out a single 5400RPM laptop drive is not fast enough to operate as the main virtual disk pool for ProxMox VMs) and if one failed I would be able to...

cold swap and replace the drives with those. That was until 2 weeks ago when I donated the drives, one to a friend and one to a local recycler / reseller, in preparing to move house. And then last week one of the drives failed. Because timing. Anyway, one day shipping on Amazon Prime for
