One feature I'd love of @bsky.brid.gy is if we could have it so that a bluesky account would automatically boost a mastodon account on the bridged network. I have a wafrn account that I want to use for large-form blog posts only and would love to automatically boost posts from this mastodon […]

I think GITS 2026 is a pretty awesome rendition so far that is pretty faithful to the manga. At least that's my first impressions. It's pretty radically different from Oshii's take; I was prepared for it but I guess I can see someone not vibing with Shirow Masamune's cartoony style […]

I wonder what the state of Bluray production will be like be like in 2027? Recent news makes me think it can't be in a good state. A huge production facility just closed last year so how much longer will bluray movies be a thing I wonder? 🤔 Everything just keeps getting worse...

I'm not sure gaming as we know it can survive if the hardware isn't available at an entry level price (ideally sub 500 dollars.) I think the console market doom is just the canary in the coal mine. #gaming #inflation

I feel exhausted this week, but I'm definitely down to do more steam controller messing. Now if only there were some kind of device I could strap to my face. 🤔 At least a price would be good enough.

Steam input is still one of the best ways to play a game with a novel input scheme. It's wild how long it's been this way, at least since the Wii U era Consoles manufacturers have forgotten how important it is to push for new ways of interacting with computer software. #consoles #gaming

Finished Gundam The Origin 👍 Honestly, the last 10 years or so of Gundam have been pretty great in terms of return to form. The Origin really does capture that feeling that the original show had and the direction was phenomenal. #anime #gundam

Gundam The Origin is pretty cool. But when you get to that scene where there's suddenly some other dude whose name is Char Aznable... 🤨 I thought it was a metaphor at first.

I had heard how much better the search results were from Kagi. And yet, I'm still surprised. Trying to Google useful comic development articles was a pain with the amount of AI slop articles, but found some really good resources almost immediately with Kagi that reminded me of the early days.

Went to see Lupin the IIIrd: The Immortal Bloodline in theaters today. If you're a Lupin fan already, and you've seen Koike's previous films, I think it's worth seeing in theaters as it's the conclusion to the series. So go in support if you fit in that camp. Having said that, there are things […]

There's been some talk about IPC standards and whatnot lately. One of the things I don't get, as a person who doesn't deal with Linux IPC directly as much, is why the focus isn't on improving the d-bus documentation? Would any new standard be an improvement if it was equally undocumented? This […]

*Ahem* Steam year review shows I'm all in on linux now. Nice to have a statistic on this, and also interesting to see how desktop vs deck balances out. (My steam deck is running bazzite, so also interesting it detects that so must look at the hardware itself.) #steam #gaming #linux

Steam vs Linux vs Windows graph for platforms played, but there's no windows on the board at all. :)

Deeply disappointed by Fedora's new AI policies that allows AI contributions. It is impossible to argue *who* owns any snippet of AI generated code. Is code that is generated by OpenAI is owned by OpenAI? The person who sniped it from their chatlog? This is ignoring that the AI industry itself […]
