Billionaires being scared is a good thing. The rich should be scared of the people they are trying to exploit. If they dont care about the people (or humanity), why should we care about them? Remember, you cannot be a billionaire without being evil and having a negative impact.

Started reading The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher and I wasn't sure about it at first, but Rowl the cat and Bridgett (who speaks cat) won me over immediately. :)

New music from @meganeko.com is hitting perfectly right now. Not sure how, but manages to fit my general mood incredibly well. <3

I usually didn't have the money for technical books in the past, only ever had a few. I prefer having good documentation or source code to read + programming convention talks. AI hasn't really changed that.

Doing this for 9 games was surprisingly hard, so I did 9 animes instead.

A 3x3 grid of 9 Anime series and movie covers titled "My 9 Animes: The 9 Anime that shaped Who I Am"
Listed are: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost In The Shell, Pokemon, FLCL, The Cat Returns, Whisper of the Heart, Trigun, Sailor Moon Sailor Stars and Cowboy Bebop.

Its really telling when they can't even figure out how to run a local model effectively. We used to call them script kiddies, but I think calling them that would be an insult to script kiddies ;)

I use snapshots for that, even if I mess something up, I can go back to a good state. And I have an automatic backup to a local and a server in Germany. Also I'd rather be the one messing up my PC, than Microslop doing it through Windows Update lol

I don't like crunch BECAUSE I care about the quality of my work, crunch means lower quality work. Also please note I'm decrying crunch, please don't hire me. :P

crunch isn't something that happens from the passion of the worker. it happens from the failure of leadership. this is an admission that they don't know what they're doing over there.

Good luck! It's a ride, and some things will probably feel weird at first. But there'll be a point were you might forget all the little annoyances windows has. But the best thing about it is truly owning your own system imo.

Not being able to use your Computer because it's updating is just as stupid as not being able to use your mouse because it's charging. I wish I didn't have to use #Microslop at work...

I do think AI makes programmers more efficient..... at creating gigantic amounts of tech debt.

any system is malleable if you try hard enough, lol. (when I was still using windows, I'd replace explorer.exe with a hacked version so I could make my desktop prettier)

I've tried omarchy some time ago and it was absolutely terrible for usability. (recommending a distro with a tiling manager is kinda crazy as a new distro) It's made for a very specific user and I wouldn't even call it a full distro, it's more like someone added a setup script to their dotfiles

depends on the kind of programming you do. Overall any distro can do almost anything, some just have 'better' defaults. I'd try out a few in dual boot until you find one you like. Debian, Fedora, *buntu, Mint, Universal Blue variants. My favorite is Garuda, but you gotta be ready to tinker.

As a gamedev who works at a company who I don't always agree with, I am conflicted. Usually leadership makes the decisions, not the game. For every bad CEO there are a ton of amazing game devs, who make it what it is. I think we should appreciate their work. (Can still be mad at leadership)

I wonder if trans spider would have different powers or their powers would change. some spider-men age slower, maybe transitioning with estrogen would super-charge their healing and slow aging? #spider-man #trans

Arch Linux wiki has great resources to check hardware support for laptops. My touchscreen on my old Lenovo yoga worked out of the box. :)

For win apps I've had better success with bottles, it's on flathub and the ui is more convenient. Has some good presets as well. (still will use wine or proton under the hood)

If you too would like to stop using increasingly shitty software made by bad people who make the world worse, I wrote a guide for how to lessen/end your small team's dependence on US-based tech services: nelsanderson.zone/a-guide-to-d...

Yup, it was made with Linux in mind (started as part of KDE) and works perfectly on any platform I've tried it on. :)

In light of recent Google things, just wanna mention that I've been paying for and using Kagi for a couple months now and it works well. It's not just a proxy, they have their own search index. I also feel better paying for the services I use. Always be wary of free stuff, esp. on the internet.

Quick PSA. Looking at you, local orgs and small businesses.

Crudely drawn bunny character holding a pencil, messy hand lettering surrounds them in orange to green gradient color. It says in all caps:

Stop using AI for your flyers & logos! They look like shit, everybody thinks so! Seriously, you’re losing business. Just make it yourself or hire a real artist.

If you want arch for gaming, I'd look at cachyos or my favorite Garuda Linux. Omarchy is terrible at gaming support (mostly because of the window manager) Garuda has a lot of great out of the box tools and setup.

Sure, maybe I like talking about my hyper fixations, but maybe I'm also trying to avoid the "normal conversations". My prepared masking scripts are not very long and make me incredibly nervous. Make the neurodivergent person in your life happy: Mention something about their favorite topics instead.

Good friend @rebusmind.bsky.social makes awesome gameboy color games. His newest one is pretty awesome, go check out the demo. :)

I love Big Walk, it's exactly the kind of game I've been wanting to make for a long time. And instead of filling me with dread, that it's been made before I could, it fills me with joy that it's possible to make a 'third space' game like this. It fills me with hope that we can have more like this <3

Over 3 years ago, I was trying out linux distros again (as you do), intending to dual boot parallel to windows (as you do). I accidentally deleted my windows partition (as you do), but no worries, I had a backup (as you hopefully do). I decided I'd recover windows when I need it. Never did.
