rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 10/08/2026Currently reading “Careless People” and seeing a deluge of people talking about Zuck’s AI for Everyone manifesto feels very ya know… the same exact playbook of social media being for everyone In case the whole hallucinations, data centers, cognitive case studies, etc didn’t already turn you off 🤷 000
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 23/07/2026Super jazzed to have a co-op pve focused mainline game 1 through 3 were great but after the initial player wave died off, I never much enjoyed playing with the dedicated player base cause I really do just want to pick up, play a bit for fun, and put it down 000
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 09/07/2026Following up a year later, you (I) probably don’t need a smart watch They’re neat and I like getting some notifs on my wrist and enjoy health data, but as someone who liked normal watches I’d rather spend future money on a nice normal watch that won’t be junk after a few years 000

rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 12/09/2025I think the most interesting thing was actually the fact Pokémon is making an animal crossing/farm sim game? Everything else felt pretty “yeah, that’s fair for an anniversary” but not groundbreaking 000

rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 10/09/2025Anecdotally I’ve been veering away from most video platforms due to “vibes” Bluesky doesn’t seem to have the same discoverability as Twitter but Twitter doesn’t feel worth the time now Twitch to me feels less community focused last I used it too?? Like smaller channels aren’t a priority anymore? 000
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 22/08/2025It’s sooooooo fucked. Partner had a similar situation with another med and it was over $2k a month.

rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 18/08/2025Personal peeve is that "not a desktop" should have solid battery (8hr+ of light use) My only rec is to make sure that the cpu/soc is ARM based if windows and probably only bother with tablets $600+ Samsung S9 FE+ looks like a solid entry point, windows options are lot more expensive... 120

People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:thewhitepages.netThirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly importantWhy?

rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 17/02/2025Adding that for logseq it's the same as obsidian as far as I know- you can't lock anything with a password of some variety 010
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 17/02/2025It may come down to the fact that I don't currently pay; so although SN looks like a nice app and is open source, it might not be a fit for me I do believe that if you're willing to pay, it's super solid knowing everything is encrypted when being sync'd around 👏 110
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 17/02/2025Haha, totally understand. Sometimes you have to dive right in Primary motivation for logseq is the same it would be for SN: using OSS where generally possible. Obsidian/logseq sync is solvable for me so I don't pay but it looks like SN is self-hostable. Not sure if that enables all features 🤔 110
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 17/02/2025Looking at pricing, it seems like SN only allows editing markdown if you’re paying? Is that right? As an obsidian user considering moving to logseq, I’d be interested to hear if the free tier met your needs or if having relative parity with base level obsidian features requires paying 110
rythnyx @rythnyx.com · 12/02/2025This is what got me the most about the direction The biggest notes for me were (paraphrasing) “we’re focusing on making sure unity runs on everything” and “it’s paramount that ads are baked directly into the runtime” ☹️ 020
