  • Thanks for reminding me about why I have been exclusively playing older games or games from my backlog. Seriously with the prices of video games it’s not worth it to buy them anymore let alone have the hardware to even play them. PC gaming sounds like a nightmare where you have to do all this crazy nonsense just to play some games at slightly better performance or if you are poor like me. I have long since stopped at pirating normal PC games though personally and have been pirating ROMs instead for emulators or buying from GOG. Much easier and you have like 4 decades worth of content just to play through. I say just let the modern gaming industry rot and toil. Play some Indie games instead like Deltarune or Silksong or I am your beast. Do anything but not support this dumb market of triple A games where they cost almost a hundred dollars now and require super computers hooked up to your actual computer to run.




  • Oh noes not again! Guess I’ll still not use these web services lol. Anyway has anyone seen the Pinely video?Wwhere he got banned off of Facebook for not interacting with the AI generated slop and trying to talk to his friends and family members. I feel like Meta even after he doxxed himself and scanned his face to verify he is a real human doesn’t seem that invested into you not constantly looking at the non humanity and advertising potential of its platforms that it owns and giving them money indirectly. I feel like there should be government regulation around this but it’s never going to happen.





  • So I feel violated and gross and I never wanna use Firefox again. I don’t care if you can self host it. I don’t care if it’s private. Mozilla propagandists need to fucking understand that their privacy policy does not reassure me. Nor does the fact that they went back on the AI kill switch and sent my information that should’ve been private to someone else’s computer a good thing. It is fucking bad and I hope Mozilla fucking implodes. In the rise of fascist governments and the need for privacy. This is unacceptable and I refuse to even use a third party fork of Firefox. The best feature arguably that made Firefox worth while that being syncing has been basically weaponized potentially into something evil that will be used against people. Especially as they have long since updated their policies to make sure law enforcement can gain access to your personal information anyway. I will switch to Vivaldi. Something that doesn’t have money issues and makes ad revenue through search engine deals that aren’t Google and Bing. Something that will sync my browser data end to end encrypted where they cannot fucking see it. Truly go fuck Mozilla.









  • As someone who used to have a Windows on Arm device. It was Hell. Basically anything that isn’t Lenovo or from Microsoft will mean it’ll eventually brick itself unless you steal drivers from other laptops. You also cannot reinstall the operating system because most of these nuggets have no device tree files in the firmware of the machine minus a few lenovo thinkpads. So that means when you try to reinstall windows there is a high likelihood your touchpad and keyboard and USB ports don’t work. I literally snapped the motherboard on my poor Samsung Galaxy Book Go in half over it suddenly bricking itself. After a Windows update that I could not recover from.

    Anyway if you want a decent windows on arm laptop buy lenovo and replace the storage. They have replacable nvmes usually. Also don’t get the 8 gigabytes of ram versions you literally will have programs just refuse or just force close themselves out of existence. You will literally have to debloat windows upto even removing Windows Defender and stopping most background services and disabling sysmain because it’s broken. You’d also have to disable certain things in Windows defender like memory protection if you want things to work right.

    Also https://armrepo.ver.lt/ Is a god send for finding arm windows software.

    Keep in mind though most web browsers as well that aren’t Microsoft Edge will have rendering issues on older snapdragon socs.

    You know if you really wanna rock the most powerful CPUs out thereonly to end up breaking it and using your 2017 spectre. Even if its like literally 10 times slower because atleast it just works.

    I legit have trauma over this.


  • I have a very smart cat but he uses that intelligence to uh get my attention.

    He’ll groom himself in a mirror only to look at me in the mirror and be excited when he sees me when he turns around to come at me.

    He also likes to find ways to get my attention like getting in things or knocking stuff over or scratching things or sitting on papers or my laptop or things. If I have a pillow in my lap or my laptop he will also find every possible solution to get as close to me as humanly possible. He is also very careful about not scratching me when he is on me or I pick him up.

    He gets so annoyed and angry when I have a laptop or like block his approach in some way like just walking around or standing. Wherein he starts to run around and meow softly at me. Having zoomies and hiding in drawers or around corners when I’m walking around to just attack me with his softpaws to get my attention.

    I love him a lot.
