@necrophcodr It's been great as far as Linux goes. After I set up my custom key bindings for the controller it's been even better. I still haven't put the gyroscope or fingerprint reader to work, but I really just missed the key binds from when I daily drove a steam deck.

My setup is quite unorthodox though 😅
@necrophcodr I generally use my computer for work (programming) so I run a bare bones arch distro called EndevourOS with a minimal wayland desktop based on Niri
@necrophcodr Just the Dolphin emulator :)
Finally set up my GPD for actually playing games. Been in a Sonic the Hedgehog mood lately
If anyone wants to donate etherium to me, I finally set up a wallet here: 0xC29a6b70A7B64D539375FF8608E19c64dc5B457A
@skryking Not yet, the diopters on the rokid max have been enough to adjust for my myopia but my astigmatism leaves one of the eyes just a bit blurry. Might get some after I adjust my perscription.
At least I had my computer attached to my belt like usual so I did most of the motions of getting it set up.
low key thinking of buying one of those compute pucks that Rokid and XREAL sell just to have something more slim to carry around.
@skryking Yeahh that makes sense. I've been wanting to upgrade my deck but I gotta save for vet bills.
Iirc the Rokid Max is a bit cheaper than the XREAL stuff out there. Less handy if you want existing apps for it. 😅
@ryanramage god if only 😭💜
Had a dream I was at a small scale tech trade show and there was a booth with some AR googles I hadn't seen before that looked cool. Sadly I woke up before I could try them on 😭

you don’t version it, it is disrespectful to the users who spent time learning that UI. time from their only life on earth, to learn your software.
And you’ve just told them, fuck you, we demand more of your time, every /2-3 years, forever. Any time spent learning computers is futile and all gains are temporary

this is why constant UI churn is bad.
The whole advantage of using computers was supposed to be their ability to automate and speed up our work.
By attrition, most of the ways of doing this have been systematically removed from average users and are the exclusive domain of expert developers braving the hazards of alternative operating systems
@gsuberland I've been giving graphical tools a shot more lately and the massive waste of ram and CPU for something that'd take a dozen MBs on the cli makes me cry.

aside from pure CLI stuff, I can't remember the last time I used a computing device where things felt instant, or even just faster than my rate of interaction.

This might just shake things up
"Switzerland Now Requires All Government Software To Be Open Source"
Not trusting or relying on the Microsofts of the world anymore.
Sturmer believes everyone will benefit from this regulation, as it reduces vendor lock-in for the public sector, allows companies to expand their digital business solutions, and potentially leads to reduced IT costs and improved services for taxpayers.
My cats sound so funny. They're like the pokemon noises in the gameboy games.

Crowdstrike situation is putting a very firm pressure on another round of removing software agents without mandatory need, especially kernel-mode or that inject DLLs. This is real, I'm in the middle of it. It's a good argument to slim things down where there is overlap.
Hey folks into #ActivityPub and #p2p / #dweb tech. We've got a new #FEP in the works to bridge between the two worlds based on the work we've been doing at @distributed
Come check it out and let us know what you think and if you'd like to implement it yourselves!

There are 20,000+ Mastodon servers alone. Thousands of WordPress and Pixelfed servers.
The idea that the Fediverse is about connecting 5-6 servers, one for each kind of data posted, is really misleading.

Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is.
https://www.eff.org/cases/hemisphere
In short, the US government got access to number from, number to, datetime, length and sometimes location information for every call passing through AT&T's network from 1987 to today.
Then they ran an algorithm to de-anonymize every burner phone based on behavior. They did this because maybe some of those burners were used by drug dealers.
