No it isnt

Thankfully the maintainers finally locked it down, but reading through this thread is pretty wild. So many people with just so much impatience entitlement for an open source project that they don't pay a cent for. https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/2746

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/116290921980047975 The government surveiling it's citizens? No, no, no, that would illegal. What they're doing is allowing the data broker industry to surveil the citizens with no legal guardrails and then buying that data from them using taxpayer money. It's […]

RE: https://wetdry.world/@gunther/115923174285724444 For now, I'm standing by this call. While the frontier genAI models will continue costing more money and will likely soon be practically available only to businesses, the open source models are pretty decent and should be much more accessible.

Fun fact: peanuts are neither peas nor nuts. Ya, that's right, look it up.

Just beat Whitney in Polished Crystal. Hey Miltank is just as grueling as I remember, but it didn't really pose a problem, just took forever to beat between the healing moves and the hyper potion. Bugsy was actually much harder. Probably because I chose Chikorita as my starter. #pokemon […]

Since I finished with Pokemon Yellow Legacy, I'm now starting Pokemon Polished Crystal. Really appreciating the attention to detail so far, there are so many customization options. I don't agree with all the design decisions, but overall it seems amazing!

Absolutely wild that this character design was used in a game marketed to kids released in the 90s.

I beat the Elite Four and caught Mewtwo in Pokemon Yellow Legacy. There's some post-game content to explore too, but not sure how much of it I'll actually do. Completing the Pokedex is unlikely.

I've even playing a Pokemon Yellow ROM hack recently called Pokemon Yellow Legacy. It's a pretty basic enhancement hack, but it's fun! Plays like the idealized version of the Gen 1 games I have in my head. https://github.com/cRz-Shadows/Pokemon_Yellow_Legacy #pokemon #romhack

Honestly, Pokemon Pokopia looks pretty dope. I'll probably play it in a few years when I finally break down and buy a Switch 2.

RE: https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/116177606495989457 Interesting read. This seems like a problem for lawyers that programmers are trying to resolve, but interesting regardless. In general, genAI has big legal implications for open source projects.

GenAI, as a technology, is really impressive. That said, the problems it solves aren't the major problems facing humanity so why are we pouring so much of our species' resources into it?

So apparently if you search for "Pikachu" on DuckDuckGo, this is the logo that appears on the top of the page during that search. #DuckDuckGo #pokemon #pikachu

The gap between "AI tools have the potential to increase productivity" and "employees' productivity should be judged based on how heavily they use AI" is vast. Weird that tech executives don't see it that way.

Posts on YouTube are weird in 2 ways. (1) Posts from channels I'm subscribed to don't show up in my Subscriptions feed. (2) There is no way to hide or express disinterest in the posts that show up in my Home feed like I can with videos. Why, YouTube?

There are plenty of creator communities that are hostile to AI, but I don't think any group of consumers is more hostile to it than gamers. You add one AI-generated asset to your game and the Steam reviews will be begging you to swap it out for a pixel art of vomit you made yourself in MS Paint […]

It's frustrating how many UIs misuse the "notification dot". You know if bothers me when it's there, so why do you make me read your self& promotions to get rid of it?

After being intrigued by the backstory cutscene in Shadow Generations, I took a small tumble down the rabbit hole that is the Sonic wiki and... wow. I didn't realize the Sonic franchise is a sci-fi epic, but apparently so? #sonic #sonicthehedgehog

I just finished the Sonic Generations half of Sonic x Shadow Generations. I'm not a huge Sonic fan, but I had a lot of fun with it. It's a real tour de force of Sonic history. And by that I mean it has Green Hill Zone and that level where you run down a hill from a truck.

Getting frustrated with Returnal. It's a good game, but very hard. I've fought the first boss 3 times and lost 3 times. And I've been killed by mini-bosses and plain mobs many, many times in between. I do want to persevere, but it's getting to the point where it's more frustrating than fun […]

This is how I found out the Superbowl is coming up

LibreOffice is perfectly fine, but I honestly have found @ONLYOFFICE to be a far more polished drop-in replacement for Microsoft than Libre is

Don't let the desire for perfection stop you from appreciating imperfect but still good solutions.

Notepad++'s update mechanism was compromised from June to December 2025. They believe it was a state actor practicing selective targeting and not a no-hosts-refused malware gang situation. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

Join the buy games years after they release club. We have: -Huge discounts (except on Nintendo games, because Nintendo) -All the bug fixes and QOL patches -A free pass out of the hype trains -Accidental spoilers (whoops)

Basically all I know about Returnal before I started was: 1) Sci-fi 2) Time loop 3) Roguelike/lite But it turns out it's also pretty scary and psychological. Also, it's a bullet hell? I didn't even know bullet hell games existed outside of 3D, but here it is. #returnal

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #mastodon: Default Server Recommendations. Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this […]

Muting people whose posts annoy you is free. You don't have to justify it to them or to anyone else. Reminder for myself and for anyone else who needs it.

So envs.net is shutting down their Matrix server and I don't think I've used Matrix in over a year anyway. I could migrate back to matrix.org, but I don't think I get enough value out of Matrix to warrant the effort. I can always revive my Matrix.org account in the future if I want to […]

One of the stealth changes I made to my blog was changing the contact email address. I was using a Posteo alias, but it cost €0.10 a month for an address that was basically exclusively being sent spam. Then I recently found out that Cloudflare does free email routing if you use them as your […]
