God I miss specialty electronics stores. Amazon killed them all so now instead of running to the store to grab something for a project, the whole things gets delayed a week while I wait for them to ship me a roll of tessa tape 🤦

STEAM CONTROLLER REVEALED FINALLY!!! $99 is a bit more than I was hoping for (I was hoping for around $70) but STILL GRABBING ONE!!! #valve #linux #steamdeck #steamcontroller

Hot take: diet colas taste better than the originals. Diet coke, diet pepsi, etc.

Why does every map app but Google just absolutely suck??? #magicearth jumped off a cliff and put every single feature behind a paywall now, and the new app barely works and lacks features the old app had #comaps only finds streets, not addresses #osmand gives incorrect directions

I am so tired of hearing people say I want to install SteamOS on whatever random computer. There is nothing special about SteamOS. It is Linux with a launcher. Just use fucking Bazzite instead of trying to force a version of Linux without proper drivers onto a machine it was never intended for

I have a very controversial option that #trans people *checks notes* ...should have human rights. Wait, why is this controversial?

Say what you will about AI, but you have to admit they've made an otherwise impossible amount of terrible products, and all that it cost was an incredible amount of money.

Unprecedented levels of fuckery are obviously coming to the #us #election. Make sure you have all your documents in order, especially stuff with your new name if you are #trans or even recently married. Personally, I need my birth certificate reissued, then a new passport and "real ID" […]

...I overslept though 4 alarms, wtf???

Game time! Also controller ranting time, because I have a weird obsession with controllers. Tell me you controller opions in chat and I'll tell you why you're wrong! ...why are people booing? #linux #talesofxillia #vtuber #vsky https://youtube.com/live/09JIUeUejt0?feature=share […]

I want people to understand how absolutely INSANE it is that current best repairible laptop to release this year IS FROM APPLE. YES, THAT APPLE, WITH THE IPHONES. WHAT IS THIS TIMELINE?? https://mastodon.social/@iFixit/116245767877785273

I fucking hate #ticketmaster I had my brand new account banned for ??? reasons, the app doesn't log in, and they are THE ONLY OPTION TO BUY TICKETS THIS IS WHY I NEVER GO TO CONCERTS, THIS SHIT SUCKS

I stayed up way too late amd massively overslept... No stream, good night 😴

We're still in the process of working on the migration, but we've flipped over all of the infrastructure to the new stuff now! We're working on some bugs still, but we should still be on track for 10 AM UTC on Saturday. 🥓

Every time I try to use #fedilab for an extended period of time, I just come back to #tusky hecause it is SO MUCH FASTER

I have the final parts for my custom controller build. BUILDING STARTS THIS WEEK!!! HOWEVER, this means there won't be a stream on Wednesday so that I can build it all in one day. I'll be talking about and possibly showing a video of the process next stream though!

Tired, eepy, and wanting to mash buttons while nerding out over #linux Steam live, come chat about NERD SHIT while there's an anime game https://youtube.com/live/pO8EBxx3l8Q?feature=share https://twitch.tv/itsrogueren #vtuber #vsky #foss #reynatis #twewy

IT LIVES! IT LIIIIVES!!! #talesofxillia #vtuber #linux #vsky #foss #nobara https://youtube.com/live/BSah_3dC61A?feature=share https://twitch.tv/itsrogueren

Stream is being set up, please stand by

FUCK AI FUCK AI FUCK AI #fuckai #ai #chatgptcanburninhell

RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116087626685872207 OH MY GOD JUST FUCKING STOP ALREADY

Not only is age-verification impractical, pushed by fascist regimes, and violates privacy by-design, it really works at the opposite end of things. The internet should be assumed to be adults-only. If you're such a useless fuck of a parent you can't keep an eye on 'em, your kid is already lost […]

You should own a PC with a keyboard, a mouse, a GPU, and maybe a pen if you're an artist. AI pricing consumers out of computing is not just annoying but disgusting. These are devices not just for hobbies and luxury, but for creation and communication in a global age. Something many politicians […]

HAL-9000 WAS A WARNING, NOT A GOAL #ai #genai #fuckai #2001aspaceodyssey

Discord replacement seems to have come down to stoat.chat or @fluxer.app Personally I like #fluxer more since it can be self hosted if you want (not required though) but also because #stoat make their desktop app #materialyou which IMO is the most disgusting and worst UX design language to ever […]

RE: https://vt.social/@rogueren/116066345568508275 Seems I'm wrong about Stoat calls, they do have them now. Still can't log in to the app though so still can't use it ATM

I'm convinced there is not a single usable alternative to #discord At all. Every. Single. One. Sucks. All of them. #stoatchat - no calls, broken desktop app #fluxer - no mobile app #matrix - OH GOD WHERE DO I START?!

RE: https://vt.social/@rogueren/116066079965304732 LMFAO NEVER MIND HOSTING SUCKS ASS AND NO ONE OFFERS AN EASY SOLUTION IT'S ALL MANUAL, FUCK THAT!!! DEAD ON ARRIVAL #irc #ircv3

HOLY SHIT #irc IS BACK https://github.com/ObsidianIRC/ObsidianIRC This is a client for #ircv3 which is moderizing IRC to match features expected from modern chat apps like #discord THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. RETURN TO IRC.

Another day, anothe game reveal event with 0 information about #kingdomhearts4 Maybe one day... #kingdomhearts #squareenix #disney #sora #riku #kairi #roxas #xion #axel

@matrix will NEVER grow as it stands The entire system is fudementally flawed and has too much friction to use, lacks basic tools like moderation, and takes an act of congress to change ANYTHING in the spec Fix the issues, or stop wondering why everyone keeps using other apps

The more I learn about #yakuzakiwami3 the more upset I get at how awful it seems to be. Just... Just go play the original instead, its on GOG #yakuza #sega #likeadragon

Moderation on #matrix @matrix still sucks. I can't kick someone once and they be removed from all subspaces and rooms, you have to do EACH SPACE ONE BY ONE That is such an incredibly stupid way to do that, why would I have to kick someone MULTIPLE TIMES to remove them?!?!

My voice is completely shot and I have no idea why. I didn't stream yesterday thinking it was a one off issue, but I still sound like a cheese grater for some reason. Gonna not stream today either or do any voice stuff tomorrow in hopes it better by the time I go back to work...

You see, "AI" isn't about replacing *people*, it is about removing outdated jobs, like programmer, journalist, and customer support. Then we replace these with new, exciting jobs like incorrect programmer, incorrect journalist, and incorrect customer support. Please give us one trillion dollars.

RE: https://mas.to/@alternativeto/116007174834534128 And this is why I canceled my CR subscription

Support desk how can I help you? "My computer's not working! Can you fix it?" What's the problem with it? "I just said, it's not working!" 🙃

Ok turns out its not AI (for once) but apparently its commonnpractice that when stock gets low prices skyrocket to insane levels for extremely basic components like pin headers

GUESS I'M NOT BUILDING A CONTROLLER BECAUSE IT HAS MEMORY CHIPS AND NOW RHOSE HAVE BEEN PRICE HIKED THANKS TO GOD DAMN AI FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU GOOGLE OPENAI MICROSLOP ETC

Why the fuck can I never wake up in time to stream anymore?!?! This is the 3rd time I've woken up 30 minutes past stream time, AND I HAVE SHIT I HAVE TO DO FOR OVER AN HOUR AND THEN WORK THE REST OF THE DAY WHY THE FUCK WILL MY BRAIN NOT WAKE UP EARLIER?!

So unfortunately I do not think I'm going to be able to stream putting together my DIY #steamcontroller #opensplitdeck due to only being able to spend a single day actually putting it all together. I can't fit the whole build into one stream and I need to be away from home for part of it.

I'm gonna be building a DIY Steam Controller called #opensplitdeck soon thanks to a buddy at work splitting the cost of materials with me! Now the question is just how the hell do I stream the process? I don't have a proper overhead setup nor the room to make one.

Ok I think I have found the biggest load of bullshit RNG in a Trails game so far. #trailsofcoldsteel2, Trial Chest, Alisa and Emma. Its a 9 v 2 fight with every attack apparently having a chance to confuse. I've retried the fight 7 times now and I have yet to have a single turn before dying.

I am the fucker who will order a pizza with anchovies or pineapple. Fear me.

Hey, guess who is *STILL* sick?? HahahahaFUCK Its clearing up some finally so should be back next week
