So I got this Galaxy S25 and while I mostly am ambivalent about it, I do like the in-screen fingerprint reader. It's probably the best thing about it and I am really wondering why Apple hasn't done one. 🤔

I cant wait for Element or some other open/free chat to become a decent discord alternative, I will switch SOOO fast.

So I got a Samsung work phone so I could test Android apps and the Galaxy S25 is a phone-ass phone. It’s how I remember phones before iOS. Lots of preinstalled carrier apps. The menus are a mess. It took me so long to figure out how to set up fingerprints. (It doesn’t ask you in onboarding) As […]

So, somehow I haven't heard the monty on the run theme song before, but it's now my favorite thing ever. (song demo is at the 29:50 mark) Also, I need to get me one of these breadboard 6502 kits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSMQ3U1Thzw

Wow. I’m actually proud of my state. #indiana https://www.wthr.com/article/news/politics/redistricting/not-enough-votes-indiana-senate-will-not-meet-to-vote-on-redistricting-rod-bray-mike-braun-donald-trump-todd-huston-statehouse/531-75f3bb1c-0f82-40b1-808e-08f46700049b

I checked out threads again... it's just as batshit crazy as I remember.

I was like literally a month away from buying a new Meta Quest for my VR gaming (my old quest 2 is having... issues) but then the Steam Frame was announced, I will be holding my purchase 🙌

It will be a huge loss for gamers the day Valve decides to IPO. Probably shortly after Gabe dies. 😢

So like JP Morgan died in 1913. I just looked it up. Why is Trump saying he was at the Epstein Island? I’m confused.

It's crazy to me how most of the time when we are sick, we have no clue what it was. We just feel like shit for a day or two, then we're fine. Also I am sick :blobcatsick: and I don't know what it is.

Is the aurora visible yet? I’ve not feeling great tonight so I’m kinda waiting curled up in bed for there to be something to see. #indiana

I am honestly surprised that the Epstein files still exist. If I were a corrupt politician with control over the DOJ, and they had a ton of incriminating files on me, I'd expect there to be a way to just make them disappear. Kudos to whatever system has kept them preserved.

"I didn't know that was in the bill" is an unacceptable response from our lawmakers, this is literally their job. The main thing we require of them is to read and vote on shit. If they can't manage it, make way for someone who can.

I miss how it felt to work as a software engineer before 2020.

I am still super excited, but I think we should temper our expectations. This is competing with xbox and playstation, not gaming PC's. #steammachine #gaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rv83LgXiN0

Oooh, I like! https://www.theverge.com/games/818622/valve-console-wars-price-sony-microsoft-nintendo-windows

Tinkering with an incremental/clicker concept. Not sure it will go anywhere but I wanted to make something that wouldn’t send me down a graphics rabbit hole. Call it an exercise. #gamedev #godot

Went to snag another one before bed. I think it’s supposed to be brighter tomorrow night. #aurora #indiana #photo

We got some Aurora Borealis in Bargersville. #aurora #indiana

One thing I hate about using Linux is it always feels like there is a fix for some issue I am having always in the next release. I try to stick to stable builds, but small things annoy me and pile up, then I switch to unstable and regret it when other things break. #linux

I dream about the year where alongside the new Xcode, Apple announces: "AppleCode, our new software development tool, written from the ground up for Swift and Apple Silicon" No support for Interface builder, objective-c, or x86-64. It is time for a new foundation.

All video games should mute (or at least strongly reduce the volume of) music and audio when paused. Most of the time when I pause, I am trying to hear someone who is talking. It's super annoying when I pause the game and the music just keeps playing at full volume. (Looking at you Ball X Pit) […]

So I was pretty meh on this, till I noticed it's actually being developed with Poncle... now I am VERY interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5E_EaxN1qo

Everyone wants a spin on the slot machine. #latestagecapitalism

Twitch as a piece of software is kinda dog shit. I guess it just shows you that at the end of the day, content is king.

The time change was only 1 hour, why does it feel like 10:00EST already‽ #DaylightSavings

I had an iPod with Video, but always kinda wanted a Zune, the social features really intrigued me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KzuHeuPsaI

Just watched last week's South Park and it totally nailed it again... this season has been great!

I got a Digg invite. I’m super skeptical and will probably still prefer Lemmy but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.

They just keep moving those goal posts out. This is the AI industry in a nutshell. @9to5Mac https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/115486708082616466

Is there a way to hide specific Airplay devices from the Mac sound output picker (particularly in the control center) I keep accidentally turning on the living room tv when trying to pick my Airpods. 😡 #macos #Apple #airplay

I never realized how much Rube Goldberg machines were a staple of 80’s kids movies.

The #balatro update for #VampireSurvivors is a bit bonkers. Look at my stats. That was driven by the new card mechanic. 🙃

I keep sitting half cross legged in my chair with my right leg over my left foot. And it keeps hurting because of it. I take some Naproxen and the pain goes away after a day or so, but then I’m immediately back to sitting on it the next day. I might be an idiot.

It's absolutely insane that our democracy was only really held together by shame and decorum.

Just backed the Vampire Survivors board game. I have no clue how well this will work as a board game, but I can’t wait to find out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/152730994/vampire-survivors-the-board-game?ref=thanks-copy

Rollo takes advantage of the heated blanket. (Enjoy this contrived post so I can test Mona 7’s generate alt text feature)

Liquid Glass is like 5x better with the new tinted option. #iOS

I hate using Postman, but there aren't any perfect alternatives. Posting.sh is great, but it's still quite immature. I need something that works with flat files (so we can use git) and scripting (so we can automate some flows). And we really need something that doesn't have an associated seat […]

Ball x Pit is awesome.

Has there ever been a hyped technology met with as much skepticism as AI and still went on to be as big as it was hyped to be? Because it sure FEELS more like crypto, self-driving cars or VR and not like the printing press, the internet or automobiles. #AI

I picked this up to try to run at a campfire party with friends this weekend. It looks like it will be a great outdoors pseudo-RPG. https://memento-mori.com/parsely/

Forever games are a bad idea... except for Vampire Survivors, I will probably play that as long as Poncle keeps making content. It helps that DLC is usually only a couple bucks.

It feels like I had to watch a lot of videos about the dangers of steroids in high school. Weird how it never came up in real life. 🤔

Since I first watched Mythbusters in the 2000's, one of my favorite types of content has been watching someone take a problem and step by step work at a solution. This is some seriously cool stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4TdHrMi6do

Oh man this is the guy who did Unshaken from Red Dead Redemption 2. That song was great. @BNONews https://mastodon.social/@BNONews/115373647513904742

My iPhone 17 on iOS 26 is dropping photos constantly tonight. What the hell?

Doing Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. The Fallout house was great. #hhn #hhn2025 #fallout
