seeing gamer rage over this but calvulsted 100/hrs a month at a little over 3 hours a day and like. I do not care lmao www.pcmag.com/news/nvidia-...

when is my doctors office going to learn that you cannot get an accurate blood pressure reading on someone who just biked 6 miles and has been off the bike for less than 10 minutes

It’s Christmas Day bro go for a walk and smoke weed with your grand nephews or whatever

everyone likes unlimited PTO until someone tries to use it

In retrospect this was to be expected when trying game streaming on Christmas Day

why is my father in law watching Anthony Fantano on his 83” OLED with motion smoothing on

this thing is literally just a controller with a screen squeezed in the middle

I have been experiencing 40-60% packet loss for like 72 hours now 😭

why would you use limewire for this

Merry Christmas 🎄

new software also doesn’t often support 5+ year old versions of Linux. that we can install newer versions of our operating systems is great but this isn’t a problem with any particular application.

loving all the nerds in the replies who think that there is a solid business case for spending 3-4 days on a train rather than 5 hours on a plane. the number of people with any interest in making that trip and are extremely anti-transfer are in the single digits per decade

no one gets to talk shit about Homebrew anymore. it is making my life easier right now

someone at Valve is having a very horrible Christmas rn

does this count as putting gifts under the tree

“the problem with homebrew is that I have a crusty ass MacBook running an unsupported version of macos” Alright dude

she probably should have done worse fortune.com/2025/12/22/1...

lmao

brew is fantastic actually, don’t understand this sentiment. It’s fast, has lots of features, works everywhere, and doesn’t require root.

tailscale keys lasting 90 days at maximum FUCKING SUCKS

update: Oblivion Remastered does in fact work perfectly on my ROG Ally X running Bazzite, zero crashes, no major performance issues in an hour of gameplay. On the Xbox Ally running natively it crashed 5 times and I could no longer progress through the game. you gotta be shitting me lmao

literally got an xbox ally to be a windows device for shit gamepass + shit that requires annoying setup on linux/has issues and a) oblivion is unplayable b) final fantasy xvi released special sauce to optimize for xbox ally BUT NOT ON THE STEAM VERSION SO I WOULD NEED TO REBUY THE GAME

this is beyond silly lol

who is ready for #GamerGate2, this time doing investigations and writeups about suspected use of AI...

So far Oblivion is living up to its reputation, it has crashed 3 separate times by the time I left the sewers

my internet has been basically dying almost all day and I have no idea why. Random crazy latency, web pages dialing to load, upload is abysmal. I’m crying here 😭

bliss

Windows is so good at stopping your pin from working for no apparent reason

that’s not a Marxist position

Me, a Marxist: AI is a technology that can be used to crush capitalism and to free us from the immiseration of compulsory work

Bought an Xbox

I may have gone crazy on the light thing (two 1200 lumen lights + the included bike light)

ahh yes the affordability scam www.cnbc.com/2025/12/23/s...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

love seeing shit like this, your pds is more restrictive than bluesky's !

it's funny how awesome the zed flatpak functions. honestly I just never have the horror stories people seem to describe with flatpaks

In a feat of unbelievable irony, the word “slop” has lost all meaning

We know — from first principles — that your weewee is massive bro. Why do people keep needing empirical tests?

I’m a big fan of the tautology happening here, good stuff.

One of my professors in undergrad was a “cognitive scientist” who would insist he had proved P=NP because a certain minimal surfaces problem was NP-hard but you could use soap films to solve it in O(1). That represented a substantially more rigorous and defensible argument than whatever this is:

m4 mac mini is $400 rn at microcenter and that is hard to pass up ngl

i wish people wouldn't threaten all the economists off this platform

it's over

whatever happened to the built-in bsky pronoun field

RAM prices are getting to the point when you can buy a mini PC with laptop RAM for only like $100 more than the RAM itself costs lol

My apologies President Clinton, I was not familiar with your game.

Reds: "YOUR HERO CLINTON IS DEFINITELY IN THE EPSTEIN FILES TOO" Blues: "so the fuck what? if he's in em, he should go to prison too!" Clinton, via spokesperson: "release em ya little bitches. do it. I fuckin dare ya."

I feel like a lot of LLM criticism lately has devolved into gotchas about the objectionable things you can make them say rather than the objectionable things one can do with them (spam, harass, etc), so the suggestions thus end up being all about massively expanding state & corporate censorship tbh

excuse me?!

it must be so fun being gay you never HAVE to tell your parents you're hitting it raw (trying for kids), you can just tell them you're going bareback for the love of the game
