I would like to be way WAY more hype and excited about the new SteamFrame.
But like all Steam hardware it will most probably not be available to me, since Steam does not ship to Puerto Rico, or even accept my credit card unless it is for software.
Note #1) I am well aware there is work-arounds for shipping. That is not the point.
Note #2) No. Statehood is NOT the solution to being a 2nd class American citizen in a colony of the U.S.
Note #3) This is not an ask for solutions/mansplaining.
Doggo is old. I am old.
It's almost 1am, and I need to pee. I walk to the bathroom. Doggo starts to get out of the dog bed.
"Stay, bruh, just going to pee."
Doggo follows me anyway. Stumbling groggily, like an old dog who is old and should be sleeping...
Then I remember that I watch him pee and poo, and clean up after, whenever we go outside. And wonder if the doggo feels a duty to stand watch, as a way of returning the favor, for me looking after him.
I love Godot Engine, and the devs have my deepest respect.
But,
Man, do I still hate UIDs...

I hate The Book of Eli
Now, is it well made? It's not mediocre, though the plot holes, my gosh. It's OK.
It's not that it's a bad movie. But I still hate it.
And there has never been any instances of anyone ever saying, "I love that movie The Book of Eli!", were I don't instantly imagine crossing their face with my fist.
I fucking hate it.
And maybe, I guess, this is how humanity will die in a whimper and not a bang.
Because we really cannot, will not?, be willing to recognize a threat to ALL OF US as long as it offers the slightest most trite of conveniences to us individually.
Them: I just cannot understand why you hate "AI", I found it useful once! You are not making any sense... AT ALL!
"AI", meanwhile: "By 2030, the current rate of AI growth would annually put 24 to 44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the emissions equivalent of adding 5 to 10 million cars to U.S. roadways. It would also drain 731 to 1,125 million cubic meters of water per year—equal to the annual household water usage of 6 to 10 million Americans."
Quick proto-homage to Descenders
I hope that when regular people who were willing to give Linux a chance this year go back to Windows Copilot in 2026, those Linux experts who couldn't be welcoming don't start crying about regular people not sticking with it.
If you don't know the answer then let it go. It really is OK to not know things!
Is there truly no answer, then say so, "Hey I do not know of an app like ABC on Windows. But you can try the Terminal using command XYZ. Here's a link with more info about it"
I swear on my mother's ass-cheeks... The only issue I still have with using Linux as a daily driver is Linux "experts"
Someone asks, "hey is there a _*GUI*_ app like ABC on Windows to convert file format A into B!?"
There's always a dude, and it's ALWAYS a dude. With the, "oh yeah just use command fl2bs in the terminal"
Like... Please read the question! Be empathic! But you wanted to be first with a correct answer. Any answer.
"Just use ffmpeg"
MFER! NO!
I adore the Descenders soundtrack.

Looking forward to NOT fixing typos as a way to signal my humanity slash humility.
"The cruelty is the point."
The cruelty must multiply. No cruelty is too insignificant to not be added to the cruelty pile.
And everyone is hurtin'...
(except billionaires)
When everyone is hurtin' it's harder for everyone to help each other.
I'm no conspiracy theorist but it all feels concerted. To drive us to depression, to keep us from fighting, docile. Cynical. Afraid.
The tap-what-the-fuck-oh-gotta-tap-again-pause to actually boost is getting old really fucking fast.

Currently backing up the files I still have on OneDrive.
I had scaled back from Premium OneDrive to Personal. But I'm planning to go back to free tier.
I have never used Outlook for personal stuff. I am switching to LibreOffice for documents. So about the only thing I would need OneDrive for anymore is XBox screenshots. But!... I almost haven't used the XBox since cancelling GamePass.
To: Mutuals Who CW Spoilers
Subject: Appreciation
Body: I appreciate you taking time to add Spoiler CW to things even if it isn't new or even if it isn't something I'm necessarily interested in.
I see you and love you.
Also, please do tell me if I should add spoilers when I overlook doing so.

Poor man's benchmark 3D scene. 350+ spheres on a laptop before dipping below 60FPS, on the desktop I get 3.7k.
I'm just trying to compare among my devices. I might make an android executable to see how many spheres I get on my cheap android phone.
The difference between a correct answer, and an empathic one...
...sigh...
Before fedi, I had never been fortunate enough to talk to Italian communists.
Also before fedi, I had never received any spam in Italian.
It's funny how spammers know I engage with a certain language now. But have no idea that I can't actually speak the language.
I really hope that in the future I receive Chinese spam. And if I ever receive Vietnamese spam I will truly consider myself blessed.
