advocating “hustle culture” is often virtue signalling right? “I iz very hard worker and people should appreciate me” or something?

Thank you for sharing!

Very excite 😋

God it’s weird that 2025 was the year everyone got free Photoshop skills

I was literally just pondering this. I’ve got a local backup job that is a very simple rsync command which I originally setup as a cron job. I’ve got a cloud backup job I setup later with systemd timers. I went to add a new backup job and had to decide which to go with.

There is absolutely still a place for the cron jobs. If you are aware of it’s limitations it cannot get simpler than a new /etc/cron.d/ file with a single line. But the systemd timer path offers some nice functionality in exchange for a tad more complexity and less footguns. Whichever one you understand the best is probably the best answer.

I think it’ll sell just fine. They’re not gonna manufacture them in console sized batches. They’ll sell what they make and manufacture more if people like it. Gonna pair well with the headset. I think it’s a rich kid and nerdy tech guy console.

probably not, they’ve been building a translation layer called FEX that does x86 -> ARM, reasonable to expect it’s an x86 build optimized for FEX and the hardware specs of the Frame https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

but honestly who knows, they might just release an ARM native build, it’s their own damn game, they were one of the earliest gaming companies to port games originally written for windows to linux, it’s entirely possible they’ll do a full port (am I remembering wrong internet?)

the FEX thing is underrated, I know FEX isn’t new but the news that we can expect to performantly run almost our entire steam catalogue on ARM hardware is wild

We started shopping for an EV about a month before the rebate expired and ended up getting a used one that wouldn’t have qualified for the rebate a couple weeks after the deadline. It was pretty clear to us that most used EVs that qualified were snapped up in the preceding weeks. As far as new EVs, we saw a moderate price drop after the rebates. Not quite enough to cover the lost rebates but it was clear manufacturers were trying to compensate.

All this to say I suspect the rebate expiration led to a bunch of used EV sales eating into new EV sales and I don’t see a huge price difference on new EVs post-rebate. EVs are a little pricier than their ICE counterparts but I don’t think the rebate expiration made much of a difference to consumers. Pretty clear manufacturers were the real beneficiaries.

Been waiting to dance on that grave

Megabonk and Hades, I love both of them so much right now

This is the way

I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star president, they let you do it. You can do anything

I think the term “protest” is what throws people off. Protest can encompass a lot of different actions, including showing up to a park on the weekend. But when a lot of people hear “protest”, they imagine more direct action. They imagine people directly interfering with the fascist’s agenda.

These seem more like rallies to me. The point seems to be less about interfering with the fascist administration and more about stretching organizing muscles, building networks and strengthening the resolve of millions of people around the country. Reminding them that so many of their friends and neighbors care enough to show up too. These aren’t direct action in the same way but I think they still serve an important purpose.

We are building a web of trust and solidarity for the days ahead. Things will get worse, we are not even a year into this administration and I don’t think the gloves have really come off yet. These protest or rallies or whatever you want to call them will help us be ready. When the time comes there will be organizers and volunteers and millions of people ready to step together and fight for what we believe in. But first, this.

My Kindle is significantly lighter than my phone which makes it easier to hold for long stretches. The screen is bigger and I can render the text a little larger without sacrificing too much.The screen doesn’t produce light on it’s own which reduces eyestrain. My Kindle has a warm nightlight which I hope helps me sleep better. The page turn buttons are better placed than the volume buttons

I’ve read for hundreds and hundreds of hours on both phone and Kindle and the Kindle is absolutely worth the cost for me (once it’s hacked). I hope there are better and more open options available when it finally dies.

It’s important to note a distinction here, maybe not a difference in kind but certainly a difference in degree, in attitude, in perspective.

You could argue all writing is propaganda. We take a slice of the world and distill it into words but we will always write from our own perspective. It is impossible to write from someone else’s point view. All writing is a slice of the world, mangled and tainted with ourselves. Good writing cannot escape this, maybe it hews closer to the world, maybe it injects less of our opinions but it is always biased. The best writing often shows us the world from a viewpoint that enriches our own understanding.

There has never been writing on that website that strays so far from reality, that is so heavily injected with a very specific viewpoint. And it is a viewpoint that benefits very few of us. It does not enrich our understanding of the world, it frays and decays it. This is an important moment because we have never seen writing like this on these websites. There are laws written to prevent moments like this, but they have failed. It is a clear, obvious and direct signal that our institutions have given up on meaning, on the rule of law, and on the american dream. Sure, maybe we’ve always been a fascist country, but we have never, ever, been this fascist before. This is new territory for us and it is worth consideration.

hobbies, most of them still cost something but it varies and you can usually keep or re-sell the equipment, bonus points if you can find someone else to enjoy them with
