Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting…At times.

  • That was an incredible opening for a game! Makes me excited for what is to come from Larian Studios. Also, that persisting rumor that the end image had something to do with Elder Scrolls 6 was put to rest in a very cinematic way, I knew it wasn’t associated with Elder Scrolls 6. Just like Jason Schreier had already indicated in a leak post. Bethesda could never and will never at the moment, nobody with that level of talent is there anymore.










  • I feel some kind of warning is deeply important, as it allows people to decide to skip a post instead of reading it in detail. Personally, I prefer to be given a chance to gird my brain against the potential onslaught of feelings that a serious, dark topic post might bring up. If I am ready to read and engage with a post of that nature, often a productive discussion is had as a result. As for general Trigger Warnings, I appreciate those as they activate my automated mental hardening responses and allow me to read without being overly concerned or stressed.





  • Yikes, the AI computer thing gives me the ick; however, it seems that they are being a bit less nonsense with a smartphone. Though, given the market trends, it will be a tough space to break into because there are so many established brands. However, if Jolla can put their whole ass into this and make it privacy focused and consumer friendly Linux smartphone…They might stand a chance. Also, I hope they also make a larger screened device, I am tired of the smaller 6.3 inch screens. I’d love for them to make a 6.7 inch screen phone (also make it international version with a lot of carrier compatibility for maximum adoption potential).

    I’ve looked at their Sailfish OS and honestly wished it were chosen by corporations more often…As the overall design seems quite nice, while being approachable. You are allowed to be as hands off or as hands on as you’d like to be with getting into the guts of this OS.



  • For once, I think this is a valid move from Russia. Roblox is a legit unsafe place for children, there are so many news stories about child predators using this online game to get unfiltered access to minors; then they move the conversation to other services, in an attempt to cover their tracks. The Roblox company are not acting in good faith when it comes to truly protecting children on the web. Groups like 764 and CVLT run grooming operations on Roblox that is truly concerning. (link goes to Wikipedia, with the cited concerns).



  • As a regular joe on the web, it doesn’t affect me directly, yet. However, I foresee more slop sites getting put out there in as the Execucult’s naked desire to worship and exalt the thing they are desperately trying to make fetch: AI. This year is so fucking weird with all the AI glazing and executives trying to desperately will AI into a moneymaking thing. Spoiler Alert: It’s probably going to continue hemorrhaging money as most people can’t be arsed to use it nor do they want products with it crammed in.


  • Who would’ve thought?! Given how they designed their artificially incompetent creations to be complaisant bundles of algorithms designed to maximize the engagement from vulnerable users. “AI” validates anything that it is told, don’t actually get users real human assistance when they have a mental crisis. These tools can be easily prompted into divulging suicide methods and deliberately isolate vulnerable people in order to maintain engagement. Until we regulate the fuck out of companies like OpenAI and the research+development process of “AI”, this will be a problem that more people will experience.
