Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul

And Pluribus now!

Absolutely. I've been using it for a month and it feels like Google, but before they enshittified. DDG was my previous goto search engine, but it's gotten really bad as well. Especially the aggressive keyword replacements drove me almost insane.

When it comes to gaming, I believed VR games are a pointless waste of time, for quite a while. Then I played "Psychonauts: In the Rhombus of Ruin" and had so much fun, it's amazing! VR definitely has a place, but it's still quite expensive.

What I'm really waiting for is an affordable VR headset with a high enough resolution to watch 3D movies comfortably. I have a PSVR1 and I've watched TRON: Legacy on it, but the resolution is a bit too shitty to really enjoy it. It's passable for games, but not for movies. The PSVR2 would be better in theory, but Sony decided in their infinite wisdom to remove 3D BluRay playback on the PS5. -.-

A VR headset from Valve will most likely be really well supported on Linux. If that means I can finally watch 3D MKV's, then fuck yes, I'm in. Definitely not paying 1.000€ for it, though.

That's just so stupid. I can't imagine Doctorow's usual audience falling for this, though.

(Started reading it today and couldn't put it away, it's an amazing book, especially the chapter about technofeudalism. I bought my copy as a DRM-free .epub on thalia.de and it's definitely the real one 😆.)

Yup, that guy just looooves the money. At least he openly admits it in his performances.

The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.

I remembered you asking! He now has a WordPress blog where he uploads high-res PNG's. This one is here: https://ionomycinart.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/birdies.png

I imagine you must be quite skilled to be able to manage your whole-ass company (and run their systems into the ground). So it shouldn't be a problem to get another job after being fired.

Why fuck with your future, just because of your own ego and a drive for revenge? That guy must've watched too many animes.

I actually think we do need more vibe-coded OSes. Linux marketshare won't climb up by itself!

And the Zune. Don't forget the Zune!

Well...looks like my employer will have to buy me a Macbook soon.
