The only reason why I started to doomscroll social media, is because I want to keep tabs on how close my nation is to having a civil war. If it is to happen, I don’t want to be completely surprised, and have some agency at my level.

Santa really should have put Elon onto the naughty list.

The guy in the fancy suit looks different from me.

This is pretty much my posture regarding ICE and the Trump Regime. If I am destined for one of RFK’s plantations, I intend to kill any ICE bastard who comes for me.

More importantly, if this cold war goes hot, I will engage with ICE bastards in warfare. I am simply waiting for the Blue States Military to give the order to assemble and uphold the spirit of the Constitution.

I don’t get ads. I am nothing.

Honestly, I am kinda tempted to say “To hell with fiscal responsibility!”, and just live like someone with a decent income. That said, I will do the supposedly responsible thing and just keep foreign currency or buy gold. Because I am expecting this scenario to come for the American dollar:

Is this the right tactic to take? Who knows… 🤷‍♂️

Me: “You can afford to travel?! You must be incredibly well off!”

Millionaire: 😰

AI might be good for simulating attacks, because they can do lots of attempts and iteration. IMO, AI and (competent) people would make for a good pairing for trying out ideas before deploying a project into the real world.

As someone who does AI and gaming as hobbies, I look forward to a corporate bubble popping. Being able to max out an EPYC or Threadripper Pro’s DDR5 capacity would be awesome. :)

I view AI to be like the internet: Most corporate players won’t survive the bubble, but the ones that do, will be incredibly influential. Ordinary people made great use of the internet - but failed to make it really decentralized. Thus the enshittification of Reddit, Youtube, social media, and so forth.

We can choose to embrace local LLM that is fully under our control, or cede ownership to the 1% forevermore.

I wouldn’t mind a Steam Whistle, if it lets me have privacy and security.

Granted. I really hope he is raising a protege to take the helm when the time comes, or divides up the Steam Kingdom and lets the best folk win.

The ways I cheat depends on the game. Sometimes to get rid of grind, others to obtain abilities that are mutually exclusive. EG: X-COM, where I had soldiers with all branches of their abilities active, rather than having to pick just one. Max stat spreads, without having to pick a specialty.

I pretty much play games for narrative or to simply keep my hands busy while listening to Behind the Bastards.

Which is good. It is just that I don’t have much patience for troubleshooting, I prefer to just game or work. For me, I would stick to Windows if it weren’t for Microsoft likely being a bad actor.

Someday, we will be using AI to generate fake IDs and faces, simply because our governments refuse to respect our privacy. They will have uncanny resemblance to political critters who enacted the surveillance.

As with everything born of enshittification, I do not know if this is to be a lame joke or reality. 😒

I am waiting for SteamOS Desktop to be released before switching. I want the support of an 800lb corporate gorilla, that prioritizes gaming. I use mods and play niche games, so I need a Linux that balances casual users while allowing for some power user stuff.

I already know about Bazzite and Cachy, but again, I want the support of a focused giant who won’t die or change hands.

One of the few museum pieces that Indiana Jones would gladly punch, and never be put on display. Probably put it in storage by the Ark of the Covenant, just in case it needs to be melted by Yahweh’s fury.
