Legitimately the best controller I've ever used, no exaggeration. Every single thing about it is exactly what I've wanted for ages. Feature parity with the Deck controls makes it so much easier to go back and forth between the two.
The only thing I don't really use is the grip sensor. I can't really think of a use for it since it's just always active while you're holding the thing? Maybe it can be used to make a one-handed layout for mindless grind games or something, idk
Takes some tinkering but I've been liking it. Like so many FOSS projects right now there's some LLM involvement unfortunately, but this dev's been putting out really solid projects even before all this stuff came about.
Definitely works better than SearXNG, plus the customization and the plugin system are excellent. 4play for google searches didnt work well for me, but the Google CSE engine solved that problem.
I use CoMaps for walking and for searching around, but Magic Earth's been better for driving. It's genuinely pretty good, but it sucks that it's closed source and proprietary, I'll gladly replace it with CoMaps or another FOSS alternative if one catches up.
At this point the only AAA games I touch are those from at least 10 years ago. Warframe and PoE2 scratch the AA/live service itch without overstaying their welcome, and for everything else, indie releases have it covered.
Been working through a bunch of new and older titles this year - in the past month or two alone I sunk so much time into Look Outside, Inscryption, and Endacopia, and just picked up Sprawl Zero which looks phenomenal. I'm working through the MGS series right now which I've somehow never played (hence the "older AAA" exception), and got a good handful of backlog selections lined up for after this binge.
It's wild how delusional these people are to legitimately believe these hallucinating dogshit ass bots that are nothing more than glorified Akinators are anywhere close to sentient. Psychosis go brrrrr
The buying vs "renting" comparison is on-point. Setting up Jellyfin last year was great and all, but Navidrome is probably the most used service in my entire setup. I've probably spent more on music files than I have in all my years on streaming services, but for the artists, one album purchase goes so much further than 1000+ streams last I checked (though admittedly the bulk of my library is still built through slskd).
The entire appeal of a home server to me in the first place was breaking away from big tech bullshit, and this was such a huge piece of it.
I've gotten a few updates to go through after repeatedly clearing the cache and trying new accounts, but yeah it's pretty fucked lately. Google's probably trying to crack down on the burner accounts it uses.
I'm using my Steam Machine partially for the same purpose, but this is the first I'm hearing about this receiver. I got a shitty little PC remote that kind of works but isn't great, I might give this a shot
For some reason this gets swept under the rug in the software space, even the FOSS world. AI coding, code reviews, etc, are no different at all than AI "art" or chatbots or whatever. People will try to claim that it's no different than going to Stackoverflow or whatever, but these tools still utilize a fuckton of resources accelerating climate change, are built on mountains of stolen data, and Claude/ChatGPT/Github all line the pockets of fascists. The CEOs of all of these companies should legitimately be rotting in cells right now.
There's absolute 0 ethical use of this stuff. The closest you can get is an on-device model that runs offline on local hardware, but even those are trained on absurdly massive amounts of stolen data - sure you might not be using destructive resources to run it, but it wouldn't exist without that.
I'm currently using Collabora integrated into OpenOffice and I can't wait to swap it out for something else in the future, supposedly OO is working on more supported options. It's such trash.

God I can't fuckin wait
I actually got in the queue but I probably can't afford the damn thing right now, I was being a bit optimistic when I signed up lmfao
It definitely is :/

I just let it rip this morning and no issues whatsoever
That's almost the entire reason I'm even using CSS Loader, holy shit
GrapheneOS on a secondhand pixel is the best choice, but that's not saying much tbh. The entire smartphone ecosystem is fucked.

This thread is the first I'm ever hearing of this thing and god this looks like such a mess.

There's a weird sort of novelty to it just once, but that's it. Anything past that is just bizarre obsession.
Gutted regulations, massive bribes, and ICE kidnappings a fuckton of the agricultural workforce. Capitalism at work.
"at least partially vibecoded" meanwhile the github repo itself says the entire thing was
hard pass
