Dankpods has gone in on Linux too. He did a video about building a Bazzite PC a couple of weeks back.

We were promised sunlit uplands, so surely it's just a matter of time, right?

Right?

Uh huh, uh huh

I use Soulseek along with a little command line tool to download all the music for my radio show. It's an absolute joy to use.

I always felt bad for Hello Games. They were a small team making what was essentially an indie game, but for one reason or another, No Man's Sky built up waaaaay more hype than they had presumably anticipated. I was part of that hype, because as a huge fan of 65daysofstatic I was really looking forward to hearing what they did for it.

So Sony picked up on the hype and marketed the everloving shit out of it, leaving Hello in a position where they had to deliver what was by that being considered a AAA game with an indie team. And of course, they came up short. How could they not.

That whole debacle was Sony's fault, but Hello have spent the past ten years making amends for it.

In a better time, yes. These days it'll throw a warning that the application can't be trusted and offers to throw it in the bin. You have to run a command in the terminal now. Every time the app updates.

LibreWolf has updated?

Gotta do the dance again. Every. Fucking. Time.

I setup Sunshine on my Kubuntu machine last night. Took me fucking AGES to figure it out. Recently set it up on my M1 Mac mini, which took me a couple of minutes.

Hank's (and John's) videos are often my little snippets of calm space that help me to stop and take stock of where my brain is. It's easy to hear a message once, decide to live by it, then forget it within a few days, but regularly watching videos where they reaffirm the spirit of that message is super helpful.

It seems like your reaction to Frankenstein was very much the same as mine.

It's original for its time so I tried to read it through that lens, but man did I struggle with it.

Holy shit! TIL.

Red Dead Redemption 2

...again

I've just resurrected my partner's old(ish) gaming PC. It's got a reasonable GTX1060 GPU, so I've installed Kubuntu and am dipping my toes into the world of Linux gaming. So far it's been pretty smooth.

Difficult to know how well it'll handle RDR2 properly until I'm out of that accursed opening section up in the mountains. Not for the first time I wish there was a way to skip straight to the train holdup.

I voted LibDem because Labour are nowhere to be seen where I live. ABC, init.
