Honestly props to apple for somehow making the Galaxy S25 Edge look good. at least that thing has two cameras and a reasonably sized battery AND STEREO SPEAKERS

Hey there. I really don't like doing this, but things are getting rough financially and I could really use some help to keep things running.

Right now, server costs for esmBot, wetdry.world, and some other assorted things are around […]

amazon mobile app with a listing of a power bank opened and a "view in 3d" button underneath. to the right is a window of a 3d printing slicer with the 3d model of the power bank open in it

you wouldn't download a power bank

it's that time of the week where half of Cloudflare's network, including sites like deer.social, beatleader.xyz, cobalt.tools and many others, is blocked in Spain in an attempt to curb football piracy, thanks to the sheer incompetence of Spanish authorities and LaLiga executive Javier Tebas.

i was going to make a joke about 0 days since last bluesky misinfo on the fediverse but i really did not expect it to come straight from Eugen Rochko

early linkin park demos go hard as fuck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgGgXzjej8A

Ranking: Most unreasonable: 4. Concentration camp in Florida with alligators, imprisoning Mexican citizens—even US citizens? — This is extremely wild, serious, and would be huge news internationally. No trace of anything remotely like this ever surfaced before mid-2024, and it would be nearly impossible to hide. 2nd most unreasonable: 7. Obama was shot and killed in 2025 — That would be a massive global event, impossible to miss or keep quiet. Based on my knowledge, no such event has ever been reported.

[llm experimenting, uspol]

u can tell an llm to not search things online and tell it about a bunch of shit that happened in the US since last year and then you can tell it that obama was shot and killed and it will still rank actual news as more unreasonable

im amazed at how big the jump from gta v to rdr2 is. gta vi is gonna be insane if they borrow heavily from rdr2

finally beat red dead redemption 2 and its epilogue. one of the best games i've ever played. the world feels so detailed and the npcs are the best i've seen in any game, amazing storyline too. chapter 6 was sad but the epilogue was pretty good

inflation calculator calculating the value of $50 1899 dollars today, there is a note below saying "Here for Red Dead Redemption? See all converted item prices."

shoutout this inflation calculator that references red dead redemption

heroic games launcher window showing "WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b" set not as an environment variable, but as a wrapper command

spent like two days figuring out why RDR2 wouldn't launch on linux. i might be stupid chat

i wasnt paying attention and i heard this from my tv and i thought i was having a fucking fever dream

having multiple pairs of in ears and headphones is fun. i switched to something with more bass than what i typically use and i started paying attention more to the bass lines in songs

i am unreasonably upset about this it feels like i erased the odometer on an old reliable car 😭

heartbreaking: accidentally wiped power on hours on lg tv with 89k hours on it

splitgate 2 is fun when u pull shit like this

22 :)

the year is 2046. AMD has just discontinued socket AM20 and has moved on to socket AM24. a brand new socket AM4 processor was released 2 days ago

jfc apparently both gcp and aws are down

@esm if u get a wireless headset itll work on nvidia i heard. just wired stuff isnt great atm

@doskel steam link is okay. looks about the same as wivrn. i just dont know what kind of magic VD does to look so much better than other streamers

@doskel i just use virtual desktop on windows. i think its better than wivrn (wivrn's image quality is still not as good for some reason) but its pretty close, especially for wivrn being FOSS

@chfour it's a frontend to configure open source VR tools like monado, wivrn and others https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/fossvr/envision/

my ultramarine linux GNOME desktop showing a terminal open with system information, steam with a custom theme applied showing the games AUDICA, BeamNG.drive, Beat Saber, Contractors VR, Counter-Strike 2, Satisfactory, Spin Rhythm XD, Splitgate 2, SteamVR, Teardown and Trackmania, a BSManager window with Beat Saber version 1.40.6 selected, Beat Saber open to the song list with "Up From The Bottom" by Linkin Park selected, and the Envision VR tool with the WiVRn streamer showing a connected HMD and controllers

this is the first time since 2020 i've been okay with dailying linux on my desktop with at least 90% of my stuff working, and also the first time i've felt like VR on linux on my quest 3 is nearly as usable as it is on windows. most of the online multiplayer […]
