Hello yes hi. You might remember me from other social media networks Stormo or some variant thereof.

Anyway I’m a girl now so that’s cool.

I’m currently unemployed, looking for work either writing or in customer service (but I really want to move away from that).

We can be friends if you like.

Sad I didn’t see you but glad you had a good time.

It’s such a cute little console! It even includes a little sticker printer because it was designed primarily to cash in on the Photo Club craze of the 1990s. Was also aimed at teen girls, hence the name and logo.

There was some really neat rare retro stuff at the retro booth at PAX, including Famicom and N64 prototypes, a Bandai Pippin, and a Pippin dev unit.

A photo of The Goon Eatery from google street view in the town of Nar Nar Goon, Australia. It's a small mid century to 80s designed shop with what looks like tables inside and some outside, and a sans serif white font on black background sign.

I am dealing with a “thorny problem” right now, today. It is hard and scary because IT IS ALWAYS HARD AND SCARY. But it is also where you do your best work. It is where stories go from “meh” to “WOW”. When I fix it - because that is the job - I will be that much closer to something worth reading.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Looking more into it, Bazzite seems to be based on Fedora, so that's a big nope from me. RPM can bite me.

Tamara Jade @tamaaya.net · 2d

Yeah I just stumbled across that. My main requirement is that I can play games before launch, because I need to be able to review games occasionally.

Tamara Jade @tamaaya.net · 2d

So I'll be building a new gaming PC soon and I was considering whether or not to avoid Windows now that it's been infested with "AI". What are the good alternatives for gaming? I was thinking maybe Arch or Mint, but happy to have other recommendations (I use Debian on my server, so I know Linux).

My ex-partner went today and she saw her rapist there. He's known to have raped at least two other women and he often goes to cons to creep on women.

Tamara Jade @tamaaya.net · 2d

(He’s probably not the only one, but I know for a fact he is one and he’s walking free at PAX and I also know a lot of people in the community give him a free pass despite him being a huge creep.)

Tamara Jade @tamaaya.net · 2d

I’m reliably informed that a known rapist is walking around at PAX so that’s neat.

So Apple released a firmware update for the Airpod Pro 3s that dramatically alters the sound signature. They got rid of the slightly too-sharp treble, but without eliminating the treble altogether, so they still sound better than the almost completely treble-free APP2s.
