I don't know what Deloitte charged for this non-sense report. But the guy behind the King James Programming Markov chain (kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com) can probably generate much funnier nonsense for a much lower price, and it wouldn't even require boiling the ocean.
Just an idea.

Mario Galaxy is so much better on my Steam Deck than it was on the Wii. Took me a bit to nail down a control scheme that works, but now that I have it's just a super fun game.

Awful news. Wes gets all the attention but Sam was vital to their sound. The first note most people heard from "Limp Bizkit" was the killer bass line to "Nookie."
R.I.P. Sam Rivers. Limp Bizkit shared that their founding bassist has died. Rivers was 48.

Every day after I have my first meeting, #Microsoft #Teams begs me to put their stupid #AI #Copilot in the sidebar.
If it were actually a good product, they would not have to work this hard to juice the usage stats. I can't wait for this bubble to pop so that these losers leave me alone.

This is a great guide!
If, like me, you're also into self hosting you can also check out meta search engine #SearXNG (github.com/searxng/sear...).
It's a fun project to set up and run as well as being at least as good as Duck Duck Go.

I really dislike the number of services that want me to get their app just so they can essentially send me e-mail.
Honestly, when I want info from you I should be able to go to your website. And when I want you to be able to send me info, I should give you my e-mail. The end.

How do people buy #DRM free #music these days?
I have been using 7digital(🇩🇪), but they don’t have any of the albums by #SleepToken.
So I need a new store.

I upgraded my #ollama model backing self hosted apps from #llama3.2 to #llama3.3. And while it’s definitely better, it’s way larger and therefore slower.
Hard to imagine use cases my just for fun stuff where these gains would be worth the extra compute costs to match the performance.

I really think it's stupid to charge fares for #PublicTransit. I have, and quite like, the #DeutschlandTicket. But, all the infrastructure in and around collecting fares, and chasing down people for fines is just a complete waste.
It's an insulting waste too as it only targets the poor.

“Two years ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter. I personally didn’t have a problem with that, because I’m a common sense centrist who nevertheless only writes about how much I agree with reactionary ideas.”
Pitch-perfect satire.

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically
They just… blocked me. Like I’m some kind of annoyance, rather than the iconoclastic and fascinating truth-teller which I know myself to be.

I merged this PR into one of my #selfhosted projects today and boy did it ever feel good.
I opened up the project because a dependency I was using got deprecated and the inspiration struck.

I filled in the #Mozilla survey and you should too. The sad thing is that of you like #Firefox and want them to focus on making a good browser instead of #AI bs, then like me you will need to select "Other" and write it in.

It's not as beefy as my #gamingpc but in many ways my #SteamDeck is my favourite way to game.
From suspend/resume to that amazing OLED screen, and more. I dream of a future world where the #SteamDeck 5 pis powerful enough to drive my 4K TV in docked mode and then that'll be all I need.
