bringing “in-air” gestures to airpods

I can’t wait for stories of people brushing their hair away and the earbuds take that as a sign to raise the volume too high or something equally dumb to happen because they won’t be able to differentiate between a normal gesture meant for it and something not meant for it.

Gesture controls are cool, but what happens if they are too sensitive to movement or think gesture xyz is the same as gesture zyx?

I don’t think there’s any meta progression as far as I’m aware, but I find Shattered Pixel Dungeon (available on both android and ios) to be a low stress enough game. I suck at it, so I’ve never gotten much further than the first boss fight, but the game is about running through randomly generated dungeons, going down floor by floor as one of 4 different characters.

Depending on how big the game is, I will definitely have to buy some CDs and burn the game to play it on my Dreamcast. Otherwise it’s going straight to an emulator.

Last night for $4.99 and $2.99 I got Worms W.M.D. and Worms Armageddon on Steam since I haven’t played any worms games outside of Worms 2: Armageddon on xbox360.

Tried Armageddon last night and it was pretty fun. Only gripe I have with it is that I had to plug in a mouse and keyboard to my deck dock.

Have yet to try W.M.D. yet and don’t know if it has an offline singleplayer player vs computer mode, but I’ve seen enough videos of people playing it for me to think I’d have a good time playing it.

I am one of those people who thinks it’s just creepy regardless of the situation for someone to want to willingly buy used hygiene products. The people selling their used hygiene products, weird, but not creepy in my mind like the buyers.

Headlines like this really make me question how many critically online creeps who probably have never seen a singlular woman besides their mom before are out there buying this kinda stuff.

I don’t know how must have it is, but I’ve been enjoying Isles of Sea and Sky, a sokoban type puzzle game currently 10% off until July 11th (currently $17.99). I’m pretty sure it’s maybe a month or two old at least.

The way I see AI being implemented into Firefox, regardless of whether it’s gonna be opt-in or out in the future is that they need to keep up with the latest browser trends in the future. If they don’t, they will definitely lose more of whatever probably small amount of remaining normies who don’t use edge or chrome but instead opt for Firefox. They’re not tech literate enough to see a conveniently placed ad telling them that xyz browser now uses AI security features and Firefox doesn’t and discern the fact that it’s a ploy to get them to switch. We need more normies if we really want a chance to keep Firefox more than just treadingn water, and the best way is to offer more random bullshit of the week to keep them from switching to a competitor.

Well, here’s the part where I hope people are able to make a Wikipedia alternative so we can turn Wikipedia into a cesspool to ensure the enshitification of gøøg|e. That, and if I ever get a Wikipedia article made about me (which will probably never happen), I’m signing up with an account and absolutely trashing it to say things that will cause whatever any AI looking at it to spout the most absurd shit.

I’m a firm believer that regardless of operating system that a warning message saying that installing something could cause harm to your device definitely makes people think twice about installation if they’re not tech savvy (AKA know more than the bare minimum anymore). It’s definitely intentional that the large companies responsible scare you away from doing the things you want because they want you locked into doing things the way they want.

Out of all the games that I know for sure that have a native Linux port, I’m either going with Minetest, which I have been playing for Voxel Libre (once Mineclone2), or the Sonic Robo Blast 2 with the Reveries mod, despite not knowing what exactly it changes. They’re the 2 games I know have a native port that I’ve been playing the most recently.

Similar way is how I ended up finding out about Mindustry. Found it on F-Droid and liked it enough to buy it on Steam when I found out it’s available there. Definitely a good idea if done right.

I’d love to see them try to run it on a Flipper Zero. Theoretically you could maybe make it work. Should you? Absolutely not, but I wanna see it.

It really is a massive W for Firefox, knowing that despite the security risks that are probably manufactured by gøøg|e on purpose to justify manifest v3, that they’re still gonnaet v3 extensions use the web request API. Let’s hope they keep that up for as long as possible.

Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn’t go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.

I’m calling it now:

In other news Adobe forced to pay 0.001% if what they earn every day from subscriptions and still find loopholes allowing them to continue business as usual, with the US government sticking their thumbs up their ass because they can’t make an example of Adobe too soon or the bribes… I mean donations from lobbyists representing large companies will dry up.

Can’t be spoiled if you’re already confused

If you connect it to the Internet then sure it can be easily harvested by large companies. Pretty sure you can host an offline AI in a device you have made sure the hardware isn’t gonna be phoning home and it’ll probably be fairly safe if you aren’t an idiot like me and actually know what you’re doing.

It’s not too old, released in 2017, but after over a year of being in my steam library I just installed Yooka-Laylee on my deck and got through the tutorial. So far it’s a really fun game.

The way I thought of that, as someone with a special brain (autism) is that rather than just knowing things like experience and what they use/like/dislike/etcetera, it’s also good to know a breakdown of what groups of people are using Linux/answered the survey. At least there was an “I’d rather not say” kind of option in case you don’t wanna give up that information.
