Started playing Lost Judgment, interspersed with Baldur’s Gate 3 whenever I can play with my friend.

Ubuntu 9.04. Jaunty Jackelope in 2009. Started by dual booting my Windows laptop. XP mainstream support ended that year, and I didn’t want to upgrade to Vista, nor could my laptop handle 7.

Trying to finish FF7R and Intergrade in time for BG3.

Spongebob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. Wanted to play something silly and and stress-relieving. This fit the bill.

What build are you going for? I keep gravitating towards Skill because I love doing visceral attacks.

You’ve convinced me to start Hollow Knight next.

I agree about Kena, which I finished a couple months ago. I liked it, but IIRC I didn’t enjoy the parrying in particular, especially compared to Sekiro. Didn’t feel as polished.

My area is stuck with the illusion of choice between Comcast cable and AT&T DSL.

That’s wonderful news for Bountiful. Quite a $48m middle finger to these monopolies.

Thanks for the links!

Is his website in pure HTML? It’s got that 90s nostalgia.

The blog post talks about choosing a side, but the average user doesn’t have the know how or desire to move away from the default enshittifying web. The generation growing up with smartphones are fed targeted advertisements as a steady diet. To be fair, I see the kids just flipping through the obvious ads. But it’s harder to ignore when their favorite influencers are advertising stuff as part of a bit.

And for that reason I think we’re moving rapidly towards that dystopia we see in sci-fi movies and shows, like Wall-E.

That sounds about right, now that you’re jogging my memory. I have a 2007 a Sony laptop that I eventually wiped and installed Linux. Ran so much better than Windows.

In 2017 I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone, which ran circles around my laptop. Coupled with my laptop battery lasting about half an hour, I stopped using it.

I just googled how to rebuild laptop batteries. It never occurred to me it could be done.

Toggle VPN off, tied to my Work focus. One time I logged into work email while connected to a VPN. Freaked out my IT.

Back when smartphones had easily replaceable batteries, like the LG V10 I bought for my mom, I bought her a new battery after 3 years and it gave it new life.

Now, 10 years is on a different time frame. Personally, I would gauge the price of a replacement battery against how much I paid for the laptop. 10% maybe? Completely arbitrary. $20 replacement battery for a $200 used laptop.
