If I rename Jade Empire.iso to Jade Empire.xiso macOS will helpfully rename it to Jade Empire.xiso.iso and turn on 'hide extensions' for that file for me. Thanks Apple! That's exactly what I wanted to happen /s

My first July 4th as an American citizen. Mixed feelings today. The 250th anniversary should have made my first Independence Day as an American an amazing experience.

I noticed that there is almost no footage of the Iran conflict. The newest I could find, is back in March. That stands in stark contrast to the coverage the Afghanistan and Iraq wars got almost daily. Where's all the footage of bombs flying through windows and armored vehicles exploding?

Reddit getting heavy handed with bans. I got a 1 week sub ban for suggesting the servicemen not getting a vaccine after kegsbreath removed the requirement was natural selection.

Struggling to get @stinkyox.bsky.social's Polybius running on my AYN Thor in GameHub. It's a pretty amazing bit of software and most of the indie Steam games I've tried so far run out of the box. Still lots of parameters to tweak so it's not game over yet. Heres a pic of BallisticNG as eye candy.

Ever wanted to jailbreak your Kindle to read other ebook formats but couldn't because your Kindle was running the latest firmware? Now is the time. A new jailbreak is out and it works perfectly on current Kindles. Go to kindlemodding.org and follow the very simple step by step before they patch it!

I caved. I just spent $65 on a mousemat. I don't even use a mouse! It was $44 but the tariffs and shipping pushed the price up to $65. I did a custom design for it. The media on the right side will all be actual size when printed. I can now retire my old smaller one.

Is it just me or is it really hard to keep up with all the conversations in all the channels in all the servers in discord? I'm new and still at the watch and learn phase of using it and it's like a never ending stream of messages!
