Has anyone who didn't get a Steam Machine in that first wave gotten notice that they can pick one up yet?
btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.
Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he made a “Free Palestine” speech on stage earlier this month
Are the Carolina Panthers jerseys A tier, or am I just so not used to seeing them that I’m giving them a pass?
The NFL app / Red Zone being down week 1 is an embodiment of where we are as a society.
It’s incredibly difficult to fathom just how fucking much $1.6 trillion dollars is.

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
Promoting genocide is a bright line. Here is the email I sent to support@1password.com and business@1password.com condemning their donation. I encourage you all to do the same. Full text is in the alt text, to make it easy to copy/paste and adapt to your own message.
Hey @1password.bsky.social, time to change course.
Installed BF6. Had to turn on secure boot. When I came back last night, I can’t boot into Windows. Disable secure boot, wipe the hard drive, and created a boot stick from my Linux distro. Whenever I try to execute that, I see the Windows logo for a few seconds and then this screen. Help
Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.
The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
Get a new device/app. Use it for 20 minutes. Immediately email the product team with 3 feature requests. I will not apologize for who I become when the ADHD brain kicks into full gear.
College freshman: "so how can I get everything in my room hooked up thru my router?" Me: <explains in great detail> CF: "Wow, you've done this before, huh?" Me: "Yeah I did the same thing when I started college... 21 years ago..." Fucking hell, what is time?!?

I so desperately miss human connection. Pandemic leading to remote work. Moving to a city where I don't know as many people. Having a kid, and less times to do things. Got to sit and chat with people about <SECRET THING> for 45 minutes this evening, and it was a delight.
I do not care what the current administration thinks about Dolly. Nobody ask them, please.
I purchased a Gerber Viper toilet today That’s a really aggressive name for something I’m gonna shit in
Started my night by reformatting my Mini PC with Linux so I could start setting up Docker containers. Ended my night by accidentally deleting my entire ebook library. 🙃
Loser behavior from a guy who’s clinging like a shriveled old barnacle to a sport he doesn’t actually care about in a desperate bid for relevance. Do not cede one inch to him or anyone who acts this way.
Much as I hate to give Kanter the time, nobody here will support him anyway. Sky players kept Tasha away from him
Let's say I was setting up a mini PC to run Docker containers for Calibre and Home Assistant. Maybe Jellyfin as well. What other thing(s) should I look into as well?
