I use Bluesky all the time, and I barely ever see corporate brand stuff.

My actual gripe about Bluesky is that somehow they haven’t dropped an iPad app after four years. Or at the very least fixed issues with their iPhone app while using an iPad.

I wish DDG defaulted to their no ai search.

If they want to make silly little jokes about “the other guys and their ai” then maybe don’t use ai shit as your default search option on your own platform?

And still Control Center will survive somehow like an undead cockroach.

I just got off a three hour Splatoon Raiders session with my brother. It’s so fun.

The game keeps throwing xp and items and upgrades at you your brain keeps getting that drip feed of dopamine.

I have always enjoyed the single player Splatoon stuff and Salmon Run more than the PvP simply because I’m not super great at the PVP so this is right up my alley.

I’m also happy to report that at least in this multiplayer season we had zero issues with lag or garbled mics over gamechat. It all just worked perfectly.

Some real “hotdog suit guy” shit going on with NVIDIA of all people say ram is too expensive.

This one looks awesome. All three sets they showed today seemed really cool.

So 1.5 trips to the grocery store.

So the price of a Steam Machine (that runs as well as a six year old PS5)?

I appreciate the article points out AppleTV as being the only one without ads at this point. They also have great shows and the fidelity of the video is good.

Tim Cook sucks at this point, but who ever is running the TV business is doing a good job.

Depending on your steam machine you get, it might have empty slots. I think one of the interviews said some will have a single stick of 16 and some two sticks of 8 just because the stock for RAM is so dumb they are taking what they can get.

My favorite is when outlook pops up a meeting notification about five minutes into the meeting after I’m already in the meeting.

I just want them to take a few minutes and make an iPad app because the default app running on iPad sucks shit.

“Texas hurt itself in its confusion.”

Best I can do is spin up 20 agents to barely get some basic functionality written.

They are certainly more expensive, but it’s a “buy once cry once” type of thing. You pay a little more but the box works SO MUCH better and for longer than the cheap junk that’ll show you a bunch of ads.

I have two of them at this point and zero regrets.

I definitely think it’s “linux brain” that exists around here to a degree. You can see it on any given thread that talks about…well…anything technical. “Just download Linux!” they’ll say. And I say this as someone who LIKES Linux. I have it on two of my pcs (and I have a Mac and iPhone/iPad, etc. as well). It’s great. But there’s a zealotry around here around it.

That said, it’s not hard to dislike Apple right now. I’m pretty mad at them for cozying up to trump all the time. I’m glad Cook will not be leading Apple soon (though I wish he’d just leave outright. He’ll still be at the company). But it’s hard to deny the hardware is great and the software is generally good and generally works well.

But Lemmy is certainly a niche population of nerds. And that’s fine! It’s great! But a lot of those nerds seem to love the “console wars”-type mentality of “MY thing is the best and anything else is bad.”

People love to hate Apple, and that’s fine (Tim Cook sucks ass), but the AppleTV is honestly the best streamer and you can’t change my mind.

Zero ads on the Home Screen, and even the first gen 4K box that came out 8 years ago is still fast as hell and getting updates.

I know this because I had one in my closet and just took it out the other day when setting up a TV in my bedroom. It downloaded updates and is now rocking and rolling again.

Also, what human being has ever said “prewritten software” to describe a video game or an office suite you can buy at Best Buy?

AI;DR

Someone needs to sit this guy down with some crayons and be like, “the alligator wants to eat the bigger number. Do you now understand why you can’t afford this?”
