How do you use yours? I have a couple, and have never managed to figure out how to get them to pair properly to either my Mac or my Linux machine. I mean, they pair, but then I can’t really seem to use them for much.

- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 3 weeks ago:
I’m currently replaying Horizon: Zero Dawn on my wife’s old GTX 1060 machine. Yeah, it’s kinda janky at times, but it’s still a great game.

Also, people are less able to afford the hardware to truly make the most of AAA games.

There are two wolves in me, and I’m glad I came to this furry convention.
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 3 weeks ago:
I might look into Lidarr. Currently, I have a folder in SymcThing that my server monitors, so any audio I drop in there automatically gets moved to my Navidrome folder. It works well enough, but is a little clunky.
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 3 weeks ago:
Navidrome serving up my 200gb library from home, via Tailscale, and all it cost me was the music that I bought* over the years. Oh, and a fiver for Symfonium on my phone. But Feishin is free on my computers.
Then I worked out how to redirect it through the VPS I use for my website, and now I have my own streaming service. It’s pretty sweet.
_ *well, some of it…
- Comment on The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod 3 weeks ago:
iPods are still out there, and you can still buy parts to mod them. Mod a 6th gen iPod Classic with 500gb of flash storage and a new battery, and you need never worry about another music player. You can even wedge bluetooth into them now. And a USB-C connector.

Yeah, I make good use of the Hidden Posts section in the profile page on Voyager, every time the feed refreshes for no good reason.

Oh god, I’ve just remembered a time on holiday when he went to bite into a perfectly innocuous hamburger, and discovered a single slice of tomato. He was so outraged he threw up on his plate.
That was fun.

When my kid was four and refusing to go to bed, he once stood at the top of the stairs, holding tight to the stair gate, looked me dead in the eye, and shit himself.
On the one hand I was impressed with the show of superiority, but on the other, I did briefly consider having him adopted.
So yeah, I get it.

I keep it for Messenger and because sometimes I need to flog my old shit on Marketplace. But yeah, I’ve not posted on there regularly since 2019.
Meanwhile, I’m almost always on Mastodon and Lemmy.

That’s not Microsoft’s problem.
(I agree with you)
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 months ago:
I saw a thread the other day, something like “What low-level conspiracies do you genuinely believe”; to which someone replied that they believe that OpenAI is being speedrun to bankruptcy in order for Microsoft to buy their data centres for pennies on the dollar.
And yeah, it all kinda seems that could be a credible outcome, at which point MS will have a huge amount of equipment all ready to serve game streaming to people who can no longer afford to buy a home computer to do the same.
Is it going to happen? shrug
Could it? Absolutely.
