- Comment on Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases 6 minutes ago:
For me, I didn’t have the mental energy. At a previous job, I was so mentally strained working 8 hours nonstop on highly mentally taxing tasks that even if I wanted to play a game, it felt like a chore rather than something I can enjoy or wind down to. Even if I had the time, since I do other stuff outside of work.
The strange thing is, when I work I have the money but not the time nor energy to justify buying games to sink time into. When I don’t work I have the time and energy but not the money to justify paying $80-$100 on a game I probably won’t play as much as I think otherwise.
I’ve in recent years looking more into reviews and such to weigh in whether or not I want to buy the game in the first place. Compare that to years prior when I could look at a trailer or short snippet and get a good idea of what the game has to offer. Now I’m more weary of grindy game mechanics and predatory micro transactions.

Interesting how all those who are listed are people who AI is targeting: people who don’t understand AI.
- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 2 weeks ago:
The same way you have a lock on your front door “just in case”. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 2 months ago:
Personally, I’d say no. At that point you are administering it, not hosting it yourself.

Agreed. But it’s a good intermediate step.

- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 4 months ago:
Yeah this is the idea. Personally I think charging needs more emphasis on at-work and apartment charging because if you don’t live at a house, you essentially rely on public charging which isn’t good for the battery.
Also more hotels should have charging. Have no to drive 15 minutes away just to charge is annoying.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 5 months ago:
The only issue I’ve had was when Immich doesn’t have enough memory. Immich is a memory hog and will slowly creep up its memory usage over time. Eventually it’ll crash and restart itself. Docker still shows it running, but the server its elf cannot be connected to.
It sounds like it might be related to this.
- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 5 months ago:
You can’t built it yourself but you can download it and run it locally on your machine without it interacting to any server.
There is a community-driven project aimed at making a fully reproducible version called Open-R1. You can find it at https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1.
- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 5 months ago:
It’s semi-open, not fully open source as what is typically thought of.
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 5 months ago:
I usually use a dehydrator for ~3 days on my drives to make them sell stable. So far I haven’t had any issues.
