Saw another article about Steam Deck that said "Proton-based Steam OS"

Come on, how hard is it to get this shit right multiple years after Steam Deck released.

I know, I know, it only annoys me because I've covered it all since before Proton was even a thing.

But, it feels like no matter the website, the editors are just not actually looking up what these terms they're writing actually mean. It's the attention to details that bother me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to load up my Proton-based SteamOS device to play same games 😆

This is pricey (and glass, really??), but I kind of love the idea: some benefits of a fitness tracker & smartphone for kids, w/o the smartphone. Plus a Tamagotchi!

My oldest kid is a bit young for something like this, but Internet access freaks me out—yet I’d love for them to be able to contact me if they need. Other options in this space are clunky/ugly, so it’s refreshing to see something this polished here.

Their Union is obviously not happy, and weren't even told about it. Ouch.

The online backlash to amuses me tremendously. I started building a similar open-source (non-AI, local only) thing for a month ago.

It would take screenshots and create a timeline video of your day. It also enabled searching across your past usage of the computer.

The inspiration was an open-source macOS app called "Rem" which does the same thing.

Ah well, I guess I'll abandon that then, as it's going to be seen as toxic thanks to .

@popey i think there’s a big difference between what you would do (and i assume open source?) that everyone could see and audit and see it’s entirely local, to one fed into an AI black box controlled by MSFT

I might need to book Friday the 5th off work, as I will likely be drinking heavily through the night as the votes come in!

Banning sex ed for under 9s is some of the weirdest nanny state shit I've ever seen out of the Tories. Like what problems was that even causing? How is this even an issue to be discussed?

It's amazing when the right decides it's had enough of nothing in particular happening and just manifests some new culture war front-line to drum up pitiful votes.

@mdiluz it's really fucking frustrating to see, i just don't understand how they think this kind of shit will win them any votes?!

Annoyingly just realised you can't mute a post someone else tags you in on Mastodon, only your own.

What. Annoying.
