Pretty cool how my old iPod touch from over 10 years ago has nearly 3000 songs loaded up and there's no way for me to recover any of them

Radical idea for social media: we should be able to leave a like on other people's like actions. If somebody likes (or "favorites" in Mastodon parlance) my post, I should be able to express that I like that they liked what I had to say

We could continue giving each other back and forth likes until eventually two accounts bound together in reciprocal liking reach the like singularity

When I say I have been indulging these unsolicited algorithmic aggregations of my media library for far too long...

Here's one dated December 27th, 2011. Can't even tell which software made it.

My solution to hearing the neighbours' kids across the wall? Upgrade to 60 Watts.

They are going to learn every song by The Offspring, wether they like it or not. It's not my problem if your kids ain't all right.

Okay, but has anybody actually eaten a slice of the glue pizza? Don't knock it until you try it

Designing your own website, doing your own writing, editing your own images is counterculture

Downloading your own music, reading independent writers you like and being content using older technology is counterculture

Caring about everyday people is counterculture

I've accepted that streaming services like Hulu will never give me a simple playlist option so I could just load it with my favorite episodes from my favorite shows and let it run (and not have to constantly fucking select them).

I also reserve the right to be forever annoyed about this

Bootleg unlicensed games never died: They evolved into Steam Direct shovelware asset swaps.

Some people like making drama because they're bored. You have to recognize those kinds of people, remember that about them, and avoid them if possible (or as much as possible) if you don't wanna waste your time

Personal catch-phrase of the month: It's all just so exhausting™

buru5, 23 days ago to Nintendo

I have it on good authority that #Nintendo "Switch 2" (named the "Swipe") is a card-based console with a card reader built into the unit. The cards, once swiped, unlock access to: full games, wallpapers, avatars, DLC, and even apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. The Swipe will be released by the end of Q2 2025, alongside over 200 cards purchased separately in booster packs.

One of the neat things about this is that, if you still have old e-Reader cards, you can swipe them for fun extras.

Here's my #gaming #handheld collection!

The purple Game Boy Color was my first ever game system, followed by the purple #GBA and then the blue SP. The original DMG needs some repairs and replacement parts, it was a garage sale pickup years ago.

I use the #SteamDeck a lot nowadays, but I still try to make time for the #retro #handhelds. The mini #emulation handhelds can be a nice change of pace as well! Do you still like old school handhelds? Let me know!
