windows 11 needs hot corners, for example my long term kde and gnome use has trained myself that left-corner-cursor-smack opens the overview - you don’t even have to click. windows doesn’t do that and i would rather commit tax fraud than rewire my muscle memory

generative ai in it’s current state is an unoptimized parlor trick and i think it’s corporate stewards should’ve worked on it more. we should’ve had time to implement safeguards and regulations

but instead we got a short-term-value arms race

maybe i use too much wishful thinking but my high hopes for good uses for this technology get dampened every time i have to explain to someone that that video they sent me wasn’t real and was made by an ai content farm for ad revenue

bazzite seems cool, but my only concern is that the ‘immutable’/’atomic’ design probably means you can’t modify whatever the maintainers determine as “core” and thus are at their mercy for hardware support

but i also really don’t want to spend the time debloating a windows 11 iso just for games - which is all this install is going to be used for, i rarely use anything adobe makes and my school uses google docs for everything anyway

i would buy a steam deck or other dedicated pc handheld but i am brokeass

there HAS to be a word for the feeling of oncoming dread when you’re reading documentation and you underestimated what you got yourself into

rank the programming languages you use by how much of a punishment it would be if a court ordered someone to learn them and maintain something with them

i initially thought me being really good at rhythm heaven would mean those skills would transfer over to geometry dash, but as it turns out, no, it doesn’t

(although that also might be that i haven’t played geometry dash in like 2 years anyway lmao)

moms will religiously police the tv volume to be below 10 constantly and then plop down on the couch and load up a 400 decibel facebook video on their phone

finally got my hands on an actual gba - only issues are that the battery backplate is missing and the shoulder buttons are weirdly mushy-feeling

don't have any games, but since i am broke i’m going to get a flash cart
