Born with a rocket launcher in my hand, strafe and rocket jumping through life. Running LANs and fragging gamers is in my blood. So many great games. Own and operate LANified!

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

@matrix.org the limitations of the free pricing level is completely fucking stupid!!! You're going to kill the public ecosystem here!!! You haven't even posted pricing details at all and we're getting a week and a half's notice??? That's completely fucking stupid!!!

SMH Fix this before it explodes.

Hey livewire... Do you really think this amount of advertising makes me want to STAY on your website?

I can only see 30% of the page...

I'm leaving.

Quake 1 is the best game ever made. Yes that includes games that aren't video games.

Listen to the soundtrack before and during playing the game.

And if you get the impression "it doesn't look good" keep in mind that there's ways to easily make it burn your GPU and be worth it

Here's something that's going to rub sports fans the wrong way...

A person isn't defined by the team they cheer for. They are defined by their own actions, inactoons, and words.

Not by the players on a team they're cheering for, in a game they don't even bother participating in themselves.

"I care about you".

Be brave and say this to people in your life that you care about.

Trust me, it's so worth it.

Today:

It's as if most people didn't read the release notes on Snow and it's a suddenly shocking release they've made no preparations for.

Fools, enjoy the ditches.

Okay well that was a fun weekend LAN party. Like 50 people in a community hall Friday to Sunday! 😎

Heading to a 3 day LAN party later today. Driving like 3 hours through loads of snow to get there.

Excited and worth it! Yes I just got new tires, no they're not all seasons.

You're going to be waiting a long time. USB-A is over 20 years old. USB-C is probably going to last 100 years.
I’m waiting until every hotel and bus has upgraded their built-in chargers to USB-C to smugly release my design for USB-D.

Since I've solved my 3d printing issues I'm back to being drunk on printing super neat stuff.

Currently printing a few zip tie variants. Hehehe, you can't stop me!

So I figured out a way to 2x-3x the performance on my Dell R720 proxmox compute node. Things are hugely faster now!

Probably going to publish on the topic at BloodyIron.ca

7 day Reddit suspension for harassment.

I haven't sent a direct message to anyone in months. I reviewed my comments for the last while and none of them are harassment (trying to be my own Devil's advocate).

Admins won't tell me what I did despite pointing out I can't fix what I don't know.

Anyone else get Reddit admin punishment out of nowhere? Appealing with them but considering quitting Reddit fully. Pretty fed up with the ecosystem.

3d printing is a tricky beast sometimes.

I may have just solved a bed wobbling issue I've had the whole (almost) 2 years I've had this printer just by loosening and retightening the bolts holding the aluminium rails to the chassis!

Here's hoping! Testing now 🥵🥵🥵

Kudos to Mike Tyson for standing after 8 rounds.

Sure but only on a third party controller IMO.
Jake Paul should have to fight all of these guys before he gets to fight Tyson.
