  • The level of censorship is going to be different depending on your instance and where you are posting to. A lot of instances are managed by individuals or small teams out of passion. They can do as they please and don’t have to pander to everyone for commercial appeal like Reddit or Tumblr. If someone doesn’t like what they’re doing they can join a different instance or create their own.

    Instances can defederate from each other over these differences. A lot are defederated from the instance Exploding Heads because of their alt right content for example. From what I understand you can also report content to the administrators of your instance if it goes against their rules and I think they can remove it from appearing on your instance (or block the user that posted it). This isn’t going to stop it from appearing elsewhere.

    I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

    More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).






  • Valent is a KDE Connect Client for GTK desktops and I want to see if I can get it to work with my living room PC. It’s basically so I can use my phone as a mouse.

    I’m also reinstalling all my Starred Valley mods on my Steam Deck after I installed Bazzite GNOME on it. There’s about 50 I think and there’s a lot of dependencies that apparently prevent me from just downloading them all from my Nexus Mods download history page and raw dogging them into my mods folder.



  • Two - and I don’t mean this in a snarky or dismissive way - you might believe you’re good at reading emotions, while not being as good at it as you think. I don’t know you, so that could be way off base, but it’s definitely something worth having a think about.

    I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now since you commented this. I honestly think you might be right and it’s a kind of stunning realization for me.

    I feel like it’s really present in my romantic relationships. There’s a lot of times I awkwardly handled things or caused something to veer off in a bad direction. Even now I’m still really bad for asking people I date if they’re mad at me whenever they’re upset and I don’t know why for example
