I was about to say I ate the fucking onion on this one, and that is depressing as hell.

Based on this original game (dunno if you already knew that):

Original Marathon on Steam

Doom-like sci-fi "boomer shooter". Don't know much about the new one other than the neon jungle visuals from gameplay vids.

This is great! Good job on the form and eyes/wings. Some of my favorite media to work together at school were charcoal, water, and white gesso

I just switched to GrapheneOS myself -- and yeah I'm feeling the inconvenience. Having to do workarounds curretly to get RCS working (T-Mobile, AT&T), not having an option for tap-to-pay bc "Your operating system is insecure" 🙄) and Google/Apple/SamsungPay are your only options. Haven't tried adding any tickets or transit passes to see if they work with NFC yet.

In general I feel better finally having switched off stock android because in my friend group I'm the only digital privacy advocate and have been talking about doing it forever. However, as I continue to transfer to the new device, I notice more and more the number of apps that I use that are only available through the play store. Health and banking apps that are the only convenient way to use a service on mobile. Apps that are necessary if you travel a lot.

Basically it's incredibly hard to de-google if you're not in the apple ecosystem. I have one co-worker who has started "digital homesteading" (self-hosting) a lot of stuff for their family, and has discovered: it's an incredible amount of stuff we offload into the cloud. E-mail, photos, personal documents, calendar, health, finances, streaming media instead of owning it. Transitioning all of that remote convenience to an on-prem setup at home (or a cloud VPS I guess) is very possible with self-hosted alternatives. But, it requires a high level of technical knawledge and expertise AND now you're the IT person for all of that infrastructure.

"The AI hallucinated the brutality, your honor."

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, just because they're a dissident that speaks out often against authority who we clearly would like to silence doesn't mean the AI is biased in its assessment of their guilt."

 

Got here on Thursday, went out Friday and Snowmass was almost all straight ice. Then, Friday and Saturday night it snowed!! So got to ride some pow. Managed to do some black diamond/mogul runs which is a big level up for me

 

Got in a couple days at the 'Boat! Hadn't been back to Steamboat Springs in a minute. Heading to Aspen Snowmass this weekend--looks like some pow is forecasted... 🤞

 

Felt good to do something. This one was peaceful, but as has been observed many times before, peaceful protests don't often have the desired effect.

 

This was a fascinating and informative read. I hope the author makes progress on "creating an open-source project to de-cloud and debug smart home products"; I would love to contribute to something like that!
