Hopefully google learned from the nightmare that PWA were, specifically with websites taking advantage of the features to spam you with shit if you make the tiniest mistake when giving them permissions.

Ruffy and the riverside

Ending is a little off, but overall an enjoyable simple platformer.

Little fighter 2 just got a "remaster" released on steam. It has always been a blast. But it might be up to 4 local coop only.

Despite all the negativity online, I'm moving from my pixel 6 to this one, even though my current phone works just fine.

I'm going to see a few noticeable improvements and believe it or not I'm glad they're finally adding useful AI things.

Still waiting for a watch that will have ok battery life. I'm using a garmin forerunner to help training and the training focus+battery life is a no brainer for me. Still miss having a really smart watch instead of an "intelligent training watch" though.

Coincidentally, this point of view is probably wht this is one of the best things I heard from brian eno:

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.

I have a few things in my reading backlog about bullshit. I think that it tends to be trivialized in social discurse. It honestly feels like the patterns of bullshit exploit built in biases we have.

This is my future starting point for when I leave some room to this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

Is this "experienced devs" or "incoherent ramblings from a teenager"?
