Tangent: maybe we should classify FPS by more vectors, such as progression of gunplay (Doom 2016 is a masterpiece there, Titanfall 2 a failure), strength of story (most military-themed FPS are cringe-fests in terms of story), Lore/Tech (Bioshock's Steampunk theme always turned me off, for example), suspense (Prey excels there, COD bores) ... and many more.

This way, we might actually find decent FPS that each of us enjoy based on our tastes. <3

Oh. Nobody mentioned "Rolo Tomassi" yet! One of my all-time favorites. Saw them live, too. A 1.50m petite lead singer with a voice from Hell. Love them so hard!

Have the same issue with them. I recently churned from Kagi after being a paying Pro customer. 10,-/month is simply too much. I'm paying for email (1,-/month) and web hosting (1,-/month) and web search should be in that price range to make it an attractive offer for people.

I wrote to Kagi saying as much when I churned (also criticizing that most of their changelog messages are about LLM updates for "Ultimate" customers), but they responded saying that they believe in their offer and that the trajectory of new users signing up gives them confidence.

I am, however, not willing to shell out Streaming Service level pricing (services that stream hundreds of GB to me every month) for some web searches.

As much as it pains me due to Brave being involved in the whole crypto scam business and their CEO apparently being another a**hole tech fascist, I am using Brave Search for now. Its results were not inferior when I compared them to Kagi and I don't need 95% of all the extra fluff that Kagi offers.

As soon as there's an offer for private search results with their own index that is not censored nor ad-driven, that company (maybe Kagi!) will have my money. But it needs to be commodity-priced like mail or hosting.

Maybe I have bad Wedding karma? Why Yes, I'm divorced myself. 😆

Hard +1. Physically violent and later sexually abusive priests working in my private Catholic school.

I've switched fully to a 3" Unihertz Jelly Star in September. It took A LOT of customization to get it to become the "Intent" device that I had wanted it to be. But by now, it makes all unwanted behavior sufficiently difficult while allowing all modern conveniences such as IM, payments, tickets, navigation etc.

I'll do a proper blogpost series about it some day.

If consuming content is how you want to spend your energy & lifetime, then the bigger & brighter & more-HDR-than-life the better. I hope you find happiness. But if you at some point tire of not-creating and cannot stand spending your time as a targeted money-sack, then tiny phones are a good way out.

1. Fist fight between the two families in the evening. Marriage annulled within 2 days.

2. Father-In-Law (divorced) giving a drunken speech about how marriage is a mistake, followed by his ex-wife / mother-in-law giving a drunken speech about how marriage is a mistake and how the bride is not good enough for her son. Divorced within a few years.

Meine Spende hätten sie.

Bought my 1st SteamDeck on a whim after a friend showed me. Had a big gaming rig back then. Within 2 months the rig ceased to get any use. Now I'm on a 2TB OLED SteamDeck with custom triggers and regret nothing, My kids play on my older Deck. Best gaming hardware I've ever owned (ref: C-64 was my first).

Dieses Blatt hat es nicht mehr verdient als Quelle zitiert zu werden seit sie eine Ausgabe mit dem Doppelseiten Feature "Für & Wider Seenot Rettung" hatten.

Hier ist schon seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr qualitativer Journalismus, sondern polarisierende Meinungsmache die treibende Kraft.
