  "Not a chance pal! Prepare to go to Hell!" The opening to Wing Commander: Privateer (1993) is so awesome! https://youtube.com/shorts/QgZsPoWp8r8 #gaming #videogames #wingcommander #privateer #wingcommanderprivateer #retro #retrogaming

  Sat down to play some games and record gameplay for my YouTube channel, but got happily distracted by all the wonderful discussions on the Fediverse about books, watches, movies, privacy and games. The Fediverse is awesome and it's because of all you awesome folks on the Fediverse! Thanks y'all. #mastodon #snac2 #fediverse #books #watches #privacy #games #youtube

  I continue to hope that what’s happening now will change the mindset of consumers from upgrading and buying new gear every cycle to keeping devices longer — and also repairing older devices to keep them running longer. We are at a point where technology is fast enough, big enough and good enough. Performance gains are marginal at best. Was last years iPhone really that much better than this years? Nope. Do regular consumers really need to upgrade their MacBook Airs to get a M5 chip? Nope. http...

  If they want to use the "Gigafactories" postfix, lets at least make them honest: Earth Destroying Gigafactories. https://tldr.nettime.org/users/tante/statuses/117008662026532827

  Finally, what looks to be a good adaptation of Green Laterns. I am a fan of Green Lantern, but all I have to watch on the screen is Ryan Reynolds' version (meh) and Nathan Fillion's version (less meh). Now we get Kyle Chandler as what looks to be a weary and tired (and sarcastic) Hal Jordan -- already a win. And we get Aaron Pierre as a Green Lantern in training, John Stewart. If you haven't see Rebel Ridge (2023), it's well worth a watch, Pierre is absolutely fantastic in the m...

  snac2 + phanpy is an awesome combination! #phanpy works perfectly with #snac2 and phanpy can even be used as a PWA on iOS. Nice! If you want to give phanpy a try, I run an instance of it here. #fediverse #selfhost #selfhosted #selfhosting

  Aston Martin brought so many upgrades that they basically had a new car. They upgraded so much they have caught up with Cadillac by having a suspension failure. #f1 #formula1 #hungarygp

  “There could be no better Warmaster than Horus, but a man, even a primarch, is only as good as the counsel he receives, especially if he is utterly self-confident. He must be tempered and guided by those close to him.” -Horus Rising by Dan Abnett #books #quotes #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k

  This is why posting videos on YouTube will always only be a hobby for me. The amount of work put into actually making a video is insane -- recording game clips, editing and voice-over are hours of work -- and the pay off is minuscule. #youtube #youtuber #hobby

  Tonight's movie was Night of the Comet (1984). This was a random movie that auto-played on YouTube. It was campy enough that I watched it all the way through. Night of the Comet was fun in an 80s kind of way with some great music. I really like how they were able to achieve a few scenes of what would be a bustling cityscape shown completely empty and barren -- like how 28 Days Later looked. A minor complaint is that there weren't enough zombies. Big 80s hair ftw. Chakotay vs. Zombies...

  The broader report claims that companies that were previously quick to embrace AI spending are now starting to see enormous costs without necessarily getting any material return. Recently, Uber's chief exec claimed there was no link between AI 'tokenmaxxing' and shipping useful products. It's a phenomenon perhaps most keenly reported at Amazon, where employees are said to have been caught inflating AI token consumption to meet internal targets. In fact, a Financial Times report o...

  After three months and 1.6k posts later on snac, I'm super happy. Main things that I like about running snac for my Fediverse presence: Light on resources. I can run this on a potato if I wanted and it would run great (I'm not, but I could.)Backups are easy. Tar up the directory. Done.Migrations are easy. Install nginx, build snac, untar backup. Done.Quirky web interface. It takes a little to get used to it, but it is very functional and it's got character. I thought I would use Pha...

  Good riddance Sora. "OpenAI said it will discontinue Sora, the generative-AI video creation app it launched last year, without providing a reason for the decision." I mean it's pretty clear why OpenAI shut down Sora. "So just how much money is OpenAI dumping on this firehose of imbecilic video? More than $5 billion annualized, or around $15 million per day, according to Forbes estimates and conversations with experts. When Bill Peebles, OpenAI’s head of Sora, observed on Oc...
