    Well there’s two different things that people who relate to this picture may want: either the nature or the solitude (sometimes both); for the second, part of the fantasy is that they would never have to deal with anyone.

    In reality what people want may be completely different, but the picture passes the message better.


  • As someone with no interest in predominantly NSFW games, it does bother me a bit that that is the most common type of game that show up for me unless I disable NSFW completely.

    But my problem is exclusively with the algorithm and not with those games. I’m surprised that in 2025 a 200+ hour rpg with one implied sex scene may get tagged with the same ‘NSFW’ category as a Sex Simulator type of game, with no way to hide one without also hiding the other.

    All itch.io had to do was create a “monetization-unfriendly” tag and aplly it to those games and hide them behind an opt-in toggle (with some proper notification for current users). They could even target their ads based on that toggle and get even happier advertisers with it.







  • Dropped Ubuntu because of snaps.

    Dropped Manjaro because updating anything on it was too annoying and potentially destructive if you didn’t read through every changelog.

    Currently on bluefin because everything is working smoothly on it. Also have a Bazzite setup which I’m not as happy with as I am with bluefin but not to the point of thinking of dropping it.








  • Search WAS good when it was a simple search. Sites were indexed by the search engine and if you searched for the words you wanted to find, the results would be exactly that. In that context, it worked perfectly.

    But the problem was that most people used search engines in a different way. They weren’t searching for specific content, but searching for answers to questions. And for that, search engines would only show results that had that same question and then you’d need to hope that the question had been answered.

    Over time, search engines kept shifting into trying to better support the questions and answers format, making the basic content search worse as a result. Where we are now, neither or them works too well. Google is now better at understanding what people are trying to search, but worse at finding it.

    AI is just expanding this with yet another layer: it might make Google better at understanding what you search and maybe even might be better at finding it than the engine is now, but it’ll add the ability to misinterpret the results too.

    Honestly I’d be pretty happy if I had a simple indexed search again.





    • Can my coffee maker make tea instead?

    That is a very good question and good on you for looking for healthier options for hot drinks. In short: yes, your coffee maker can make tea. For that you need to turn it upside down and toggle on the “use herbs” button.

    • I don’t see such a button.

    Ah, that’s a classic case of coffee makers not showing their buttons on the external side. You’ll need to open up the equipment and press the internal button with a screwdriver. Would you like some help opening it? I can make you a detailed guide about how to turn screws if you want.

    • I’ve opened it. There’s no button. There’s no sort of control of anything for different types of drinks.

    Ah, that narrows it down quite a bit. What you’ll need to do is buy several pieces of equipment and install a custom built module for turning coffee into tea. I can help you build a list of the most efficient parts to acquire for this. Would you like to start this project now?
