- Comment on Comcast is simplifying its Xfinity internet plans and dropping data caps 2 weeks ago:
As a (begrudging) customer this sounds good on paper. But I’m suspicious as hell
- Comment on Unplatform: The definitive guide for escaping social media (and joining the indie web. 5 months ago:
This is superb. My wife has been fediverse-curious ever since the election, and last night she created a Pixelfed account and was so disappointed her feed wasn’t immediately filled with cool stuff. I tried to explain some of the points in this guide but I don’t know if I did the most convincing job.
I’ll send this her way and see what she thinks
- Comment on The State of Steam Deck survey 2024: The results are in 6 months ago:
Fights in Tight Places looks pretty fun. I’m a big deckbuilder fan, so always enjoy a new one. but that does make me wonder how Tainted Grail: Conquest runs because I really found that one to be a lot of fun. And also reminds me that before I buy a new deckbuilder I should probably play that Balatro game everyone talks about…

Weird to discover I’m in the minority for trusting the verification check marks. Sure, I’ve played games without a check on Deck, but I usually use the check to determine how smooth and enjoyable the experience will be.
I’ve realized I just prefer mouse and keyboard so much that I don’t find the deck as enjoyable as others. I still love it, but the number of games I’m interested in playing on it are very limited. So the check is helpful to know how comfy the game will be.
I don’t want to waste any time setting a game up or fixing issues on Deck. It’s just not what I bought the device for.
That being said, any recommendations for smooth, put-of-the-box games on the Deck that didn’t appear in the top 10?
- Comment on Microsoft confirms its Paint 3D app is being discontinued in November 10 months ago:
A shame because I actually use Paimt3D quite a bit for editing images quick and dirty. Hopefully some of the features make it to Paint before long
Microsoft has now put most of its focus on the existing Paint app within Windows 11 instead, adding some of Photoshop’s best features to the app and even updating it with AI-powered features.
Oh. AI features. Grand.
- Comment on Slack Will Begin Deleting Older Content From Free Workspaces 1 year ago:
Kind of wild that in the face of competition from Discord they double down on their paid plans. I would have thought they would eventually improve their free offerings to compete for market share, but clearly they have no interest in supporting hobby groups and just want to focus on enterprise
