  • Steam Frame too much for you? Get a PlayStation VR 2 lol

    —

    in

    Bit of a quickie, but I’ve had multiple people ask me about PSVR2, given that I was an early adopter of both the headset itself (hell, I bought my PS5 for that purpose) and its PC VR support, and the price for the Steam Frame is pretty astronomical. It’s a bit weird because when I…

  • First impressions of my MacBook Air

    So, I finally did it. I got my MacBook Air. I went for 16GB because it was cheaper, and I want to dip my toe in before even thinking about committing to the Mac ecosystem. And so far, with the few days I’ve had it, it’s been really good, although with some big caveats. The…

  • You no longer need JavaScript (Lyra Rebane)

    I know the basics of HTML and CSS, but I didn’t realise just how insanely good it’s gotten lately. From a cursory glance both seem like “easy to use, hard to master” markup languages with the mastery being very rewarding. I’ve been thinking about making a “music talk” site with Hugo (from scratch) as an…

  • LLMs are bad decision helpers

    —

    in

    I want to preface this by saying I am not anti-AI/LLM, especially in the way it has manifested on social media. In fact, I’m highly critical of the movement due to how abusive the movement has gotten (especially on Bluesky and the FOSS community) and dismissive to information that contradicts their claims, and I do…

  • How Linux broke my backups

    in

    I try not to talk about Linux, but I have to admit, my past hyperfixation with and experiences using it may have given me plenty of stories to tell, especially now I’m done with Linux. It’s like I’ve got a bunch of cautionary tales. This will probably end up on the desktop Linux problems post…

  • I may have to reinstall Windows, and it’s my fault.

    in

    So, I’ve been having a weird issue with 1Password on Windows, lately. Whenever I try to enable passkey integration with Windows, it will automatically switch it off. I can’t even enable it in 1Password itself, either. It’s like Windows does not want it to be on at all. If it was a group policy, I’d…

    MacBook time So, I finally bit the bullet. I bought myself an M5 MacBook Air. Friends will be unsurprised, it’s been on the mind for a while. This is also my first proper Mac that I’ll be owning too – before this I relied a lot on Hackintosh since the early 2010s which for modern…

  • Eating a Lot of Apples (my Apple computing journey)

    —

    in

    I’ve been thinking about buying a MacBook lately. I don’t have a proper need for one at the moment, so I’m giving it time (well, as long as the AIpocalypse will let me 🫠), but I’ve been keeping an eye on it. The performance to price value (again, pre-AIpocalypse) is fucking wild and macOS genuinely…

  • An ideological split in the Linux desktop (LLMs)

    —

    in

    So, Linus Torvalds has come out and said that LLMs are just a tool, and that Linux is not considered to be an anti-AI project. This has caused anti-AI people to crash out on social media, down to making very embarrassing conspiracies about Linus Torvalds being “compromised” when really he seems to be a no-bullshit…
