I am a little bit envious, as I look at some of the website design of fellow fediverse people.I really want to do some retro looking stuff, like what I used to look at in the 90s. Nothing flashy (hehehe, pun intended), so no moving background, and unreadable texts. But something nice that would remind ourselves that the web was used to be much more simple, and surprisingly better.Better as I didn't have fought with opened sites, cause we now use pretty much useless webtech instead of much more simple stuff. Every company site has to be so complex even, if it's just sells some simple things. Oh and it has to have a "blog", for SEO purposes, because if we don't add content to it, Google forgets about us, for some reason.Oh, Google, the company that neglected its prime product (outside of ads, which is now just "aids"), namely the search. I haven't used it for a while, but search on the web in general turned to shit. If I have a problem I better use some enstablished website or wiki, otherwise search simple can't find it. AI articles are here, I already saw them, during my search. Basically an article with long paragraphs, repeated keyboard dumping, but much more intelligent than the past decades of "we just dump phrases here and there, so Google finds us" thing. Finding solutions to problems is really hard for me.I am tired of the web, after 25+ years of using this thing, I am on the edge of not using it anymore, more than I have to. My older older brother said to me that I was born in the internet and computer age, but I look at how my nephew handles computers and tech, and I don't understand half of it now. Also the same brother handles his business with his smartphone, meanwhile I still have the same dumbphone for almost 10 years! I think I am just tired. I didn't expect hoverboards and other tech shit, but I think we are going into the wrong directions. We as a species becoming lazy, and instead of tech helping us, it is slowly (or not so slowly tbh) taking over our lives in a way that might not be reversable. For god sake, Wall-E was a warning, not a manual! (never mind Brave New World, but that's another post)Sorry for this long post, probably should have been a blog, but I just wanted to finish(?) my thought of this. Still rambling, as I can't seem to find the bed behind me.Is human tech hopeless? (good title for a post, I guess)

@caekislove Have you heard about Singularity? Now that's a nice game! (Raven Software's last game, before they become glorified CoD team)

Modern gaming in a few sentence. Can we get back to silent protagonists?

I wonder if the AI, from the movie “Her” is far away or not?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyrhmVSKwxENot that I am interested… although probably it would be easier to talk to a fantasy person, that a real one…#ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Replika #relationships #Her

The new site design is coming this week. Partly inspired by the old Wordperfect colors. I wanted something that is not really the usual colorwise, these days. I still have to finalize the menu design, but I will release the new stuff anyway, since the menu is functional. I hope that I can write more, which I just couldn’t really find the motivation these days. Maybe I should start 100 days to offload and force myself to write regularly? Maybe….

I wonder how non-creative people (aka regular 8 hour job) doing this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXXs9JC_ItQIt’s an interesting idea, to braindump yourself to paper.#mentalhealth #MorningPages #writing

Hope the devs fixes the problem, I think AppImage is the most sane of the 3 format currently we have (Snap and Flatpak is not really for me, looks overly complicated).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaYZqc7LuagI have 2,5 GB of programs in my Applications directory. I use them regularly.

This is why aliens will never visited us:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTwU-JtBFgY“Let’s skip to the next system!”And yes, it’s one way.But we live in a patriarchy, right? This is madness, and makes no sense.🤡

@Linux_in_a_Bit Funny, I just looked at that one. It’s 25% off on amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Casio-PRG-270-1-Triple-Multifunction-Digital/dp/B00ENCRBO4/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1OXRC2I1Z4NKD&keywords=casio+WS2000H-1AV&qid=1678640878&sprefix=casio+ws2000h-1av%2Caps%2C375&sr=8-11Just an option though. My problem with the WS2000 is that it’s not really water resistant.

This is way too bright for my taste. I wonder if older games with RTX is just meh, and totally ruined the atmosphere…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MadEFs0OSp4#quake2 #rtx #games #fps

Somebody is streaming RE2r (where I got banned on twitch last time). I wanted to send this joke, but I didn’t want to get banned:context: (fat zombie bursting through a door, seamingly much faster than a living fat person)“that fat zombie was awefully fast. LUL maybe all the walking around does help losing weight.”Do you think this joke is good? Or so called problematic joke? I hate this current, sensitive generation…

@rolle Except the internet already died. What we are using now is the 3rd or 4th version of it really, and has no similarities to the original 90s web, or very little.Mastodon itself while never die, it will never take off either. It has so many problems, because the devs are just handholding everybody via software. It’s crap!
