Mandatory mushroom selfie!*
(*Yep, I decided it doesn't need to be in Oregon, in a forest, or on a hike. I see any kind of wild mushrooms growing, I take a selfie with 'em.)
My career covering tech of any kind is over.
I've thought deeply about this for a couple of months.
If you swim in pollution, you get polluted.
My super power is telling stories, not telling people the news. And that's what I'm going to embrace from this day forward.
Finished "Into The Wild," several years after first seeing the film adaptation. If that film sparked your interest, you owe it to yourself to read the book. It dives pretty deeply into Chris McCandless' psyche, the impact he had on those he met, and other outdoor adventurers who experienced equally tragic ends.
I'm excited to start Steinbeck's "Travels With Charley: In Search of America" (which many of you recommended, thanks!), especially since I'm currently writing my own travelogue.

But that's not a realistic possibility for many, many people for a variety of reasons.
This one hits home for me, and is one of many things making it difficult to stay positive. But, I only share this to cause awareness, not to drag down your day.

Elsewhere on the Bazzite page:
"Use this form to get the correct ISO download link for your hardware and use case.
If you're already using a Fedora Atomic Desktop, you can rebase to Bazzite without reinstalling."
This is not how you appeal to a large audience. And I'm picking on Bazzite because I want it to continue growing, not because I'm feeling mean.

I'm hoping Nvidia's decision to develop a native Steam Deck app for GeForce NOW helps inspire other developers to do the same (but for Linux at large, obviously). Bring the content, users will follow.
Perhaps one of the reasons this feature floats under the radar has to do with how Bazzite markets itself. Unfortunately, it's the same issue that plagues most Linux projects.
When people go to Bazzite's homepage, this is the first sentence they see explaining the project:
"Bazzite is a cloud native image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops" 😴
WAY too much to digest there for the average game.

This is LUDICROUS. Can we normalize buying physical media again, please?

If you love the KDE Plasma desktop and don’t mind a little more distro fragmentation, I have good news and I have great news.

It occurs to me that perhaps we're paying WAY TOO MUCH for cloud storage.
These are *lifetime* prices for Filen, a service that's #opensource and headquartered in Germany. Barebones when it comes to features (and no 3rd party integrations) but you get what you pay for.
AI Playground is a free app from Intel designed for Core Ultra processors that will run LLMs and generative #AI locally. Intel says it's free and open source (but currently Windows only).
Just snagged this QR code from the stream if anyone wants to try it.
Damn, Intel is claiming Lunar Lake has the most powerful integrated graphics solution in the industry. 30% per-core performance improvement. 16^ faster than AMD and 68% faster than Qualcomm X1E-84-100.
If true, that's remarkable.
I was upset before. Now I'm furious.
