  • Drop has kinda gone to shit anyways. Though I have gotten some good headphones off them. But I ordered a set of wood IEM’s back in January. Got and update like a month later that the supply chain got messed up, will ship in June. Current order status is “Reserved for shipment. Estimated ship date: July 10”. So like a week ago. And all the emails from them lately have been

    “Check out these amazing keycaps!11!1!”

    “Hey look, we got more keycaps!!!”

    “Limited time only super-special keycaps!”

    “Hey, you looking for some keycaps?!”

    It’s not what it used to be, just like everything else on the internet.







  • I game at 3440x1440 ultrawide, and upgraded from a 3090 to 4090. 4090 is significantly faster and smoother. And DLSS3 frame interpolation is no joke- in Hogwarts Legacy with every setting cranked up and max ray tracing, turning on DLSS3 jumped me from around 80fps with noticeable 1% low stutters and now pegs it at the 144fps limiter I set in game. Smooth as butter.

    Also I mess around with some AI things like stable diffusion, and it’s much faster for that as well. As much as I hate the term “future proof”, the 4090 is more worth it in that regards, IMO.



  • I’ve always loved anything Star Wars that didn’t really involve Jedi. The universe is incredibly diverse and interesting, and cutting out the light side vs dark side trope most star wars content is centered on lets writers make really interesting characters and situations. Like in Mandandolrian the scene with Bill Burr confronting the Imperial officer that spearheaded the Burning Khan massacre was just fantastic, regardless of it being star wars.


  • Kbin seems to be pretty ambitious in that it’s aiming at being a hub for (almost) all of the fediverse. So Lemmy’s reddit-like forums, mastodon’s quick posts a la Twitter, and peertube’s youtube - style services - it’s looking to bring all of those fediverse platforms so they’re all accessible in one place rather than having to sign up for each. That way it’s an easy place to go to for your decentralized social media content. So really it’s just looking to make the fediverse more easily accessible and improve the user’s experience.

    It’s a pretty big idea and it’s pretty damn impressive what Ernest accomplished before this big fediverse boom. I’m excited to see where it goes.
