  • Idk but iTunes for Windows has never not been shit. When I recently switched back to iOS from Android I found copytrans. I can’t speak to how secure it is, but it has done a great job of putting all the music I own onto my iPhone.

    I like it more than using Apple Music on a Mac for doing the transfer because the last time I tried that, Apple tried to tell me I didn’t have the rights to listen to a song that I literally sang and recorded.

  • It’s a tale as old as Capitalism. People who geek out about something do it because they enjoy it, then somebody finds a way to improve distribution of their work and suddenly there’s a skyrocket in demand. Vultures swoop in and suck out whatever life might be left in their passionate work to make it profitable, and then all the passion is gone.

    “Tech bro” is the term used to describe those vultures. People who try to monetize the shit out of everything with an ounce of human soul in it. Passionate tech nerds are still out there, mostly in FOSS circles, some in hardware hobbyist circles building cool form factors for their own computers.

    Honestly, odds are you’ll find passion only in someone who’s not looking to monetize.

  • On a plane I’ll use my Airpods Pro 2. They have worked shockingly well for the Deck being a non-Apple product.

    I will say though for seemingly no reason they don’t work with God of War Ragnarok. They work fine at first but after roughly a minute, everytime I launch the game, the audio starts to get glitchy and eventually just disappears entirely until I disconnect and reconnect, when it starts that cycle over. I can’t tell in any way why it happens but it happens everytime.

  • I played every beta of the Finals that I could get accepted into. It felt like what I wanted a new Battlefield game to be. The destructible floors and bridges made it so much fun to set up traps in ways no other game made it possible.

    Weirdly enough I have yet to install it since its full release. Still looks like the same amount of fun!

  • Sea of Thieves has definitely interested me but it looks like one of those games that gets better A) if you invest a lot of time into it and B) if you have friends who play it too all the time, and I already have big time sinks in my life and I suck at convincing my friends to play specific games with me

  • I got it to work on Bazzite after hours of research into understanding how to convince Steam to actually pass the HDR data between the game and my monitor. Then one day Bazzite just decided it didn’t want to recognize that my monitor was an HDR monitor. I haven’t felt like looking into it lately because the research I did spend hours doing led me to finding piecemeal information about how the underlying systems of Proton and gamescope work through the breadcrumbs of information I can find in Linux forums.

    I desperately want to enjoy using Linux but the lack of comprehensive documentation that appears relevant to a user’s situation makes it incredibly frustrating
