I just booted into my #Windows partition for the first time in about 4 months. My intent was to test the difference in performance for Hogwart's Legacy between Windows 11 and Kubuntu.

OH MY GOD, I forgot how painfully and frustratingly slow Windows feels by comparison.

What a slog. Not even worth comparing. I'll let the professionals do it 😂

Long live #linux.

For years, I'm trying to find out whatever happened to the game "Virtually Board Snowboarding II" for the #Nokia N-Gage that was pushed hard as a launch title and then suddenly disappeared from all ads and press material after mid-2003 - never to be heard of again.

If someone knows anyone who worked on the game back then, please let me know!

Personally, I wish that the "code red" response that ChatGPT inspired at Google wasn't to launch a dozen AI products that their red teams and AI ethicists have warned them not to release, but to combat the tsunami of AI-generated SEO spam bullshit that's in the process of destroying their core product. Instead, they're blissfully launching new free tools to generate even more of it.

Not even 24h and I’ve fallen in love with my new #MacBookAir M2.. perfect size. Replaces my previous combination of iPad Pro M2 and iMac M1.
#Apple really made being productive my hobby.
