I hope everyone is physically prepared for this Winter Storm, but now it's time to mentally prepare for Canadians to tell us we don't even know what cold is.

I spent six years living in a falling apart hunting shack in northern Wisconsin with a living room window that overlooked Lake Superior.

One of my favorite things about being there was watching storms roll in across the lake.

Extremely lucky to get this shot by waiting for the lightning to start and repeatedly mashing the shutter button.

So, I'm finding out the hard way that if you start a new Mastodon server, nobody can find you.

This is a shameless request for some boosts so some of the bigger instances see me.

I broke a key off my keyboard yesterday.

I lost control.

I just walked into my local public library with a curiosity and walked out with a bag full of books to satisfy it.

And they say magic isn't real?

"Google is highly concerned about accuracy, and one executive explicitly said that the AI 'can make stuff up' when it’s not sure, while bias and toxic language are other issues."

With obvious caveats, could it be that much worse than searching for help only to be served an #SEO'ed SERP that's primarily garbage? So many G tools could be enhanced. #news #content #search

Now that all three kids are home for the holidays, the silverware is disappearing at an unsustainable rate. What do they do with it? Sell it for drugs? All I want is a spoon. It’s my house. Why can’t I have one spoon in my own house?

I'm sharing my Facebook page on Mastodon and my Mastodon page on Facebook, just because it will make Elon Musk extremely mad x

We are living in a gaming era where there are 1000s of Tod Rogers out there. I'm not going to name any streamers, but I think we all know a streamer who almost certainly cheats. Cheating by itself isn't exactly a huge crime or sin, but doing it for fame and fortune on Twitch does seem a fair bit worse than simply doing it to beat your friends, a lot like Tod Rogers.

What are your thoughts on this?

I've realised that there is a top I cannot wear when playing games. I've had a handful of electric shocks from my headset strong enough to hurt and to reset the joypad.

I suspect this may even have fried a Turtle Beach pad too...

Any tips anyone? I know I cannot wear that top anymore. But I'm starting to flinch every time I touch my headsets now 😨 and I don't want to fry any more pads.

I don’t see these Track Hawks in the UK often, specially not round these parts! Anyway, I know it is an old dinosaur… but I do like them.

I think Valve has done more for Linux gaming in 2022 than pretty much any company has ever done before. Linux gaming is alive and kicking and it has a very bright future. Props to System76 for also making it super easy to game on Linux.
