Toy Story 3.

EDIT: And to elaborate, the movie showed a conclusion to a longer narrative thread of Andy growing up and his toys needing a new home. There was a satisfying ending.

I have been thinking of buying an used tablet or hybrid device (Microsoft Surface and others) and installing that OS to it.

Randy Pitchford being a walking PR problem and a condescending prick towards gamers isn't really helping the situation. He alone doesn't want me to play any of the games in the series.

Exactly, and learning some history is a must before making downright ridiculous statements.

Enderal and Tetris 99

I don't remember that concept being talked about in the book.

That QAnon book is really great, I read it a few months ago. The book gives more variety to how QAnon thought destroys families in how the backgrounds are different and not all families have a happy ending where the QAnon-infected family member suddenly becomes a totally normal and grounded person. It also gives good insight on how cults like QAnon attract people who have gotten themselves into a personal crisis and who may get rattled by other significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

I just read ''The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism'' by David Golumbia. The book analyzes really well the ideological roots and assumptions that are baked in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. It also debunks many of the arguments crypto-enthusiasts make. Even though I have invested in various cryptocurrencies, I find the crypto community icky because of its general right-wing libertarian sentiment. I don't view crypto as money, more like gambling with a volatile asset.

What else? Got a new SSD for my laptop server and restored my backups into it. A little bit of tinkering and now I am again syncing my files with Nextcloud.

Nope.

That Carlin clip has been circulated in various alternative medicine quackery communities for a long time, I doubt RFK Jr. has any media literacy. The similar notion has somewhat entered in mainstream discourse with the concept of "immunity debt".

I think RFK thinks that swimming in contaminated water somehow helps build immunity.

The bigger your backlog of games is right now, the better. No need to buy new games for a looooong time.

Been playing Enderal for the last three weeks or so. Downright impressive RPG, blows Skyrim out of the water easily. Made by indies, but AAA quality, and free of all things!
