I've already poured 8 hours into Pokemon Lazarus on my recently jailbroken 3DS XL. It's very much exactly what I would want from a modern sprite based Pokemon game. The battery life on the 3DS is also incredible for such an old device. It's also just wonderful to have a pocket sized device that […]

Spending this 2 week break doing, among other things, some tech related projects. Right now I'm working on running custom firmware on a Animal Crossing 3DS XL. The SD card seems to be dying tho, so I'm trying to rescue what I can onto a new SD card...

I feel increasingly wary of the design decisions of Firefox. Ads on new pages, more and more AI integration. Anyone here using a FOSS alternative as their daily?

The biggest struggle I have with fully abandoning my car for the ebike is multi destination trips. I worry that my stuff won't be safe if I leave it at the bike, or that stores won't let me bring in bags. Anyone gave thoughts/solutions on this?

So we made poor people starve for 2 weeks while middle class people worked without pay until rich people got so uncomfy about air travel delays that they caved and gave up on healthcare for poor people.

Recently been exploring the idea of remaining mostly plant based with the only exception being hunting or fishing for noncommercial reasons. So no store bought animal product, fishing myself is fine, being served something someone else hunted is fine. I haven't fully thought this through yet but […]
