  • HP48GX scientific calculator, damn old, still works great still use it a lot

    Steam Deck, handheld gaming computer, barely use PS5 anymore, this one is so quick and convenient to just pause and resume games and take gaming everywhere and the SteamOS Linux is awesome. I use the desktop mode with full KDE Plasma desktop as my portable computer a lot when on the go. Also with the dock station I can use it as a gaming console when going on holidays.

    And the flat I live in. Good thing as I bought it quite a few years ago since the home prices are just criminal and highly unjust now. This stuff does not belong on markets to be sold for profits or some criminal short-time renting crap like AirBnB






















  • Judging from their past and all the bad actions they have done in the past, bad for democracy, privacy, minorities and marginalised people and how openly they have a far/extreme-right bias. Well I feel extremely negative about them joining in. They were also part of destruction of another open/federated protocol in the past: they played big part in destroying XMPP/Jabber messaging. So I am afraid they will do their usual embrace, extend, and extinguish thing and their surveillance capitalist thing and yeah. no good. Best to block their instances outright.



  • GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Neon, Gentoo, Arch/SteamOS on Steam Deck) all with KDE Plasma desktop. Because the KDE Plasma desktop is way ahead of anything I’ve ever used on proprietary OSes. Also in general GNU/Linux is leading both technically and ethically, as it is also being free (as in freedom) and opensource software, respects our privacy, and doesn’t bother you with ads.
