Idiots on the internet

If you can understand words, but can’t understand contexts, maybe you need to stay away from the internet.

Vibe Coding

Vibe coding is coding just the same way as ordering from McDonalds is cooking. Stop lying to yourself, you’re not a programmer, you’re an AI consumer. Make sure to keep paying that ChatGPT subscription.

Fuck AI Slop

As a follow up to my article “Defending technology in the age of AI slop”, I decided to remove all content that was generated with AI from my site. It wasn’t a lot, only a few images generated with Midjourney, when it was the “new cool thing”. Fuck Midjourney, and fuck AI slop.

Less Interaction Is Sometimes Better

Since people don’t seem to be interacting too much nowadays with the comments (or the Webmention feature), I’ve decided it’s time for them to go away. If you still want to drop me a line, you can always write to me on the guestbook, or drop a line over email. Peace!

God save us, everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young? No!

Dire Straits - Where Do You Think You’re Going?

Where do you think you’re going?
Don’t you know it’s dark outside?
Where do you think you’re going?
I wish they’d care about my pride

Where do you think you’re going?
I think you don’t know
You got no way of knowing
You got no place you can go

I understand your changes
How long before you reach the door
I know where you think you’re going
I know what you came here for

And now I’m sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
Where do you think you’re going?
I think you’d better go with me, girl

Using Xbox Cloud Gaming on Steam Deck

Using Xbox Cloud Gaming on Steam Deck

Since people are “celebrating” the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, I also remembered that you can use a SteamDeck to set up Xbox Cloud Gaming Xbox Remote Play*, so you can play the games from your Xbox on the go. The process involves installing the Edge browser, adding it to Steam, and running a specific command in the terminal and customizing the Steam shortcut.

Just in case the video ever gets down, the terminal command that you need to run is:

1
flatpak --user override --filesystem=/run/udev:ro com.microsoft.Edge

and the thing you need to append to the launch options of the shortcut is

1
--window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25  --kiosk "https://www.xbox.com/play"

FYI, while playing from at home I had no issue while playing a game (which I will review soon) and Forza Horizon 3, 4 and 5, and as long as the game is not extremely fast paced, the latency is decent to very good, depending on the title.

*PS: While Steam Cloud Gaming is only available in a very small list of countries, you can use Xbox Remote Play everywhere, which is what I wanted actually in the first place.
