I executed some `sudo chmod` commands on my computer with the wrong folders. Now it won't boot. Guess I should check myself next time, but for now, I reinstall. #linux
@PINE64 should I be worried if I still don't have my tracking email for my #pinephone?

There's a well-known African proverb: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." What Moxie's centralization talk misses is that the faults in early decentralized protocols came because dotcoms wanted to capture the market.
AIDungeon 2 is impressive, but also funny in how oblivious it can be to your inputs.

I tried replacing my Google Pixel's battery myself but ended up breaking the screen along the way. I'm certainly making sure my future mobile devices won't so easily have this problem with home repairs.
Google's #Stadia is impressive as a user experience and technology platform, but I worry about the lifecycle of game experiences once you can no longer play them.
A positive aspect to Stadia is, since it uses #linux to run, it could help studios put effort into tooling for linux, even in non-cloud gaming.
Nice to see another #ocremix album from a great composer!
