Wow, Proton and Vulkan have come a long way. I just installed BG3 and OW2 on my Linux machine, and both run perfectly - probably even better than on Windows. Who needs Windows anymore? #Linux #LinuxGaming

Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here. The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones. I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that. The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that." Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine. #SocialMedia #Mastodon #Fediverse

AppImage is a frustrating invention for Linux. It should work like macOS's .app, but it falls short. Getting an app to run and dock always involves tinkering and manually deploying a .desktop item, among other hassles. I wish I had known about Gear Lever for Gnome earlier.

OMG! Ubuntu

Gear Lever makes updating AppImage apps much easier. I prefer .deb packages, but too many apps don't offer them. #Linux #AppImage #Apps

I just created a program that uses an AI language model to go through my task list and calendar, prioritize the tasks according to who am I and what I do, what's the situation in our company and how much I get to do during my work day, top 5 and recommendations why and what should be postponed. This gets saved to my Obsidian vault as markdown note each morning for me to start working. All this with bash. :bunhdheart: PS. I hate the over-utilization for AI, but it's good for repetitive monkey things and secretary type of tasks. #AI #Bash #Linux #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Tasks #Productivity #Programming

I love bash programming (Bourne again shell). It comes so natural to me. #Linux #Bash

I've been running long runs (20-30km) carrying a bottle of half a gallon of water in my hand. I think it's time to start thinking about purchasing a running vest. I know nothing about them, but preferably the vest should in some way contain a holding of 1500ml of water minimum. Runners out there, what do you recommend? #Run #Running #LongRun #Marathon #HalfMarathon

Training for my first marathon. Week 8. Progressing steadily. June: 86.10km. #RolleJuoksee #Running #Juoksu #Juokseminen

Olen ollut viime päivinä allapäin. Kun tuntuu, että ei ole mitään hyvää sanottavaa mistään, on parempi olla hiljaa. Erityisesti somessa pitäisi olla jokin hyvän mielen lähettiläs. Siihen minusta ei nyt ole, olen pahoillani.

Markkinointi ei ole absoluuttista. On ihan turha pohtia miksi ei laita rahaa tai aikaa (joka on yleensä rahaa) kaikkiin mahdollisiin lokeroihin. Väkisin haulikolla ampuen se on hukkaan heitettyä rahaa. Markkinoinnin pitää tulla luonnostaan ja oikeissa kanavissa. Fakta on, että jokainen jalkapallo-ottelussa ei rekisteröi laitamainostasi. Kaikki 1,5 miljardia TikTok-käyttäjää eivät näe videotasi. Markkinointi on rajallista, häilyvää, mielikuvien synnyttämistä ja pitkää peliä. #Markkinointi
