Cyberdecks: Why People Are Building Their Own Computers Again in an Age of AI, Automation, and Digital Fatigue - Interconnected Earth In an age of AI and digital fatigue, more people are turning to Cyberdecks, building their own computers to both disconnect and reconnect with technology.

Cyberdeck culture is growing for a reason. People are tired of locked-down devices, subscriptions, and platforms they don’t control. So they’re building their own computers—something personal, something human again. buff.ly/1cej6hX

Kimimi digs this tiny Bubble Bobble LCD adaptation for packing in arcade touches, surprising detail, and fast play on very modest hardware. Krista wrestles with whether to keep playing or buying The Sims 4 after the buyout news and the game’s new marketplace. Belghast and company bounce between Marvel Heroes Omega revival, Path of Exile drama, Last Epoch: Shattered Omens, and quick hits on smaller games. Wilhelm tracks a mostly quiet Fantasy Critic week where MLB The Show 26’s review slide rattles the standings more than any new release. Warner rounds up thoughtful reads on control, storytelling, anonymous artists, sci-fi franchises, and AI skepticism, with dogs and dragons along the way. Bruce Schneier highlights VitruvianOS 0.3, a Haiku-inspired Linux-based OS with its own graphics stack instead of X11 or Wayland. Dave Winer shares a podcast on making desktop-ready AI apps with Claude or ChatGPT, plus open-source notes on his podcastBuilder and Drummer workflow. Tobold argues the AI slop economy is cracking, with costly tools like Sora and shallow clickbait attention failing to create real value.

It's a light #DailyBlogroll for a Monday morning, but @scripting.com, Wilhelm, @leekscosycorner.com, Bruce Schneier, Kimimi, Tobold, Warner, and Belghast stepped up!

Alexia runs through 30 games from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Infinity Nikki, weighing which ones are worth bringing back into 2026. Syp pokes through WoW Midnight at a leisurely pace, enjoys steady flying’s return, and falls hard for the cozy, magical Arcantina. Patrick recounts crash-learning Tunnels & Trolls 7.5, wrangling its chaotic rules, and somehow getting a homemade dungeon to the table. Kevin adds a TempusGameIt feature that spots untracked Steam installs and helps users quickly fill in missing game metadata. Krista hustles through Infinity Nikki 2.3, finishes a couple limited outfits, and gets reacquainted before the 2.4 update lands. Wilhelm breezes past Eikthyr, upgrades into troll hide, and tweaks Valheim’s solo settings to make bronze grinding and boat-building feel just right. Roger preps for a Danube cruise by sorting sockets, charging gear, and the usual stack of travel tech modern holidays apparently demand. Bhagpuss takes a spring detour to Stanton Drew and contrasts its hands-on, low-key stone circles with the heavily managed Stonehenge experience. Joar reflects on how lingering in the wrong job slowly drains energy, optimism, and initiative long before anything visibly breaks. Jamie Zawinski flags a grim BLDGBLOG note: repeated drawdowns may be pushing Strategic Oil Reserve salt caverns toward structural failure. Mike keeps refining the Leako ColecoVision clone, swapping to USB power and tackling board flex, parts shortages, and general buildability. Dave Winer gripes that Claude is lousy for open-ended research and argues Mozilla should focus on user-controlled web storage for independent developers.

Two new names join the #DailyBlogroll today! Enjoy stories by @scripting.com, Wilhelm, Alexia, Patrick, Kevin, @leadedsolder.com, Joar, Krista, Bhagpuss, Syp, Jamie Zawinski, Roger and more!

Watching Metropolis now feels like looking at an early sketch of algorithmic cities.
A world run by systems, not people; by structure, not dialogue.
It’s fascinating how a 1927 film captures anxieties we now express through data, automation, and AI.

The strangest prompt I’ve ever given an AI:

“Be my critic.”

Not my assistant.
Not my helper.

A critic whose only job is to find what’s wrong with my ideas.

That one prompt completely changed how I use AI.
