Well, here’s the part where I hope people are able to make a Wikipedia alternative so we can turn Wikipedia into a cesspool to ensure the enshitification of gøøg|e. That, and if I ever get a Wikipedia article made about me (which will probably never happen), I’m signing up with an account and absolutely trashing it to say things that will cause whatever any AI looking at it to spout the most absurd shit.

I know I’ve seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don’t remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.

I’m a firm believer that regardless of operating system that a warning message saying that installing something could cause harm to your device definitely makes people think twice about installation if they’re not tech savvy (AKA know more than the bare minimum anymore). It’s definitely intentional that the large companies responsible scare you away from doing the things you want because they want you locked into doing things the way they want.

Out of all the games that I know for sure that have a native Linux port, I’m either going with Minetest, which I have been playing for Voxel Libre (once Mineclone2), or the Sonic Robo Blast 2 with the Reveries mod, despite not knowing what exactly it changes. They’re the 2 games I know have a native port that I’ve been playing the most recently.

Don’t know whether pizza from a place you can sit down in and eat counts, but there used to be a place called Rocky Rococo’s. Best pizza in the whole city, until they disappeared off the map. Now I’d have to go to the other side of the country just for their pizza. For a place I wouldn’t consider a restaurant, they had some of the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had.

But these people can’t be good Christians if they don’t force their religion onto the impressionable kids! How else do they get new kids to help please the local church overlords with their sexual desires?

It’s absolutely amazing how we went from the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer in the beginning of computers to everyone knowing how to do at least the bare minimum on a computer in the 2000s to now circling back to the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer because pretty much everything they do can and probably is done on a phone. It’s also real scary to think since I’d assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren’t properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we’re too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.

Similar way is how I ended up finding out about Mindustry. Found it on F-Droid and liked it enough to buy it on Steam when I found out it’s available there. Definitely a good idea if done right.

Too bad I don’t have access to any apple products I could use to try it. Gonna have to look into this.

Edit: looked it up and it looks like something similar to Vib-Ribbon in terms.of gameplay, but from what I can gather, it’s been over a decade since any updates. Also, I’d hope for a PC port of a Vib-Ribbon clone because there’s no way you’re getting me to play any more rhythm games where you have to use a small touch screen to play. No idea if that Russian Dancing Men has the ability to take local files stored on your phone and use them to generate levels, though, or where you’d go to get a legit copy of the app anymore even if you have an apple product able to play it.

Don’t know quite how underrated/forgotten this is, but I wanna see a remake of Vib-Ribbon. That, or have an open source clone of it made by someone who actually knows how to properly program (not me), if it already doesn’t exist.

If anything, I believe they wanna go back to long before the 60s. Back to the 1700s, in terms of owning slaves (including women), being able to shoot anyone who they disagree with, and getting away with killing anyone who isn’t white, claim they killed themselves, and have nobody question it.

I’m all for peaceful environmental protesting, but destruction of property and historic monuments/items only makes your movement look worse. News will spin it as the protesters being vandals and go about their day. Most people won’t think beyond that and will probably associate environmental activism with negative things such as vandalism or whatever else their favorite news calls what they’re doing.

Imagine that! A place in one part of the world having depictions of animals that aren’t native to that specific place! We’ve never seen that before in history! It’s not like the Roman empire wiped out certain animal species in Africa from hunting and had depictions of them despite them not being native to Rome! Yeah, that never happened!

I’d love to see them try to run it on a Flipper Zero. Theoretically you could maybe make it work. Should you? Absolutely not, but I wanna see it.

It really is a massive W for Firefox, knowing that despite the security risks that are probably manufactured by gøøg|e on purpose to justify manifest v3, that they’re still gonnaet v3 extensions use the web request API. Let’s hope they keep that up for as long as possible.

There are a couple channels I watch where I expect community notes to be absolutely abused to make anyone who comes to their channels think they’re either liars or something horrendous. As good of a feature as this is, I have no doubts it’ll be abused.

Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn’t go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.

Python having a built-in FTP server is amazing. Definitely gonna have to save your comment and try that.

I’ve heard plenty of other people have had a better time with it than I have, but I like to use KDE Connect for some reason that I’ll never understand. That, and Wormhole, through flatpak since I suck at installing through source.

I’m calling it now:

In other news Adobe forced to pay 0.001% if what they earn every day from subscriptions and still find loopholes allowing them to continue business as usual, with the US government sticking their thumbs up their ass because they can’t make an example of Adobe too soon or the bribes… I mean donations from lobbyists representing large companies will dry up.
