thank you, I will!

i remember when they announced that tumblr would be migrating to wordpress for the backend, and both tumblr and wordpress engineers said in unison “this is a terrible idea”

thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

take care 🧡

only Hypixel Studios, the dev studio behind Hytale that was bought by Riot, is shutting down

the Hypixel server isn’t going anywhere (for now, at least)

what “slavery is allowed if the enslaved person is a prisoner” does to you

i use Heroic Games Launcher, and while the experience isn’t as seamless as steam (or GOG Galaxy on windows), it works pretty well!

it does the 3 things I need most from a game launcher well: install games, manage games, play games

this reminds me of the Hippocratic License, which comes with a bunch of modules restricting the use of software based on ethical considerations (for example, there’s a module forbidding the use by police, and another one forbidding the use by any institution on the BDS list)

i think the FSF, in their eternal and unchallengeable wisdom (/s), also declared that it wasn’t foss

id rather be using whatsapp, honestly

it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data

(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)

imagine being the person forced to use FB messenger because your friends are on it and won’t bother installing anything else

i am that person 😖

I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.

it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)

you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.

so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware

they already do! (sorta)

if you buy games through heroic, the heroic devs get a percentage of the sale

it feels pertinent to say that no, they didn’t come for the socialists first

they came for disabled people first

what they really believe: guns are necessary for people to fight back against the government murder minorities

depends on your time zone, it most of the world it comes out wensday (aka, as i write this, tomorrow where i am, or even today if you live east of the atlantic!)

(the switch 2 version comes out at 00:00 on thursday no matter the time zone tho)

in the west too our phones spy on us but everyone knows, everyone thinks it’s bad, and yet nobody cares

i think it’s more her grieving the fact that a big chunk of her life was a lie

i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly

personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!

yea okay. the genocidal tech company that buys every studio it can to create a monopoly on gaming is a more ethical alternative to nintendo. okay.

i think a section with indie games similar to nintendo’s games would’ve been cool, yknow stuff like bug fables, tunic or mindwave, instead of “If you don’t like Nintendo you can buy an Xbox! 😃”
