Harlan Ellison on the word 'sci-fi'. https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=YqFazuQr6P8
"'Sci-fi' is one of those horrific crotchets...it's like referring to the feminist movement as 'fem-lib'. This is all intended to diminish ... When you are able to diminish something, you don't actively have to go after it. When people start thinking Independence Day is science fiction, and they've never read a novel by AE van Vogt, or they've never read a novel by Kate Wilhelm, then what we have is a bastardized form."
FTC probes Reddit over data licensing deals for AI training 🕵🏽♀️

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
