@Akagi @teto Windows survives because of all the govs and corps that have spent decades having workforces schooled and trained into using windows, and now are unwilling to go back and retrain them because it's sunk costs fallacy with all the licensing they bought and still buy

Also Microsoft lobbying, also whiny boomers being unwilling to learn anything else, plus normie's just being normies

There was a literal PewDiePie video where he bitched about Adobe's subscription model. I can only imagine how much it got worse since 8's on desktop ads

I feel like my game is done. I don't know what more to add to it that wouldn't require huge changes.

I just need to make a Windows port. It seems like the easiest way to do that (not manually dealing with MinGW's bullshit) is through Code::Blocks.

I would also like to make a BSD port because it would be nice to target such a niche audience, but we'll see.

@djsumdog I'm surprised that it's only Richard Stallman. I would expect people like ESR, Bryan Lunduke, Vaxry, and whoever runs Omarchy and LadyBird on there as well.

All they had to do was slap a red hat on the WEF agenda — and the same people who once opposed it now cheer it on.

@Xeraser You're just jealous that Croatians make superior pasta dishes.

The first 3 letters of “Sweden“ and “Denmark“ spell out “Sweden.“ The remaining letters spell out “Denmark.“

Edit 2025-10-10: See tldr.nettime.org/@kdawson/1153 for all of the country pairs (in English) that play this trick.

On Framework's latest controversy,

Work is work and if someone can keep their personal views out of it when it's not relevant, the quality of the work should be judged on it's own merits. I don't think holding that principle of neutrality is a very far reach. It is not Framework's duty to only support the people you like because of the reasons you approve. Particularly if we are talking about open source software where many of these are not directly making a profit, and particularly when this is a business and not a person. There's a dedicated time and place for everything.

I've watched a lot of maintainers gatekeep their projects to only contributors or members they agree with, and it never ends well for them, even if the people kicked out were objectively in the wrong. It demonstrates to onlookers that the maintainers care more about their own reputation than skill. And most of these are the same kinds of people who will insert extreme political messaging into projects that favor themselves. Probably the nastiest examples are when Discord Chat Exporter and node-ipc were compromised to target Russian users, with DRM and aggressive malware respectively. Not the government, mind you, but random ordinary people they thought were Russian. It's cultist bullshit.

Also, vaxry isn't even an extremist, all of that shit was made up by a known pedophile because he was mad he couldn't control vax's project. Never seen any serious proof of the claims against him. So even if this "you're supporting a nazi" stuff had any weight, it's aimed at the wrong people.
