I could barely ever read a book unless shit was constantly happening and didnt have full paragraph tangents describing useless shit like the way a character was dressed. But people reading something off, like in a yt vid? I can sit through a fucking lot. Read that shit to me im gettin COZY

I'm debating whether or not I should have silent credits because the credits sequence is so short, no matter how much I pad it out (I use a lot less stock assets this time).

So there's a really good reason why I am hosting Pleroma today on a Core 2 Duo:
During a much happier time on the internet, I knew a bunch of people who hosted Quake, CS, Mumble/TS, and other servers in their basement, closet, or under their bed.

While I could lament about the state of the modern phone obsessed nerd, instead I should point something else out: Twitter is dead and BlueSky is still invite only for what amounts to Napster as social media. What you can do is host a Pleroma instance using a server under your bed/in your closet/in the basement, and to add to that the server is literally a Core 2 Duo from 2008-9.

I will keep this server up for at least a month and upload a video tutorial, just to promote fediverse some more among nerds.

Digital Foundry thinks that these women are "scantily clad" and that the showcase for the Gamecube was "sexist."

Today marks the 13-year anniversary of me fleeing from a campus while people were shot and killed.

I don’t talk about it much, but just wanted to drop a reminder that not all school-shooting “survivors” want the event or events like it used to take away essential freedoms.

@matrix SimCity 4 is all you ever need. People are still make mods for it to this very day.

Agent based simulation, coupled with the bad AI just turns the whole game into a traffic simulator and ruins the fun.

@admin @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @rasterman But they still believed in a government. Minarchists will never be libertarians.

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @rasterman Every libertarian take I make just gets me dogpiled by Poast these days. It was much better before Poast arrived.

@ArdainianRight America is too big to gatekeep anyway. It should've been a bunch of smaller countries or covenant communities.

@rasterman @ChristiJunior If I was just LARPing, I wouldn't do it on GameLiberty. I would do it on Poast, DRC, or any other instance that really hates libertarians. I'm actually well respected on GameLiberty. It's only you guys who hate my guts.

@linear I wasn't aware of Ladybird. I was aware of SerenityOS, but I didn't know that Andreas Kling was making his own browser as well. Though, I wish he would stop using GitHub, but there would probably be fewer devs if that was the case.

@linear Pressure the NetSurf devs to resume development.

Had a very vivid dream where I went to a little cafe in some big building because I noticed in the mini fridge they had "vanilla ice cream coke" which looked like this milk stuff that taste like a vanilla shake with a hint of coke, and it was in a regular shaped cole bottle, and now im so fucking mad its not real

@BrideOfLinux @amerika Anyone with a mask in their pfp, especially right now, should automatically have their opinions discarded.

@PurpCat @Corfiot Doesn't Discord still allow bots? Someone can make chat loggers and put them on the web. People do that with IRC all the time.

@Corfiot @PurpCat People don't realize that part of the reason why forums declined was that a lot of forums had the worse moderation while sites like Reddit, Digg, or the comment section of YouTube were much more lax at the time. Seriously, forums would immediately ban you just for using words that you can't say on American Daytime TV while sites like YouTube at the time could have you get away with words like "faggot". It was especially pointless as most forums required users to be at least 13 years old anyway.

There were also other bullshit policies like policies against necrobumping, which were pointless as topics do eventually become relevant again with new information. Or admins banning discussions that they *think* are illegal but are not. I remember a lot of gaming forums banning people for merely mentioning the existence of emulators (which aren't even illegal in of itself), not even asking or distributing ROMs. They didn't even mentioned downloading ROMs. They could've even dumped the ROMs themselves for all we know, but they still got banned.

Forums were able to get away with their abusive moderation because they are much smaller with the largest forums having around 10,000 or maybe even 100,000 active users at best. It's basically the same reason why Mastodon instances are able to enforce rules that are more strict than Jack Dorsey's Twitter.
