This week's donation went to the Devuan project. It's a Linux distro based off Debian which not only doesn't use SystemD but during install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA. It uses the Ext file system by default. The latest release is called Daedalus which is based off Debian 12 but you can install Excalibur which is based off Debian testing if one needed newer packages. Overall it is a great option if one wants a distro giving them more freedom of choice during install.

The project's main website is here:

devuan.org/

The project has a forum here:

dev1galaxy.org/

The project accepts donations through Paypal, crypto and bank transfer if you wish to help financially:

Fuck the FCC! They are the most anti-freespeech government organization we have. I'd say that it is unconstitutional and states should nullify their laws regarding swear words on public broadcasts. I can't tell you all the times that I want to call in to a talk show to tell them they're wrong, but I can't because of my language and the huge fines that I would pay.

Once seasteading becomes a thing, someone should put a floating radio station on international waters, but close enough to reach American radios and broadcast every word forbidden by the FCC on repeat. Broadcast over claimed frequencies for all I care. Since, it would be on international waters, there is nothing they can do about that.

@realcaseyrollins Biden has probably already been dead for years. I keep on saying that the guy we are seeing is just an actor. He looks NOTHING like the Biden from the Obama administration and before that. Just look at the eyes and earlobes. Those are genetic traits.

I also suspect that the actor is faking the dementia.

Not my game, but a friend is developing a card-based game on top of the Löve engine: https://berru-dev.itch.io/regicide

Promises:
- Permadeath, permagame. A real roguelike mechanic for a real challenge. If you're smart you can beat the game on your first try. No grinding. No unlocking new stuff making the game easier. Your only chance to win is to get better.
- First class Linux support.
- Community driven. Follow the development on twitch. Leave feedback, influence the game. If you can reach us you will be answered. Comment here (on itch.io) or beat the demo to find the contact address, if you can.

Features:
- Overthrow monarchy, kill kings, queens, princes and princess.
- Innovating card stacking mechanic.
- Deck building : build a different deck on each run. Nobody has time to learn all the cards on their first game.

@blockbot You should consider adding a zoophile alert as well.

One-neutron transfer can beat nuclear fusion in output, here's proof

Neutron transfer has always fascinated scientists, but this time it shocked them. They found that one-neutron stripping can produce output similar to nuclear fusion, one of the most powerful nuclear reactions known to mankind.

@PurpCat It isn't just Mastodon or the queer Pleroma/Akkoma instances. Even some free-speech/RW instances will block others for dumb reasons.

Hey @crunklord420 webdevving in TempleOS just got Travis Scott lit, me & @nroot now have full Code Page 437 font rendered on your browser, super improved from what Terry originally had for his website. We also render sprites as BMP.

Write the DolDoc in Ed() while viewing changes live, rsync the document to prod after writing, voila. You get the exact same thing in your browser. no gay markdown Electron shit needed for your live preview (take a look at https://aiwnios.com/#l100)

Honestly, I think the whole blocking feature is the Fediverse's greatest weakness. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freedom of association, but given that at least one of the major ActivityPub implementations built it's entire existence around it means that we pretty much have a broken network and it locks people into echo-chambers. At least Nostr, despite it's flaws makes you judge everyone on an individual basis and not be at the whim of what your server admin wants you to see.

@neko @binkle I use factory classes for enemies. Otherwise, I would be using a ton of import statements in my level class.

It looks like there are now three parts of the fediverse: the Mastodon side, the "free-speech side", and the instances that are allowed to federate with threads.
