what if there were a bank that took deposits and converted them into gold or silver at time of deposit, and then your balance was shown in lbs & oz, and withdrawals were based on current metal prices + some service fee to keep the operation running

@wowaname @lewdthewides Well, it looks like you have to wait for a certain time to get a free website there, but that's probably because the server was just recently upgraded.

@wowaname @lewdthewides I tried them once, but I didn't like their file upload limitations. I don't remember them using hcaptcha, but I do know that the CEO is pro-censorship, despite free-speech and free-expression being part of their original vision.

You could also try HelioHost. They are one of the few free web hosts out there that support server-side scripting (with dozens of languages supported), databases, and email hosting. They run entirely off of donations, but have been running for a very long time.

The blue Dark Nut-like enemy can now only be attacked via bombs, finally giving the bombs a practical use.

The US government created Hurricane Helene via geo-engineering and weather modification as part of their depopulation plan. That's why they aren't sending aid.

I realized that what really makes you a bad gamedev is not being terrible at programming, level design, or art, but rather having not played enough games in various genres to fully appreciate the medium.

The widespread use of biometrics also raises significant privacy concerns. Unlike passwords or other credentials, biometric data such as DNA is immutable—you can’t change it once it’s compromised.

The United Nations and its member governments, with strong support from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), adopted a landmark agreement last week to bestow the U.N. with more power and influence in global affairs.

A new study has determined that breast cancer rates are increasing among young women. There’s no doubt that genetics can play a role but exposure to environmental toxins – including cell phones and other sources of wireless radiation - can play a role too!

Private citizens are bringing out as many helicopters as possible and crowdfunding the cost of fuel, yet the head of state of the largest, most powerful government in human history says he's done all he can do.

@eliasr Kind of sick of most of them actually. I feel like the ones from the 2000s and early 2010s were much more creative.

The first priority of the HAM redditor is to seethe that this guy transmitting on a net asking for water didn't have a license.
One might wonder, if a hurricane is not sufficient enough to temporarily ignore the rules, what emergency in the minds of the HAM operator is?

I am sick of the "nothing ever happens" meme. In fact, I'm sick of every meme that became popular post-COVID.

@beardalaxy I don't think companies should be obligated to re-release everything. Sure, it would be nice if they did, especially if the consoles or physical media they are on are rapidly dying or were on some obscure service like the Satellaview, but those are cases were most people agree that piracy is morally acceptable for those cases.

Even Nintendo doesn't seem to go after people who redistribute Satellaview ROMs. They probably realize that it is extremely unlikely that those games will ever be officially rereleased, so they turn a blind eye to them.
