@nozaki The other part is that being an exclusively rw space is part of the problem. There's not enough diversity in thought. At least people are beginning to realize this now and make fun of the podcastrace guys who do nothing but post "they hate you and want you dead" and "are you getting it yet???"

>Yet every single furry has a bsky account for some reason.

Isn't it popular with Japanese artists?

Mother 1/Earthbound Zero/Earthbound Beginnings is the best and the only truly great Mother game because it actually feels like a late 20th century road trip movie adapted into an RPG.

Earthbound/Mother 2 is way too goofy and is mostly a retelling of the first game without the Giygas backstory. And Mother 3 is a very shallow critique of capitalism, modernity, and western culture which goes against the premise of the first two games, and it might as well be a Final Fantasy game.

I think the series in general is overrated, but if one game is deserving of the hidden gem status, it would be the first one.

>also alot of the new momentum in the development side of things is putting a mastodon-adjacent gay retarded governing body behind the ""standards"" (if you can even call them anything beyond a suggestion) so I dont expect it to improve with time

I made a post about it the other night, but Mastodon's competition going forward is going to be bsky and not Twitter/similar as much.

Not having quote tweets fucked them over hard because it was a battle of the 2017 post-CVille leftists who felt "if this feature can cause harassment, it shouldn't exist" vs the 2025 "Dude, where's my quotes" Twitter refugees.

tbh i see that most of fedi users are twitter migrants, so some of that culture comes into fedi and stays there. I see overly so that the fedi political climate is an echo of that on twitter, albeit in its own way, but still very similar.

I personally think that fedi has kinda dug its own grave, as seeing with mastodon basically being an echo chamber for the twitter spergs, and darkfedi approaching that state but for the opposite political alignment.

also alot of the new momentum in the development side of things is putting a mastodon-adjacent gay retarded governing body behind the ""standards"" (if you can even call them anything beyond a suggestion) so I dont expect it to improve with time

eventually ill find that people will converge into their little echo chambers and fedi will become less and less appealing to others considering how exclusivist most of the circles are anyway

For anyone still using Android / Apple you'd be advised to stop. Google just added a program to scan your device for content the government deems unacceptable (my summary not having fully read the story yet): protectstar.com/en/blog/androi

" it’s distributed via Google Play Services or the Play Store in the background, without requiring any additional confirmation from you."

If you need a phone that doesn't ship with Google Play Services, the Play Store, or Android (ie core) I'm still selling at least basic smart phones with LineageOS 22.1. And assuming people remain interested in such phones at some point probably Pixel and/or some other models with GrapheneOS (again).

@icedquinn It's not that. Suiseiseki is an extreme freetard and he is now saying that modern anime should be avoided because of fictional portrayals of proprietary software.

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Dude, it's fiction.

I feel like I'm making lolicon discussion type arguments but the fucking proprietary software in the anime isn't real bro...

@monarchist James Corbett has done videos about him, exposing the shady things he done over the years. Personally, I think him buying out Twitter/X with plans to make it the "everything app" is just a Trojan Horse for Digital ID.

Musk’s companies—Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity—have raked in billions of taxpayer dollars over the years, yet we aren’t hearing a peep from him about slashing those handouts.

fun fact: your house was proprietary, all the software that went into structural analysis, material analysis, and testing is all propreitary.

Your appliances? Parts drafted with proprietary software, manufactured with machines that run proprietary software.

Remember that everything down the production line MUST be gnu or youre using proprietary software...

like a spoon, basically proprietary software....

The libertarian solution is to not put food in your mouth that you don't want there

Nice of you to admit you lack the self-control to do this

> Anonymity in banking is a well-known concept. If I transfer money
from my numbered swiss bank account to your numbered swiss bank account, nobody knows anything, except who the bank is. And I don't see Switzerland giving up their enviable position in the international banking community willingly. All we need to do is convince a swiss bank to do some digital cash banking. Easier said than done. (1992)
