@SuperDicq @dead_man @Phobos He's not Christian. He's Jewish. I learned about the Jewish tradition of going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas from him.

I take it back I find Valve fanboys more annoying than Bethesda fanboys at this point. I'm kinda annoyed at the mindless dick riding of Gabe Newell when Counter Strike 2 doesn't even have a functioning anti-cheat and they've neglected the game for the last 2 years for everything but stupid cosmetics and updates to make cosmetics look better. Then I see retards going apeshit over an overpriced gamepad because it has TMR. I could put TMR sticks in my existing gamepad for a 5th of the price.

I do like the idea of SteamOS and gaming on Linux but gaming wise Valve hasn't really done anything mind blowing since The Orange Box in 2007 and that was 19 years ago. Portal 2 was alright but I never cared for Dota and I could care less about Deadlock as that will probably suffer the same fate as TF2 and CS2 and just be botted to hell and back with a dogshit anti-cheat.

We don't think any institution or state has the right to prevent families and friends from private chatting, physically or digitally. But the Cyber Authority China (CaC) seems to take offense:

- they made Apple remove #deltachat iOS for mainland china

- their great firewall appears to block some #chatmail relays

- if you ask DeepSeek directly about Delta Chat, it doesn't want to talk

It's pretty sad, really. Everybody on this planet needs, and has a human right to private communication.

I find it kinda crazy when people put on this whole show about how Xorg is deprecated or whatever but in reality it's works perfectly fine.

Meanwhile Wayland has objectively, measurably and significantly worse latency than Xorg. Not to mention buggy.

Like, I'm just gonna keep using Xorg. This isn't a political stance. It's just better, objectively so, I don't what else to say.

So, I had no idea that Lazy Town was actually a book first and foremost and then a stage play, in which an adult actress portrayed Stephanie. The sequel play's portrayal of her also seems to be an adult. This is moot anyway because yeah, the original story was a book that obviously has no actors at all.

This changes my perspective on the character being drawn entirely. It's pretty important context that I was missing and I apologize for that.

I can indeed be wrong sometimes. Crazy.

@redneonglow @teto also a non-trivial faction of the online right got suckered into neo puritanism, in part so they could carry out their larp of shoving the nerds in the locker rooms.

> Utah's Senate Bill 73 goes into force on May 6, websites subject to the state's age verification law will be legally barred from explaining how to use a VPN to get around age restrictions.

this sounds like god's most obvious first amendment violation

Things aren't looking good for the companies implementing age verification, Roblox just reported:

"As of the end of the first quarter, 51% of global daily active users had completed age verification,"

"Roblox cut its full-year 2026 bookings forecast by roughly $900 million at the midpoint on Thursday, blaming stronger-than-expected headwinds from its mandatory age-verification rollout"

@beardalaxy Hopefully, someone can add a CD-quality soundtrack mod. I always hated the GBAs sound quality.

okay it's not actually THAT bad, but the kinstone stuff just sucks ass. if there is ever an option to have additional buttons for your gear, play using that, because having the kinstones take up an entire button that can't be remapped is diabolical.

@PurpCat I was using HookTube (the YT proxy before invidious) at the time and the featured video section was littered with culture war shit, mostly from the alt-right and anti-SJW side.

It also wasn't limited to just videos. Every community I was a part of or just lurked either had some SJW trying to hijack it or someone spamming threads with links about race-realism.

I wish I could tell my 19 year old self that the culture war is mostly being funded by the SPLC and that every celebrity on all sides would eventually become lolcows so it's not worth wasting your time spectating on it.

No. I was never on any movement, but I will admit that I wasted my time watching videos from all sides, and it did affect my performance in college. I was only drawn in because the Internet circles I was in were the ones most affected by it.

I'm do not like either Drew Devault, Brodie Robertson or Bryan Lunduke.

All three of them are kinda shitheads really.

But honestly watching these three fight each each other based on their tastes in pornography is fucking hilarious to me.

NEW PODCAST! 🎙☢️🦠

Filmmaker James Patrick discusses his documentary work on technocratic control and the erosion of personal freedoms. The conversation explores a global shift toward totalitarianism driven by the implementation of CBDCs, digital IDs, and the “great taking” of private assets. Patrick argues that recent crises, including the pandemic and agricultural regulations, are tools used by an elite class to destabilize the West and force humanity into a state of neo-feudal dependency. He further examines the “war on fertility” and food supplies, suggesting that these are coordinated efforts to reduce the global population and consolidate power. He also talks about his upcoming film detailing the escalation toward WW3. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2026/05/04/patrick-ww3-great-reset-taking
