Reminder that a few years ago it is was super trendy to add Chinese translations to your indie video game. To get some of that Chinese market. You know, the Chinese. The people who are essentially genociding an entire region of people.

No one had any fucking issues with adding Chinese translations. No one said "hey, you need to remove the Chinese translation". Everyone was pretty happy about Chinese civilians being exposed to western culture after decades of much harsher restrictions against video games.

Clown world, at least CD Projekt Red is in the region, but still. I hate this deplatforming tactic shit being used against an entire civilian population. This is the least defensible part of everything that is happening. The precedents that are being set, fuck man.

Everyone really does need to "build their own". If you're not fully FOSS'd out and adaptable you're totally fucking owned.

I swear to Allah when the Internet finally fractures under the strain I will be there running bridged tor hidden services to preserve original internet forum culture. Those have the tools will be free, those who resisted will be nigger cattle :terry:

Food shortages are probably going to get worse with this Ukraine situation. Now is a good of a time as ever to start knowing your local farmers, learning how to grow your own food, and more local connections. Even if it's still winter, you can still find who you can go to.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town @pjcyto There are some projects like that going on in Europe.

@xianc78 They are going to attempt, or put up a big show. At this point, they should realize that removing crypto will be a lot like cleaning shit off a bankers Afghan Carpet. We'll spread around but never truly be gone.

@pjcyto It's going to severely cripple the crypto market though and if governments start forcing ISPs to block the protocols then agorists and crypto-anarchists will need to start creating black-market ISPs.

@PhenomX6 @vriska @coolboymew Yeah. Throughout my college career, I realized that college is bullshit and I would encourage anyone to try to find a different path if they can. I only went because my grandparents have invested enough over the decades to pay for our tuitions. I don't know how it would've went if I had to pay for college myself, especially since I didn't have a job back in high school (I was the kid who sold food when the teachers weren't looking, but that wasn't enough).

I wish gifted high schools were more common here. It would at least be a better alternative to college for those who are "gifted", but there seems to be a lot of controversy around them because of their exclusive nature.

@Mr_NutterButter Seems like most English speakers go with French if they don't want to learn Spanish.

@coolboymew @vriska It's really hard. I also didn't have time to work on programming projects in my free time due to school and my part-time job. I haven't finished a hobby project since high school and those projects were shitty clones of old Atari games.

@hj Just install a normal distro and stop listening to the memes.

@coolboymew @vriska That's pretty difficult for an autistic person like me, but I'm trying my best.

@coolboymew @vriska I'm in my last semester of college. I was unable to get an internship due to the COVID shitshow. It's straight to the workforce for me. Luckily, my brother is in the same field as I am and can easily help me get a job.
