@ItsSkyDragonz A new entry in the DS line with 7th-8th gen graphics and a screen that isn't fucking 240p would be cool. The Switch doesn't cut it.

@xianc78 I do agree that 99% of the cryptoes are technically scams.
I'd go as far to say that Monero is the only legit crypto out there.
Bitcoin too, but it's not fungible, not private at all, so I don't think it'll actually have any utility when Monero goes mainstream.
But at least it's not a scam coin.

Added an end screen when you finish the last level, instead of having the game immediately reset when you defeat the final boss.

@PhenomX6 @wrongthink @ryo You can just list your links on a pastebin or on txti.es if you want to be that simple. I know a lot of them have those kind of sites because they purchased a custom domain for business emails and they decided that they might as well have a website too but don't know what to put on there so they just put links to all their profiles.

@PhenomX6 @wrongthink @ryo How many of them realize that Steam is by definition DRM?

@vriska I can't believe that there are so many people who go that long without eating despite having easy access to food.

@wrongthink @ryo You should also bring up how many PC gamers have all of their games on Steam (some won't even play games that aren't on it) which defeats the purpose of having an open platform.

@ryo It's probably going to take some time. Right now, everyone seems to be in the mindset that all crypto is dead or a scam.

Monero in particular has been painted by the MSM as some evil, neo-nazi, drug dealer, terrorist, pedophile currency, and nobody wants to go near it. It's why most clearnet marketplaces don't accept it because they don't want to be associated with that.

@PhenomX6 @ryo That and as I mentioned earlier, the FOSS community and the *nix community already has that left-leaning culture to it. They probably got their politics from them.

Most of the younger (tech-literate) authright/libright probably grew up with Windows and were most likely either apolitical or centrists during their youth. They probably screwed around with programs like RPG Maker or Flash during middle school, maybe took a few web design and programming classes in high school, and either majored in IT, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering in college or got an IT certification (assuming they had a post high school education). They probably got more into politics during GamerGate, the 2016 elections, and similar events going on at that time. This was basically the case with me, at least.

Windows isn't much of a tinkering OS compared to the many Unix-like operating systems, so they aren't as tech-savvy as the Unix trannies. They probably never bothered messing around with server-shit outside of gaming servers and any webdev experience was probably done on some shared-host. So when they finally start making some freeze-peach site, they just slapped some PHP code together and host it on AWS. That or they pay some free-lancer soydev to do it or just use some existing software out there while poorly maintaining it.

@neo @wrongthink @ryo Yeah, but I don't think you can run a Pleroma server on Windows.

@ryo @wrongthink
>all I got in return was "TEEHEE!! How do you think we would ever attract an audience on self hosted garbage!? LULZ!!".
That's why you host exclusive content on there. Styxhexenhammer, despite being a total retard and unworthy of the "libertarian" label, hosts bonus videos exclusively on his alt-tech accounts. Just do the same but on your own site.

But when they do have their own sites, it's always some shitty WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace garbage with Big Tech APIs (I think most Wordpress themes have them) and it's usually just links and/or a front-end for their merch store. For the love of God, HTML isn't that hard. You can even download HTML+CSS templates (just check for any Big Tech JS/CSS). You're not writing a program, you're just hosting document files on a computer connected to the internet. Unless you're also making a back-end for the site, it's not that complicated.

>Also, MAGAtards are just AuthRight

I know, but my point is is that everyone who wants to host content should try to self-host, regardless of political ideology.

@ryo Some other fedi user mentioned it earlier, but it's really embarrassing that LibLeft Unix trannies are hosting shit on their own self hosted sites while many of the AuthRight and LibRight folks (the ones who actually get deplatformed by big tech) are using inferior, centralized (or fake decentralized) platforms that are cuckflared, hosted on AWS, and/or are relying on APIs from Big Tech like ReCaptcha or Google Analytics. And these freeze-peach platforms just end up cucking out eventually.

@ryo @wrongthink Ancoms (and other left-libertarians) are free to use property to start communes under an ancap society but when I tried to explain this to them, they always tell me that their ideology needs to be a global thing, but I've met some left-libertarians who are more open to the idea of a libertarian unity.

@ryo @wrongthink Telegram is especially egregious because I've heard that many agorists are doing counter-economic trading on there of all places. I better hope that these people signed up using burner phones because God knows if Telegram will start reporting shit to the IRS (or their nation's equivalent).

>Also, most of the right leaning folks tend to be boomers, while the left leaning folks are typically millenials.
Well, I have no sympathy for the boomercons and MAGAtards. They keep on falling for shitty scams but they never learn. They only hear about these alt-tech platforms because their favorite AM radio host mentions it (the talk show host my conservative dad listens to constantly shills Rumble as THE free speech platform), but I expect more from the younger "dissident right" crowd, but it seems like they don't know much about tech outside of video production and building/upgrading gaming PCs. The closest thing to self-hosting they could ever do is run a Minecraft server.

@wrongthink @ryo Well the hacker community has always been pretty left-leaning and the FOSS movement has only solidified that (even though FOSS is also compatible with free-market principles). Even though there are companies who made profit out of it, the FOSS movement is still largely grassroots and grassroots activism is what LibLeft ideologies are supposed to be about, even though many people who claim to be anarcho-communist (or similar) these days tend to suck more government and corpo cock than anyone else.
