@cnx I know that some GitLab instances allow static site hosting for projects just like GitHub, which is a plus for me. I don't know if Gitea has this though.

I already use Disroot for XMPP (which I rarely use). Their TOS seems a bit too restrictive last time I checked, and the background pictures of some of their pages give off antifa vibes despite them claiming to allow anyone regardless of ideology.

@lanodan I think Tron (the sequel that I don't know the name of on the top of my head) shows basic on the terminal.

@ryo @PhenomX6 @orekix I also really hate how the LibLeft likes to use Web3 and crypto to shit on capitalism. For Web3, they just view it as corporations having more control over the Internet (which is true to an extent, but a blockchain doesn't have to be run by a corporation). I've heard many claims that Web3 is just a symptom of "late stage capitalism".

They view crypto as a scheme for the rich to evade taxes and that the "real solution" is to abolish money entirely (I guess they don't want to be proven that money can exist without a state or a central bank).

@wrongthink @PhenomX6 @orekix @ryo Same. I thought it would also refer to things like WebTorrent and IPFS, but it seems like everyone refers it to shit like NFTs and blockchains instead of traditional databases.

I really wanted ZeroNet to be the future despite all its flaws. It was the most "normie friendly" P2P web out there. But that project died ever since the failed 8chan bunker back in 2019. I assumed most of the users of said bunker would be smart enough to use VPNs or Tor but apparently not.

I've seen leftist bugpeople tout this argument for years, but the one thing they fail to consider is that the very person they're mocking likely didn't have a strong familial base to begin with, they didn't have a good father figure in their lives to set them on the right path. And although IDGAF about Jordan Peterson this is the very reason he's as popular as he is, somehow leftists just can't understand that. Which is ironic because many of them hated their "traditional" parents as well.

I never realized how piss easy it is to create a stack-based programming language. This will definitely be useful for gamedev when I make more complex games (games that require scripting for events or AI). But for now, it makes a good resume/portfolio booster.

@ryo @PhenomX6 @orekix Tech wasn't just started by hobbyists. There were also universities involved. It was a combination of hobbyists, investors, universities, and non-profits. We just need the right balance again.

@admin @ArdainianRight @Svantovit You would expect them to do it during a pride parade because that would've caused more outrage.

jontron can make shit like this in a video (no this is not edited), have 3 million views and get away with it, somehow not causing any controversy or widespread twitter meltdown.
how does he do it?

@cnx Well everything I have on there is public domain anyway (I was a teenager and under the impression that minors can't hold copyright) and they are just bad clones of Atari 2600 games written in Python.

Though since, I'm going back to programming projects what alternatives do you suggest? I know there's GitLab but I heard it's behind CloudFlare and I can't self-host my own Git server right now.

@lanodan So basically most portable consoles before the DS.

I worry that ordinary people are treating technology more and more like magic, not giving any thought to the massive conglomerates doing all sorts of nonsense behind the scenes, and not understanding that it doesn't have to be like this. Computers aren't magic, they bleed, they can be destroyed!

@sjw What American? America died in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve.
