@MechaSilvio @confederatehobo @sickburnbro My area has stores selling milk in glass bottles. You are expected to return the bottles after consumption and you get $2 back. It works as far as I can tell.

@gentoobro @PurpCat @jyushimatsu And that is also the problem because you need to have played a diverse library of games in order to be a good dev. Masahiro Sakurai even played the games he hated growing up just to learn what does and does not work.

You definitely can't have many other hobbies alongside game dev. Playing games included.

@matthew I used to work for my great uncle's electric company, doing data entry and he did not know what Microsoft Excel was. I used his Microsoft Word templates and manually calculated everything in the tables.

Are you a solopreneur, creator or small business owner?

What do you use for keeping track of income and expenses? A spreadsheet? Text files? Desktop or web software? Paid or free software?

Neither side will make housing affordable, at least not on purpose. To do that you need the price of houses to drop by around 80%. Yeah, current homeowners will get rekt, but they weren't complaining when they were getting magical "appreciation" money and getting free inflation money in the form of their mortgage. House prices will come down when mortgage rates stay high, like 10%+, for several years at least. Artificially low rates are what caused the housing price inflation in the first place.

As we approach a new S-election, we have an opportunity to question the status quo and pick apart the Propaganda being fed to the masses, particularly regarding "safety testing."

Have you ever wondered what’s really happening inside your muscles during that grueling workout? It turns out you’re not just building strength – you’re activating an amazing cellular cleanup crew. #weightlifting #fitness

NEW - The CCC warns that the German left-green-liberal government wants to "effectively end anonymity" and make all citizens "identifiable at all times and in all places," including by opening doors to Palantir and other surveillance software.

Just three more hours of being allowed to wear white left.

@BigDawg869789 I don't know. Closest to COD multiplayer I played with GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and I don't think those servers are active anymore.

@BigDawg869789 If you have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion subscription, you could try Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64 selection. The game has also been unofficially ported to PC with online multiplayer and should run on a potato.

everyone's a scumbag, everyone sucks

People who just want to sit around and get high all the time are scumbags who suck.

cut them out of my life

Without a second thought. They're going nowhere. You have limited time on this earth, and even more limited time while young and able. Getting high often as a young person is incredibly unwise.

@arc I don't think they really mean that they think everyone is a scumbag, but public gatherings do bring in at least a couple of people that could ruin it.

I think young people choose not to go because local festivals tend to attract older people and they might get looks from them if they attend, unless the young people in question are the types who grew up in a more rural environment.

There is also the issue that unless an event is explicitly adults-only, there are going to be people who will bring their children, and that could ruin the moment for some people, and the events that are adults-only probably have alcohol, recreational drug-use, strippers, and/or gambling which might turn some people off.

How many domain names your government needs to block in order to censor an entire network?

Bluesky: 1 domain name
Nostr: 680 domain names, but blocking 10 most popular relays and hosted clients would probably be enough to kill it
Fediverse: more than 20000 domain names

@PurpCat @jyushimatsu Just use N88-BASIC it's just essentially Microsoft BASIC, even down to having the same graphic APIs.
