This week's donation went to a software developer named Vince Liuice. He contributes to a variety of themes, including the Matcha GTK theme which is my favorite. Others he works on include Plasma Themes, GTK3/4 Themes, Global Themes, Artwork such as Icons, Cursors, Wallpapers, Add-ons, and Extensions.
His work and code can be found at Github, Pling, and Gitlab:

if you wish to help him financially he accepts donations through Paypal:
I honestly wish that Nostr succeeded because despite it's reputation, it's a brilliant concept. I think the biggest problems with the Fediverse are the fediblock culture and instance fatigue. Having accounts that aren't bound to a single server forces everyone to judge people on an individual basis and doesn't force people to create a new account elsewhere if their instance shuts down.
But of course, everything nice has to be ruined by pedos and scammers.

WHY YOU SHOULD PAY CASH
WHEN YOU PAY DIGITALLY MOST OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE BANKS NOT YOUR COMMUNITY!
"I copied this from someone else. Very interesting and it really made me stop and think about using cash more often.
I have really never thought of this has anyone else?
💲Please understand what NOT
using cash is doing.
Cash is important. 💸
Why should we pay cash everywhere we can
with banknotes instead of a credit card? 💳
- I have a $50 banknote in my pocket.
Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping.
After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made...
- But if I come to a restaurant and pay digitally - Card, and bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner re laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber etc.....
Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 will remain only $5 😫 and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank 🏦 thanks to all digital transactions and fees.
Small businesses need your help and this is one way to help ourselves too. Pull small draws of cash out at a time and use that instead of tap, credit, etc.
When this is put into perspective, imagine what each retailer is paying on a monthly basis in fees at 3% per transaction through their POS machine.
If they have, for example, $50,000 in sales & 90% are by Card, they are paying $1500 in fees in ONE Month. $18,000 in a year! That comes out of their income every month.
That would go a long way to helping that small business provide for its family!🏦♥️" got this from a good friend"

Does anyone have any experience with OpenStreetMap uMaps? Can you create a map that anyone can contribute to? Also, which is the best host for uMaps (in both service quality and having a lax enough ToS)?

Are There Any Non-Woke Operating Systems?

@RustyCrab The smartphone is literally the perfect device for them because the file-system is hidden, most apps are cloud-integrated, and there are no extra peripherals to set up.

There is no way you could portray the rejection of smartphones as a boomer view. Boomers are equally hooked on that ecosystem as everybody else and probably suffer more because of it.
@mischievoustomato @RustyCrab I'm glad my bank doesn't require an app at all.
Apparently, if you submit your game to the ESRB and the word "cunt" is used at all, then they will automatically give you an AO rating.
This means that this one game that I would like to make that would most likely have a T rating would be rated AO because the word "cunt" would be used.
People seriously need to drop the negative stigma of that word. I honestly hear "nigger" being used more than the word "cunt". It's pathetic.
@PurpCat @ArdainianRight @rher @SaltWraith @YTFoidLover1488 Emulators don't need to take into account the limitations of the original hardware because what they are really doing is just interpreting bytecode.

i want nntp to come back but like slightly better
@ArdainianRight @rher @SaltWraith @YTFoidLover1488 To show that they do try to destroy everything, but to be fair, you don't have to play it. As long as the original ROM is being distributed (which is forever), you can still play that.
The real problem is when you have new fan-translations of previously untranslated games and the Discord trannies decide to change some of the original text to fit their agenda.

Ragebait is trite and overdone. Maybe try posting about your hobbies? You didn't let the internet dopamine machine turn rageposting into your hobby, right anon?
@ArdainianRight @rher @SaltWraith @YTFoidLover1488 Case in point, the "gender-neutral" ROM hacks for older Zelda games.

@Marbleturtle A modded Vita or any of the emulation handhelds that can emulate at least up to the N64 is all you need.

Added a blue sword, which is even stronger than the white sword. There is no shop item for it yet, and as you can see in the video, there is no HUD icon for the blue sword either.

Created a new room layout. Zelda 1 had water-maze rooms, and I realized that mine didn't so I created one. Though I am kind of limited because the key will always be placed in a random room and the room coordinates for the key (in tiles) is always (10, 5), so I have to accommodate that when designing rooms like this.

Happy New Year.
I don't do "new year's resolutions", I do goals and experiments.
The difference between a resolution and a goal is that a goal is about establishing where you want to end up, so that you remember to keep taking concrete steps in that direction. A resolution is about trying to talk yourself into staying motivated. A resolution is a tacit admission that you are not in control of yourself, and I am, so I don't make resolutions.
Experiments are a third category. An experiment is when you decide to TRY a certain lifestyle change to see if it "works" to carry you toward your goals without serious side-effects.
For New Year, I decided to begin some experiments:
1. I'm stopping the use of twitter because growing an account there is so slow that I'm not motivated to invest the time, and it's a slop-factory which is wasting my time doing anything else. This is actually not starting an experiment but rather ending one, which I started about 6 months ago to see if I could grow my twitter account.
2. I moved my computer into my office and for the most part, I'm leaving it here. As I type to you now, I'm in the office. My long term DREAM is to have a tech-free personal life and keep my computer equipment in an office setting for work purposes only.
It's been 5 days and this experiment has already helped me to understand that dream better. I don't have a TV in the living room, so without the computer I don't have access to YouTube. My YouTube feed is fairly high quality because I don't watch very often and I subscribe to interesting and informative channels. I don't think TV belongs in the living room, but it might be that this lifestyle is better with a home theater room of some kind.
Obviously I can watch YouTube in the office, as I'm writing to you now, but I am making a conscious effort to enter the office with objectives, and leave when those objectives are complete.
So far, I've been significantly more productive than I had before so I'm counting that as a win. Because this is an experiment, I can learn from it and make changes to it as I go, something I intend on doing.
So anyway, Happy New Year and this is why I might be posting a little bit less.
