the openmandriva forums are currently down after lunduke made a video saying they weren't woke

@djsumdog He used to publish his articles in HTML, but switched to PDF format later on. I assume it's to make the articles easier to download and republish.

Federal toxicology researchers on Monday finally published a long-controversial analysis that claims to find a link between high levels of fluoride exposure and slightly lower IQs in children living in areas outside the US, mostly in China and India.

@djsumdog No video, but our favorite schizo painter has yet another article on why it might be a psyop.

Is there any actual video of the New Orleans guy actually driving an F-150 through the crowd? The German attack had actual video. The CNN video only contains the aftermath with all the bodies blurred out ... and people are casually walking by the scene like nothing happened .. like they think it's just a scene being filmed.

The news is not to inform you. The news is to condition you.

A bill filed in the Oklahoma Senate would significantly expand the types of gold and silver recognized as legal tender in the state and repeal the state capital gains tax on bullion sales. If passed, it would build on previous steps to reestablish constitutional money, positioning the people of Oklahoma to actively challenge the Federal Reserve’s fiat monopoly.

Sen. Shane Jett filed Senate Bill 284 (SB284). In 2014, Oklahoma took the first step and declared gold and silver coins issued by the United States government are legal tender in the State of Oklahoma. That bill also expanded the sales tax exemption on gold and silver. SB284 would improve and clarify the definition of specie legal tender.

The language in the new definition retains the definition of gold and silver bullion coins issued by the U.S. government as legal tender and explicitly specifies that “legal tender may be used to pay public debt in this state.” In effect, this would require the state to accept gold and silver for payment of taxes, fees, and other obligations.

Oklahoma is among five states that have legally recognized gold and silver as legal tender, as they always should have been doing. Utah led the way, reestablishing constitutional money in 2011. Wyoming, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana have since joined.

@Mr_NutterButter It all goes back to 1913 with a passing of a certain act.

Seems kinda obvious that GOG would work with a hardware company to make a GOG Handheld

A GOG Galaxy branded handheld would make more sense than the Steam Deck, even, since GOGs whole gimmick is offline DRM free gaming

The war on porn has started up again. For those old enough to remember and those concerned about the attacks on freedom of the past hundred plus years (and not just porn, but right to travel, financial freedom, speech, youths right to work/independence, etc) there is a new case to be decided at the US Supreme Court that could end up restricting your access to porn on the internet (yes again, several supreme court cases of the 90s ruled repeatedly you can't burden adults access to porn for the sake of 'protecting' youth). This law would effectively require sites to ID users as adults if primarily distributing porn. It would not apply to sites like Reddit however and of course you can't enforced anti-porn laws outside your legal jurisdiction anyway making it effectively a mute and stupid law that doesn't 'protect' kids assuming we take the 'think of the children' psycos at their word porn somehow harms kids who are if we are honest with ourselves don't care cause they haven't hit puberty and those that have are NOT children! Not to mention what this law actually does is punish the US operators of porn sites by pushing them to move porn sites to jurisdictions outside the United States or in this case at least Texas:

I think gamedevs should try to port their game to as many platforms as possible. This isn't the days of physical media where you have to buy/produce separate CDs/floppies/cartridges for a different platform and see if they would sell, so there is really no excuse not to port your game to a certain platform anymore. Even if one version doesn't sell, it isn't a loss because it's all information.

@creamqueen @grumbulon @djsumdog @Humpleupagus @zero Microsoft gets a cut of the profit made from hardware manufacturers who sell computers with Windows pre-installed.

@beardalaxy And I thought you replied to a different post of mine. My bad.

We have some terrible news. Breastmilk.club, the instance that hosts KF01 and KF01 Studios, will be shutting down by week’s end. As of now we have no instance to migrate to and are considering taking a lengthy hiatus using this opportunity to revitalized and revamp our company image.
It has been a great joy posting with you all and we hope that future opportunities are presented to us to continue this experience.

Thank you
KF01 and KF01 Studios

@BlinkRape He created the mostr.pub bridge and some client that uses the same UI as Soapbox.

From what I've been told, he is the only Nostr dev that is competent and is actively dealing with the CP and spam issues.

@BlinkRape The creator seems to be anonymous like the creator of Bitcoin.

@beardalaxy I have a Nostr account, though I rarely use it. I rarely see any spam on there, but that's probably because I use web-clients like Iris that probably filter all the bad accounts and relays. I never pay attention to the demographics there, but I did notice quite a few Japanese users. I've noticed that Twitter alternatives (decentralized or otherwise) seem to be very popular in Japan for whatever reason.
