when people say we need to pass a law to protect kids it's pretty reliable that the world would be better if you put those people in the ground instead.

they're usually fascists, and the children are just the vehicle of consent.

Also check out the official USAIDs beneficiary arrest counter and the official covid crimes against humanity arrest counter! Oh yeah, there's also the official death threats to trump and trump voters counter, too.

@vokainen099 I just think the past few years have been a major catalyst. The whole "you will own nothing" narrative, Windows 11 integrating AI into the OS along with their cloud-only version, and the Steam Deck making more game developers take Linux seriously.

It's not just PewDiePie. SomeOrdinaryGamer started to use Linux more and he was someone who has called Linux users "the vegans of computer users" for years.

Gamers are probably the biggest group of computer users who actually care about digital rights, outside of freetards because they know firsthand what it is like to be mistreated by big tech corporations. After the fiasco with Stadia and before that, OnLive, they probably saw the writing on the wall with Windows 365 Link.

Now that PewDiePie has made Linux mainstream. I now feel comfortable about never porting my games to Windows.

Gajim 2.0.0 has been released 🎉

Gajim migrated its user interface toolkit to GTK 4, which brings performance improvements and sets the ground for great features to follow. ⏩

Additionally, this release brings improved image previews, better tools for fighting spam, and much more.

All of these changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you. ❤️

@matrix I don't think any model is immune to model collapse.

@sendpaws Mozilla shills are insane. They were mass downvoting posts on reddit suggesting Librewolf or water fox because they were "bad faith forks", "not really open source" (?), "were owned by companies", or where unsafe because "no one has checked the source code yet to see if its secretly malware"

Modern Monitory Theory is the idea that if you have sovereign control of your money, you can just print more. This theory is insane. More USD was issued (in the form of real currency, not loan backed reserves) between now and 2020 than in all of America's history. It's insane and a massive devaluation of everyone's money. It's the reason that the floor of a single family home grew from $250k to over $300k in most areas.

Governments have been uncontrollably adding to their money supplies for the past few years, but not adding actual value. Everyone suddenly decided "Hey, Japans insane GDP to debt ration is a great idea!" .. it's a death spiral ... possibly even an intentional one. A planed demolition.

@lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Genesis/Mega-Drive programming might be easier because I know for a fact that it is possible to write games for it in C (judging from an unofficial CaveStory port). I don't know if there are any C compilers that support the SNES's architecture.

There isn't a single founder who ever said that the way to respond to massive, ongoing, long-standing violations of the constitution - was to wait to get more good people in congress to turn it around.

Not one. Ever.

Instead, the people of the several states need to refuse to comply, resist and nullify - that's THE RIGHTFUL REMEDY - to usurpations of power by the federal government.

Anything less than that? will be temporary, at best.

@lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Pygame has a built-in sprite module which makes managing game objects much easier. It's my go to recommendation for a beginner who wants to get into game programming, but doesn't want to use a full-blown engine. Speed might be an issue, but it's decent for SNES/GBA-styled games.
