@Suiseiseki @eliseo01 @SuperDicq It seems like it's better to use proprietary software than to ever touch the evil cryptocurrencies, in his eyes.

@PurpCat @eliseo01 @Suiseiseki @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage The guy literally deleted a thread about some guy's calculator programming language, back when he was a moderator on the Omnimaga forums. He will literally go out of his way to destroy the lives of people he doesn't like.

Some of the stuff you find on the cplusplus.com forum is actually embarassing. I'm still learning how this language works and even I can tell like 95% of the answers posted there are wrong.

There's this Youtube video where someone reads a thread on there and it's... a trip. I can't find it in my history but I vividly remember watching it thinking the entire time that the next gen of software engineers is fucking doomed.

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @eliseo01@fe.disroot.org Don't forget that Drew also simply just removes repos form Sourcehut that he doesn't like.

He actually removed GNU Boot from Sourcehut for being a "hate fork" or something like that.

The latest estimates are that DOGE will only save 250 billion dollars and they plan to increase the defense budget by that amount so in other words they cut nothing and the military industrial complex gets everything

@PurpCat @S-Config @wowaname @RK7 @mrsaturday @Hephaestic It seems like everyone who has ever ran an imageboard ends up regretting it because the community ends up something completely different from what they intended (which is inevitable unless you use rules to enforce the culture you want) which just leads them to becoming backstabbers. Even before Christchurch you could clearly see that he was becoming disillusioned with 8chan.

@RK7 @PurpCat @S-Config @wowaname @mrsaturday @Hephaestic On one hand, I do get that he doesn't want his lasting legacy to be "the guy who created the Nazi pedo site that led to three mass shootings", especially given that people with his condition don't live very long. On the other hand, he killed a bunch of communities that had nothing to do with the shootings in the process and that led to many people giving up on imageboards entirely.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic Fredrick was actually going to bring that site back but things happen and now the domain redirects to one of the /leftypol/ bunkers as a joke.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic I always felt like having an IRC, Discord, Matrix, XMPP defeated the purpose of an anonymous imageboard.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic From what I've been told, before GamerGate it was used as a place for other altchans to create bunkers.

@wowaname @Milo @PurpCat @S-Config @RK7 @Hephaestic Virtually every gaming circle had at least one person talking about it. It may have caused a lot of people (not just 4chan) to leave certain communities after said communities made their official stance on the issues. It also brought attention to several alternative sites that would've never gotten popular otherwise (8chan being the most notable example). It truly did change Internet culture.

I think it was virtually impossible to ignore it as a gamer unless you're one of the few people who simply just play video games and never discuss them online or consume any gaming-relating content online.

The City of Houston has not added fluoridation chemicals to the water supply since at least 2019. Guess we're moving to Houston!

Got the hardest achievement done in Mr. Driller Online for XBLA.

Digging 5000M in North Pole infinity mode.

What makes it soo hard is you have to do quests in each level some of which consist of using no support items , limited to getting 2-3 air capsules. Having to get 9 block break combos, destroy 400 blocks etc.

If you fail an objective once you get an instant game over.

Got rank #264 on the global leaderboards too for doing it.

Game has been out since 2008 so I think rank #268 on a leaderboard that's been active for 17 years is pretty good.
