My latest post is on the Broken Fediverse

Might not be entirely accurate, due to misconfiguration instances. Source code is linked in the article.

@Forestofenchantment @ube During the beginning, he was hyping it as some world ending scenario. Granted, it was during the time when the right was fear mongering about it and anyone who talked about it was considered "racist", but still.

@Forestofenchantment @ube I stopped caring about him ever since he was proven dead wrong about COVID.

DNA STORAGE - Oh look the WEF are discussing how humans could be categorised & even rejected based on your genome sequence.

Handy that Labour has just announced the collection of every baby's DNA, all linked to Digital ID, to follow you for life

@icedquinn There are plenty of self-identified ancoms, ansynds, etc here unless you are saying that they are just tankies in denial.

@icedquinn How many people on here are unironic monarchists? The only one I can think of is amerika.

Despite the 'non-woke' framing Xlibre was forked under, it's a net good that a fork exists to take in the hundreds of PRs that the original project ignored.

Have they not learned the lessons of KeePassX? Why must they double down on the idea that every critic is some kind of bad actor who needs to be shot down? It's that kind of behaviour that created the fork in the first place.

>There's no way that there won't be carve outs to keep out 'extreme' positions like anti-war, anti-technocracy, anti-surveillance, etc out of the game.

I'm not betting that they are fully going to support free speech. At least the independent journalists I read and listen to are funded by other means.

@gabriel At least it means the end of words like "unalive".

The PC port of Mario Kart 64 is out

There's also already a functioning Dreamcast port

Reminder: The web you might miss of the 1990s or 20'00s is still out there!
So I feel no reason to miss it!

Its just that now these cottages lie within the shadow of corporate skyscrapers which dominate the skyline.

For all the vilification "the deep web" gets (not that there's a clear demarcation), I see most of the harm lying on the surface!

@TrueMasterCole @branman65 As someone who was actually around and aware of the gaming scene when the Dreamcast was around, I feel it has become the ultimate Overrated underrated console (the GameCube has also become a lesser version of this), because there really was not all that much excitement for the console back when it actually launched. As a game (ignoring the graphics) Sonic Adventure was considered massively inferior to something like Mario 64, Shenmue was overhyped and underdelivered, and while the console was considered to have plenty of good games, and brought some genuinely cool innovations (like Phantasy Star Online's online gameplay), it ultimately lacked that big System Seller which could have given it the necessary momentum to survive the PS2's arrival.

This universal Dreamcast Love we see today absolutely did not exist during 1998-2002. There's a reason it ended up with sub-Wii U sales.
