You guys are willing to waste money on a stupid pig meme but won't help your fedi gamedevs like me?

@bloodaxe We are not looking for money at the moment. Our expenses are covered (for the next 50 years, actually, if it doesn't get more expensive) and everything else just sits on the bank account unused. We would much prefer you donating to your favorite podcast(er)s instead, so they stay away from closed platforms and continue to offer the podcasts in the open RSS format.

@ActivistPost It's true. I went from K to College senior without ever knowing how to long divide.

@hj Meanwhile, Romero funds child mutilation, so I guess that balances it out.

Anyway this reminds me: Maybe webcomic artists should offer (payed or gratis) something like CBZ/ePub/PDF archives of their works possibly grouped together in volumes?

Like pretty sure I could mirror webcomic websites, but I'm sure less techie readers would love to also have offline copies.

@pettanko @beardalaxy I used to enjoy him back when he was the HVGN. I learned about a lot of underrated classics (like StarTropics) from him. I even enjoyed some of his SSFF videos as it got me to appreciate the development efforts of even the worst games and consoles.

man i sure do love watching videos that have really cool information in them told in an exciting and engaging manner only for the dude talking in it to feel the need to morally grandstand about how elon musk and john carmack are pricks at the end after reading off a sponsor for a fucking nft gambling game.

the type of person that will complain about games just not being the same as they used to while all the people who made those games so fuckin great get pushed out of the industry because they aren't in absolute lockstep with the progressive hivemind.

Using proprietary "AI" tools is one thing.

But allowing them run shell commands on your system without explicit manual approval for each command is a whole different can of worms.

@beardalaxy Can you summarize what he said about Carmack? I know Carmack is friends with Elon Musk, but what did Derrick say about him exactly?

@crunklord420 Isn't Torvalds infamously a complete idiot when it comes to IT stuff?

I want you guys to know that I almost bought an m5 macbook to raffle off for christmas but I found out that in Canada (and the US) you need a license to hold a raffle or lottery and it needs to be overseen by people trained by the government and shit. I literally had it in my cart and I was buying it and we were on VC and one of my friends encouraged me to look into the law. Almost ended up in prison fr
