I find it weird that the only Sonic game I own and have played extensively is the one that most Sonic fans have probably never even played.

NEW PODCAST! 🎙🛂🇳🇱

Dutch journalist and podcaster Rico Brouwer discusses the fallout of COVID-19 and his successful legal battle against the Dutch state to protect the rights of independent journalists to film court cases, framing it as a victory against government overreach. He talks EU, WW3, and also comments on the Great Reset project to strip us of our assets, citing examples in Holland of unrealized capital gains proposals. Given his background in IT, he touches on the loss of individual agency in a cloud-based digital economy. Finally, he pays tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, reflecting on the changing landscape of independent media and the proliferation of influence operations within the podcasting space. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2026/08/04/rico-covid-dutch-freedom-eu

@coolboymew Just be warned that even secessionist movements can be co-opted or straight up crushed by feds. Just ask the libertarians in New Hampshire.

Argued with a dumbass that thinks that the future of the world is globalization in the sense of old massive empires forming instead of the obvious balkanization that is likely to happen (In context to Québec separating, because that has a chance to actually bring change instead of voting in the fucking federal elections)

No Farmers, No Food

Glad you like the idea of people growing their own food. But go even further. Support the mass scale food growers - our farmers. They urgently need your support right now. Farmers are the backbone of society. Because no farmers, no food.

TempleOS - "Our mission is to be a modern Commodore 64."

I consider Terry Davis a part of "retro" era internet now. He always reminded me of a master mechanic/electrician who actually wanted to train you in the trades, (a dying breed).

He explained things straight up, but with the intention that you learned something because he wanted to see you succeed.

(btw being a Terry Davis video, yes please be advised of profanity :guilded_lol: )

Thomas Jefferson told us – Nullification isn’t just a good idea. It’s not a suggestion.
It’s THE WAY to stop the feds.

@xianc78 @PurpCat Evercade is not a bad idea but I have yet to see any of this shit locally. Evercade would be the perfect thing for carts to appear in random stores but they just don't

@coolboymew @PurpCat I saw their home console at a local used game store. They even had some games still in plastic wrap, so they probably got it new. I may have also saw some Super Pocket (not officially part of the Evercade brand but are compatible with the cartridges) systems being sold, but I can't remember exactly.

The official site says that GameStop and BestBuy are official distributors, but I never see them there.

@PurpCat Those Chinese emulation handhelds require CFW to emulate anything post-PS1 because the stock firmware is always trash. I have three of them and they all have the same problem except for one that runs an Android fork.

While not strictly the same thing as the Chinese emulation handhelds, I would also bring up the Evercade brand of consoles/handhelds as something that could potentially become popular, but they are held back by the fact that 90% of their library are re-releases that are available literally everywhere else. I wish their were more original indie titles on the thing. There are, but they come out only once in a blue moon. I thought about getting one for my brother and his daughter because he said that he will never buy any Nintendo product due to their bad business practices. I thought that the Evercade would be perfect, but the library is just too subpar in my opinion.

@PurpCat We are going to be like Brazil where the most popular consoles will be dedicated consoles with built-in Master System games.

Mr Penguin

France now has "automated, real-time piracy blocking".

"The system allows for instant blockades during live sports broadcasts, with oversight checks from regulator ARCOM being applied afterward rather than before. "

I can't wait to see the internet totally and utterly collapse. These censorship fanatics will finally get what they deserve.

Meanwhile umm the "problem" will almost certainly go on. It's not like the internet is necessary for piracy. It's merely the most convenient conduit for it at the moment, but even that is unlikely to continue indefinitely. That is to say it's not that the censors will win, but that other methods already exist that are far superior.

In even more totalitarian states likes North Korea, Cuba, and elsewhere they're already utilizing a far more convenient system for piracy.

In Cuba they pass around content using hard drives and there are data brokers. Once a week someone comes by and copies the data you want for a small fee. This might sound less convenient, but instant access beats streaming. For someone in a wealthier country that same system doesn't require a weekly visit either.

There is a well known historical saying amongst the nerds:

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway" - Andrew Tanenbaum in 1981.

This saying highlights that SneakerNet (physically transporting storage media) can offer higher effective data transfer rates than network connections for large datasets.

In spite of rising storage costs in recent months the price per terabyte for data is nothing by comparison to the number of films, tv shows, music, and other media that can be stored.

Every major hollywood film fits onto a single modern hard drive. This is even more true of music.

@menherahair Here's an even bigger hot-take: by banning vibe coded projects, you are ensuring that the model collapse never happens because the people running said LLMs would point the scrappers to your repros in particular, so they will always be trained on human generated code.

menherahair :redeyeorb:
new chodeberg hot take: free software source repos can and should be more distributed so it's fine to disallow content on technicalities, in fact llm projects could likely benefit from a dedicated platform. the crypto thing, in turn, is counterproductive: casting crypto projects into their own bubble where they're less likely to be beholden to common decency will only encourage the technology to be abused further
