Imagine if emergency services were exclusively app-based.
Imagine your house is set on fire, you try to call a fire fighter, and an automatic voice says "I'm sorry, but due to an increasing number of calls, you have to download the emergency service app from the Crap Store or Play Store", and you have no iOS or Goolag Android.

What are you supposed to do?
Let your house just get burned to the ground?

That's why we better stop turning literally everything into a smartphone app!
Stop the New World Order! Throw away your smartphone!

So the schizo who ran the PC-98 Discord got thrown out, and now he's threatening to report to Japanese gaming companies the Neo Kobe old Japanese game archives because if he can't be the inactive leader of a Discord server than nobody can.

Which means that me and a few friends are going to be seeding the collections since IA has torrents :)

Not to subpost too hard, but in what universe is making unsolicited DM groups and force inviting people who by their own admission wish only to be left alone ever an OK thing to actually do? This is the third or fourth time something like this has happened to me at least, and I'm very glad fedi as a platform generally has the courtesy not to do this compared to certain proprietary chat programs which shall remain unnamed here /vent

guys who have the time to argue about programming languages instead of actually getting things done with their only point being "its just bad" should lynch themselves, and i mean it.

@Nirty_Digger the crazy thing is that literally everywhere i live is hiring for much higher wages than they used to, places are cutting their hours drastically, and you can't even order a damn pizza for delivery at 7pm because there are no drivers. there are pizza places deadass hiring drivers for $20/hr.

Does anyone have any experience buying used computers at Goodwill? I just need a Windows PC just to run Spring Tools Suite because the Linux version is apparently broken and I don't want to give money to Microsoft directly (they get a cut out of every Windows PC sold).

I'm considering biting the bullet and getting a separate Windows laptop for work, but I really hate how Windows 11 is even worse than 10 and I don't want to support Microsoft for that.

In case you want proof the WEF people are on cloud nine, here's a section about creativity. I think we can all agree there hasn't been an art explosion except in bad "protest" art from furries drawing fetish fueled "fuck cops" images.
