Discord is not only shitty as a program. The general community and culture around it are fucking awful. It's filled with zoomer smoothbrains and predators.

All software eventually becomes open source. If it doesn't, it either fades into obscurity or an open-source lookalike replaces it. Take web browsers, for example. Google develops Chromium (which also powers Brave, Opera, and now even Microsoft Edge) because they realize that this gives them influence over their competition. Because they understand that everything eventually becomes open source.

If a piece of software is a good enough idea, someone will eventually, in their spare time, create an open source version of it. It could be simply out of interest, to learn, or because they want to gain influence. Take Mastodon vs Twitter for example. Mastodon was created by a young man in his free time, and it's now in the ring with a $42bn company. It was able to do this specifically because it's open source, which stoked the enthusiasm of other technologists who self-hosted and made it happen. You will see how "Post News" and "Tribel" or whatever, have quickly burned up in the sun in the aftermath of Elon Musk's yesterday drama.

Everything eventually becomes open source because it can be. The reason people climb mountains is because they can. If you want to play the short game in an already flooded market, you are free to take your chances and build a secret project in a secret lair that nobody will ever find out about. Or you can start playing the long game from the very start and just build it open source. It would be a missed opportunity not to.

People who believe in mythical things like man-made climate change or that socialism can work are not necessarily evil; just stupid. Willful ignorance is not a moral crime, and it is your God given right to believe whatever idiocy you want.

The moral crime occurs when you try to manipulate or force others into your ideology. *Activists* are at the root of the most evil acts being perpetrated today.

So I've heard that some mothers give their teenage daughters birth control to suppress their periods.

What the fuck?! You are going to fuck up your daughter fertility just to suppress natural processes?!

I just remembered this little homebrew existed... fitting since I've been on a bit of an F-Zero kick recently.

HuZero is... F-Zero on TurboGrafx-16? Sort of... less of a racing game, more of a "can you outlast the timer without wrecking yourself" sort of thing.

Essentially a Score Attack game at its core - I believe that's the norm for these "Caravan" types, but it's been a while since the last time I played a significant number of those.

Did you know Tesla has cameras both on the outside of vehicles and the inside, and everything is uploaded to Tesla? Anyhoo they’ve been exporting the videos, making memes of customers and then posting them on chat rooms. reuters.com/technology/tesla-w

*************START LUPIN RANT FOR 50 MOST HATED THINGS********************
1] Idiot teens hanging out in front of 7'11s, KFC, McDonalds, Jack In The Box
etc... Your life REALLY SUCKS if that's the high point of your day...
2] A$$holes who spit on the sidewalk.

5] People with personalized licence plates.
6] BMX bikes.
7] People panhandling me. Get a job losers! McDonalds is always hiring!
8] Bums with dogs. I'm sure the dog loves eating cheese from old pizza boxes.
9] The cheeseheads from asia who take a Honda Civic, slap some stickers on it,
put a muffler on it that makes it sound like a riding lawnmower, a ridiculous
sized fin on the back and think they have a formula 1 racer. 'Devastating
Power!' my a$$!
10] The same idiots who then drive their 'hot' civic like they are in the Indy
500 through busy traffic.
11] The huge complex hairdos on african american women, 5 layers, 6000 curls, 4
sprouting areas, 200 dangling bits, 6000 beads, air conditioning and enough
hairspray in it that it wouldn't move if Hurricane George hit it.
12] People with Kleenex, plants, knitted blankets, stuffed animals, or lacey
things in their cars rear window. I should be allowed to pull over and shoot
them.
13] People on the bus who talk so loud your forced to hear about their pointless
lives.
14] Crappy parkers who park their car REALLY close to the painted line so that
you have half a foot to get out.
15] Those old cars (ie, Cadillacs, Lincoln Town Cars, etc...)usually white for
some strange reason... with the acient driver who always drives WAY under the
speed limit.
16] People who write a cheque for a $2 bag of nachos at Safeway.
17] Corvettes, Comaros and Firebirds. Come on, the 80s are OVER!
18] A$$hole tailgaters.
19] Idiots who think they can pedal a bike as fast as a car, so they ride in the
middle of a traffic lane. You should be allowed to run them over, it looks like
natural selection to me.
20] Teenagers on television news reports expressing their opinions on something.
If your under 18 I don't give a sh1t about what you have to say...
21] The singer Brandy, Celine Dion, all the divas....
22] Twits who wear a huge parka outside when its sunny and a mild 5-10 C. The
same thing goes with the whole scarf thing.
23] Muni busses that smell like urine. Which is most of them.
24] Corporate Broadcasting logos in the corner of the channel your watching.
25] Web pages that pop open other pages and windows and then disable your 'back'
button.
26] People who walk around with a huge 'portable' stereos blaring, sharing their
music with everyone around them. Usually crap rap.
27] Junk mail.
28] Peice of sh1t cars that spew out huge noxious clouds behind them.
29] People that throw out huge items on the curb expecting the garbage people to
remove it. Like old dirty matresses. They don't of course, and it sits on the
curb for weeks.
30] Budweiser beer and the people who drink it. I'd rather suck the piss out of
a pig... Its time to poison the bud.
31] Drivers who turn onto the road RIGHT in front of you causing you to slam on
the brakes, even though there is no one for hundereds of feet behind you.
32] People who drive 3/4 in one lane and 1/4 in another... what the hell is
that????
33] Religous people who push their drivel on you when your walking down the
street. Or come knocking on your door.

36] Those stupid add banners from Geocities on the Internet when you hit
someones home page going through them...
37] All country music.
38] Minivans.
39] People who spray paint their names on rocks, signs, trees etc, in national
parks. Like I care that Bill graduated in 86.
40] Small yappy 'feeder' dogs. Like little Yorkies, poodles, etc...
41] People in the fast lane who drive just 2 km/hr faster than the guy in the
'slow' lane, dawdling along.
42] Film crews making bad movies most people doent want to see blocking the
streets and being annoying.
43] Big fat bugs that splat on my windshield.
44] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on men, they are usually sooooo
tight, you can tell if they are cirumcised.
45] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on 90% of the women. Big fat a$$es
and *wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide* camel toes.
46] Those really annoying commericals from Rogers Cable that tell you all about
the 'evils' of satalite tv and how lucky you are to be getting cable for a mere
$65 a month.
47] Commercials that are SO bad on tv, you have to wonder about the sh1t for
brains who thought them up. Like the Old Navy commericals, or the old as hell
commercial for Sarah Lee, that is STILL ON THE AIR, 'let them eat cake' and 'But
Patrick, I'm to old for life insurance.' Shoot them ALL!
48] Losers that listen to totally cheezy radio stations and then slap dozens of
their stupid stickers all over thier car.
49] Lilith Fair. I say when they are all hugging, listening to the music,
sharing tampons, and bitching about how evil men are, toss in a few hundered
grenades while recording it on camera. Sell the video as a 'To Hot for TV' tape
late at night.
50] Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive
menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers
keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.
51] DVD manufactureres that sell their DVDs for $40 and up, just because they
know people will pay for it. DVDs have actually become MORE expensive than when
they first came out.
52] Nintendo and everything about them.
53] Old people who clog up the sidewalk walking super slow when you want to get
somewhere.
54] Looking at demo-reels at work that are so incredibly bad, that I just want
to call them up and tell them to go f*ck their demo reel and to never EVER send
another one out to anybody. EVER.
55] Spiders. All spiders. Everyone of them.
56] How on the Nintendo 64 game machine, half the damn titles for it are called
'miscvidgame 64'. Why not come up with a real name? Why is everyone just
slapping a 64 on all the games?
