We need more tech/magic crossover things, but not the modern gay kind, Im talkin space wizards fighting the armed forces of the world, that kind of cool stuff. I wanna see a tank get hit with a direct lightning strike, and a wizard in a horse drawn carriage whos firing fireballs get blasted by a tank.

why are so many homebrewers and mod/emulation devs turbo faggots?

this nifty software lets you connect 3rd party bluetooth controllers to the nintendo switch, which is awesome. a great feat in coding and super useful!

BUT IF YOU'RE RUSSIAN, it changes your controllers to yellow and blue because "glory to ukraine."

this reminds me of when call of duty warzone would tell you that black lives mattered every time you started a match. when you beat that shit into someone it stops being a nice little gesture and starts becoming annoying as shit and people begin to resent it.

Might as well post about myself and pin this:
Mid-late 20s, burnout almost. I feel like I wasted my life at times then I look at who I used to know and yeah it could be worse lmao.
Retrocomputing Enthusiast but not so much for skinwalking meme aesthetics, it's just modern tech is kinda shit. I have a lot of UNIX boxes and some Japanese computers.
>furfag, kinda on the fringes of the "scene" if I can say I'm even there. The fandom and scene these days pisses me off so I only say I'm one to piss off people on the fedi.
I need friends tbh
I keep having goals I need to finish tbh (but never do).

tired: overly polished meh website

The problem with the internet in general in 2023 is that there is no more being neutral or refusing to pick sides. You either pick a side, or you will be simping for an abusive drug addict who will cut you off when you say "No" once (the real N-Word in this part of the internet is actually no).

One day it's apolitical, the next it's shouting the magic words and saying why kids need to take HRT.

Not even kidding but the library book shelf at my college is fucking woke books about coronavirus and fake news and the 2016 election and internet cyberbullying and books about BLM and shit (I believe its intentionally eye-catching to bait people into "reading" but that shelf is never read from), you'd think its those autogenerated rightoid images of kids books but its so real, and for some reason book 1 and 2 of "It's not my fault im not popular" mangas really does not balance it out on the shelf.

This leaked internal jewgle memo is absolute AI whitepill. Free/Libre AI is blowing them the fuck out. https://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-neither

Canadian government: "Over 70% of Canadian citizens don't trust the official government narrative. We need to make questioning the official government narrative and posting any unapproved information illegal."

🚨#BREAKING: Massive explosion at a oil refinery plant with reports of multiple people injured

📌#Deerpark | #Texas

Currently, A large number of emergency crews and other agencies are responding to a massive explosion at a shell oil refinery plant in Deer Park, Texas with reports of multiple people have been injured as this plant produces multiple types of oils and gasoline. Thick black smoke can be seen miles away with multiple explosions being reported https://t.me/oslint_analysis/81059

You know, it's funny contrasting Mastodon/Pleroma and Bluesky as well.

Bluesky openly advertises Sandbox mode as something you can use when you're ready. Mastodon's documentation warns you that you should only use limited federation mode for corporate networks and the like and that it goes against the ethos. Pleroma just downplays it and shoves it in the list of settings.

But even more worryingly, they're going for the same kind of "supernode" network that fucked over gnutella towards the end when Limewire was hardcoded to only use their gnutella supernodes (which acted as a kill switch). Nowadays it's more likely it'd be used as a censorship mechanism rather than a killswitch.

I don't feel this is going to take off. As jank as AP is, it seems like a giant clusterfuck compared to AP or even StatusNet (which still works if you somehow want to use a jank php piece of shit).

You know, this is worrying me because it reminds me of LBRY in a bad way.

LBRY is very infamous for context because while it's decentralized, the documentation is deliberately incomplete and you can't exactly host your own nodes. The only P2P hosting is from LBRY clients, and the rest are all Reflector nodes hosted by Odysee and the like.

What they're pushing for is a "whitelist", a "federation of allies", or worse GMail. They want only people they can approve of to federate, they do not want people they do not like in their cool kids club. The silver lining is that it's going to die off at that rate because the thing keeping Poast/Gab/etc. going is they're "Twitter for people banned from Twitter" and BlueSky is "Twitter for people mad at Musk" which isn't the same by any means.

Look at ResetEra and how it's mocked by most of the internet for having the worst moderation of any website on the internet, where posting is walking on eggshells. BlueSky will never take off if it has the reputation of "ResetEra but social media" like mastodon.social has.

@xianc78 @scarlet @bartholin xna/monogames much less bloated, something like dust aet will run fine on a p4

Good news for all the software development shops that never completed their microservice architecture projects. Monoliths are back in style.
