Rights Are Not Gifts from Government: The Founders' View
Rights don’t come from a constitution, a bill of rights, or any document at all. Your natural rights - come from your creator - and you have them by the nature of your humanity. Even civil rights - are built on the foundation of natural rights. These were widely-held views from the founders and old revolutionaries.

@mrsaturday There are literally hundreds of free hosting websites everywhere.

You can even put a 10USD Raspberry Pi next to your router and host something.

Seriously, I would be surprised if there are more people who still have this thing pre-ordered than there are people who cancelled their pre-orders.

Quite a shame because I was excited for this thing at one point. I really wanted an OpenPandora back in the day because I thought it was the coolest thing ever, an open-source handheld game console that also acted as a full-fledged Linux PC. Plus, it supported Pygame which was what I was using at the time, and I always loved the idea of having my games running on a console or handheld. But that thing was discontinued by the time I was able to afford one, so all I could do was wait for the Pyra, and we all know how that turned out.

Trying to explain the infinite debt cycle to people really fits the saying "but what is water".

These people do know what is inflation, and that saving money is nowdays impossible. But when I told them, that we should get rid of inflation in order to make sacing possible, they immediately jump to "but that would stop muh infinite growth"..

And what do you think this infinite growth is? It is literally the number going up, since the value of it is going down. You are talking about inflation. I want to stop it.

But muh seniors won't be able to live off their sons income. Yes!!! That is bad. It's literally an intergenerational debt. I just said, that I don't want debt....

These people can no longer even imagine an inflation free world.

There is now a native Linux version of God's Disdain! I'm still looking for testers, so if anyone is interested in helping out send a message and I'll get you a key.

For those who are unaware, God's Disdain is a ~25 hour non-linear RPG. It utilizes 2D graphics and features a rich world with lots of quests, unique NPCs, and dungeons. Inspirations are mainly Dragon Quest and Elder Scrolls.

God's Disdain launches March 14th (9 AM Pacific) and will be free to play! It has no DRM and no file encryption.

It is a passion project that started development in October of 2015, and I am very excited for more people to play it!
