What type of series (be it books, movies, or video games) do you prefer? Would you rather have a series that could theoretically go on forever (e.g Mario, Call of Duty, etc) or a series with a definitive end-point (e.g Earthbound/Mother, most book series etc.).

Is it possible to get anyone over the age of 40 to change their views on anything? It seems like once you've reached a certain age, you think you have all the knowledge and wisdom and you refuse to believe anything different.

TIL as a programmer:

I hate MSVC now :) It makes sense why everyone uses MinGW now.

I am starting to think a lot of the myths Rust cultists believe about C are actually just because Microsoft does not know how to write a compiler.

re: Proprietary software censorsing people automatically 

@mangeurdenuage The idiots on the receiving end of this spent the last 10 goddamn years playing hall monitor for the establishment just so they could get the dopamine hit from seeing the "other side" get punished. We REPEATEDLY tried to warn them that there was going to be a time that the beast they loved feeding so much was going to turn on them, that they were the pets rather than the masters, and they sneered and scoffed. Even now their only problem with Elon was that he took one of their favorite toys away and STOPPED censoring in a way they enjoyed.

They can rot in hell.

Proprietary software censorsing people automatically 

Reminder that no matter what "political" side you're on, they can do this to you.
What is legal today will not be tomorrow.

Reminder that only software and hardware freedom will avoid this dystopia.

Can anybody tell me if GhostBSD or FreeBSD has a GUI disk partition program available ? For instance on Linux I would use Gnome Disk Utility or Gparted.

The Federal Reserve's trillion dollar printing presses will eventually plunder the world economy. It must be abolished.

Dear open-source developers:

If your issue tracker is in a closed platform like Discord, then you don’t have an issue tracker.

More to the point, if a person who wants to look at your source code, documentation, release notes, or bug list is required to create an account or log in somewhere, then your project is not open-source.

Except when his opponents do it, right?

Look, I don't like the world's largest defense contractor who wants to chip your brain and force you to pay a useless carbon tax either, but you can argue against his actual policies without degrading yourself to stupid salute antics.

I get that you should be supportive of your family in whatever they do, but I think you can draw the line when it comes to activism, especially if it's a cause that you do agree with, can never relate to, and/or outright despise.

Being forced to support a family member's activism means that they will have a certain degree of influence or control over your life. For example, if you have a family member who is a gun control activist, you shouldn't let that stop you from purchasing and owning a gun if you wish, but I know several people who were pressured to give up their guns because their younger relatives decided to become activists after watching David Hogg.

It could also affect your career and your financial life. I've known several people who were offered high paying jobs but were threatened to be cut off by their activist family members because the business in question had an owner or CEO that was openly right-wing or something like that.

Always remember that you are your own person and you shouldn't let your family members' politics get in the way of how you want to live your life.

💰 Wyoming Senate passes SF96, requiring the state to hold gold & silver reserves.

A step toward financial security, diversification, and independence from the Fed’s failing fiat system.

Next up: House committee. 🏛️👇

huh, apparently you have to manually release your game on steam and the date you put down for people to see is literally just for displaying on the storefront.

that's a bit of pressure lol. i wish it would just automatically release itself. i can kind of understand why that's not the case though.
