Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of tech... Why?

I just realized how many itch.io games/projects have the "Olivia Hill Rule". And for those who don't know what that is, it's basically just like those CoCs you see in a lot of FOSS projects, but somehow much simpler and much worse and it applies to both users AND contributors.

I guess any politician that criticizes the sacred cow country is going to be FBI investigated for now on.

Problem is that a lot of people in the right see artistic pursuits as "useless" or something for leftoids. The same goes for supporting artists in their endeavors

@merchantHelios ys series (archetypal action rpgs), trails series (imagine the platonic form of a jrpg in your head but with actual writing), xanadu series (historically fantasy but last entry kind of did an urban high school setting to cash in on those persona $$$$$), https://www.falcom.co.jp/vantage/index_e.html honorable mention for vantage master which is a pretty good srpg that in a gigachad move they officially translated and made freeware 20+ years ago

Is it possible to create ANYTHING online without getting into drama anymore? How is it that one guy was able to create a full-length video game and publish it online back in 2004, yet these days your average fan-game or indie game can't be finished without one of the developers rage quitting and leaking a Google Doc about everyone on the team or if it's a solo dev, have their work cancelled by someone else because he said something mean?

So, Québec independance update:

As far as I'm aware, we already knew that there was some cheating going on in the last independence referendum, but even more cheating has come out as apparently they had approved the immigration to Québec in the last month or so before the vote by like 400% or something

It was the Liberals doing, because of course, and they're strangely silent now, not helping their cases considering that the PQ is on the top of the polls and they apparently intend to reopen the investigations about this

Reminder that the vote was lost by about 1% too

Reminder that Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (along with their LibreOffice/OpenOffice equivalents) all have the option to export to HTML, so if you own a website, you can host your documents their instead of using Google Docs.
