@Rom13AncapHypoc I think the reason Discord is so popular now too is it's the last place people act "however" they want because they have an illusion of privacy there, if solely because it's not indexed. That and on the normieweb there's the merited fear that if you make someone somewhere mad they're going to put your info into some osint site to find emails from a 10 year old breach of a gaming forum or write a Google Doc.

If any of y'all have deeper knowledge of how #Mastodon, #Rebased, #Soapbox, and #BirdMakeup work, I would appreciate having another eyeball take a look at this. #Gemini (the #AI I asked about this) is telling me that certain forks and versions of #Pleroma are stricter when it comes to loading #ActivityPub content than #Mastodon.

Working on both #Mastodon and #Rebased:

Not working on #Rebased but working on #Mastodon:

I just might've found a helpful use case for #AI lol. Asking #Gemini about why some #BirdMakeup posts load on both #Mastodon and #Rebased, and some only load on #Mastodon.

I am working, so I don't exactly have the bandwidth to verify everything, but it's essentially saying that, in this instance, at least, #Rebased rejected a post because it missed a share field, and its tag field was completely empty.

Incredible new Analogue 3D update

>New: Overclocking and Force Original Hardware are now adjustable in-game

You couldn't before, you had to reset the game. This is basically making a lot of "broken" game with the overclock viable now. There's a few games that only has some issues here and there in some area. So you just need to know it and disable it beforeahand, that's it

Examples:
Diddy Kong Racing: Bosses are impossible on overclock. Had to restart the game before a boss. Now it's painless

Donkey Kong 64: Apparently ran like a dream on Unleashed, however, the bonus games timing were apparently all messed up, making it so that you just couldn't play on Unleashed, it was just not really viable because of the restarting you'd have to do. Well, it's viable now

I'm too good at polymarket. Glad some nerds (cia / mossad) finally invented a free money app

i want this era of gaming back

@argv_minus_one The usual, previously it was DHH/Omarchy, then DeVault's weird guys hit list and now KDE not completely denouncing AI usage. If people weren't bored to no end, barely anybody would care about these "issues".

This drama addiction is seriously making me consider taking a Fedi break, because most of the network is infected by it. But I also know that when I quit even for a month, when I come back it will be even worse.

good article

Posting this here (I keep forgetting to post blogposts): https://pleromanonx86.wordpress.com/2026/09/21/sagexpo-when-everything-is-the-same/

In this post I take a look at the SAGExpo, and the eternal problem with the indie scenes: that beyond retro throwbacks everything is in the "Nintendo Mold" and made by people who have never lived life outside the computer screen.

SOPA's back and 10 times worse!

For those who don't remember The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was a proposed U.S. congressional bill from 2011 that would have brought censorship and site blocking to the United States. It was defeated, but since then the entertainment cartels have gotten similar bills passed in other countries. These bills undermine free speech and democracy.

Now the cartels are at it again with a number of new bills in the United States with even more rigor.

One of these new U.S. site blocking bills adds VPNs to the list of blocking intermediaries.

Now it appears the bill is very specific to virtual private networks and does not explicitly include SOCKS proxies, Tor, or other generic proxy services. That does then beg the question though of why bother? If it's not all inclusive it won't work. It also won't work against non-US jurisdiction based VPN operators. That also means it undermines the VPN operators which are based out of the United States.

How effective can this VPN specific section be? Not very, but there ends up being real harm.

It also still has serious implications for democracy in America if censorship and site blocks are permitted.

I will be the first to argue we've already headed down that dangerous path with the US "justice department" seizing domain names. There is this concept in law known as prior restraint. They're not support to censor speech before it occurs and they certainly shouldn't be taking away someone's ability to speak even if they seize the servers themselves.

Have you written your congress critter yet? I have and I'll write the evil **** again and again and hope for independence for New Hampshire and a collapse of the US. Governments that censor should collapse.
