Maybe next year! :)

what a masterpiece! still so charming and fun and challenging today! and OH the music (with an extra sound-chip in the cartridge to add more voices!!) <3

Nintendo Game & Watch. (ca. 1981)

I guess that counts?

doom

RG351M for me. I love the metal touch, the format, and up to PS1 is amazing. some Dreamcast and N64 too. wow for the price <3

switched to sway on pinephone and main computer, and will never go back to xorg (i hope!)

old thinkpad FTW!

got a T430s for 115Euros one year ago

Firefox has been eating in Google's hand since its inception. Willfully ruined all chances of becoming the one browser defending privacy and people's rights against Google... (for instance by banning early on third party scripts by default, ad-blocking by default, blocking tracking and other cookies by default with much smoother controls)

And still maintaining that image of the nice guys (with all the millions gotten from GGL and so much volunteers they chose not to pay, that's probably easy to buy such good PR anyways...)

Firefox ripped us off!

It may have traces of "Linux" but it's not GNU/Linux, or any other flavour of Linux that is free-as-freedom.

Having a free software kernel base (heavily patched with proprietary extensions, drivers, blobs etc.) in the middle of a close environment is like saying that one is having "some freedom" within the confined space of a prison cell...

Linux phones r0x! long live to the pinephone and postmarketOS! :)

discrimination doesnt start with "suggesting bad things about a group of people", it starts by creating such a group of people, and enforcing it, culturally, politically, socially and at every level (including by jokes, memes, etc.). then at some point in history when society will be tense enough and on the verge of collapse, there will always be someone to suggest that this virtual "group of people" is the cause of... you know... everything bad.

but discrimination starts way way earlier. when making "groups of people" based on things they didn't chose, and that actually shouldn't matter so much...

I understand your point of view... I hear that your intention wasnt to provoke or to encourage hatred.

Yet, the very notion that there would be "races" here is err.. a very definition of "racism" (ie. who sees things according to supposed "races")... there is one race, the Human kind... the rest is physical differences.

So somehow, inevitably, making jokes based on these physical differences, on sorting people (even jokingly) according to them (especially implying that there would be a "good" configuration for the, and another that would remind a state that everyone has experience, the last step of a cube where "omg omg i am almost there!!!" feeling so good as something that inevitably needs fixing...) is further re-inforcing discriminatory mechanisms.

Imagine that you would see an image that would make you say "there are 4 skinnies and 4 fatties on that (virtual) picture" -> if your conception of the world, if your way of looking at things is to see "skinnies" on one side, and "fatties" on the other, if you call them that and sort them according to that, well it's a discrimination based on physicail aspects.. isn't it?

whether it bears a name ("fatism"?) or not doesnt matter so much as how it is a way of looking at people and at the world, that in turns can bring about further simplifications, de-humanization (if someone is "a fatty" or "a xxxx" they often are less than just "a person"), discriminations, and as history showed, often violence...

Does it make any sense to you?

thanks :)

can I just ask this: do you see or not a racist undertone to this image? (i am not trying to entrap or judge your or anything, it's just curiosity)

I am glad to be part of such a cool anti-racist bunch! :)

well maybe people don't like racist crap?

go figure...
