thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

take care 🧡

only Hypixel Studios, the dev studio behind Hytale that was bought by Riot, is shutting down

the Hypixel server isn’t going anywhere (for now, at least)

murderers should care about their family, not other families whose members they murdered!!!

also, "no unique benefit", my guy the global north was built on the stolen wealth from everywhere else

this tweet is an answer to the numerous leftists (most of them from the global south) criticizing democrats for being imperialist ghouls

and it’s saying, to those leftists, "stfu 'people from the global south' is just a rhetorical construct, americans matter more than it"

i.e. the tweeter blatantly doesn’t care about the numerous, very real lives from the global south impacted by american imperialists

its also on phone keyboards, at least on iphone, you can hold the dash key and select the long dash: —

same for the ellipsis, which a lot of people cite as a proof something was written with AI, but iphones (and other phones too, probably) insert them automatically when you type 3 dots…

part of the reason is alberta seats entirely on treaty territory, so it doesn’t get to leave without a say from Indigenous peoples (at least in theory, in practice we know too well that canada wipes its ass with treaties)

and the new alberta would’ve certainly been a strongly reactionary state, so it’s important to stand in solidarity with albertan leftists and oppose its creation

same reasons most leftists oppose quebec independence

and it’s only you who’s saying that ryedaft was "complaining about a group of people based on sexuality"

"heteronormative" doesn’t mean "it’s the fault of straight people" are you serious

if you don’t know a word, you can just look it up yknow

my point is that the narrative is being used to justify war with Iran: "we need to attack them harder before they get their revenge!"

by talking about "Iranian terrorists" as if that’s an actual threat, the media is contributing to that justification for war

ah, so the liberal media has already fully accepted the "Iranian terrorists are coming to kill us all!!!!" narrative, huh

tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo

and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)

according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.

and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.

so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.

that’s fun.

yes, this is what will happen, but don’t delude yourself into thinking this is new

what you describe has been the reality of agriculture (and other industries) for a while now, and not just in the US, it’s this way in canada too for example

honestly surprised more than half of the apps on Flathub are verified! I expected it to be less

back before the redesign, it felt like most apps had "note: this wrapper is not made by, or affiliated with the original developers" somewhere

what "slavery is allowed if the enslaved person is a prisoner" does to you

this reminds me of the Hippocratic License, which comes with a bunch of modules restricting the use of software based on ethical considerations (for example, there’s a module forbidding the use by police, and another one forbidding the use by any institution on the BDS list)

i think the FSF, in their eternal and unchallengeable wisdom (/s), also declared that it wasn’t foss

you’re thinking too small

1000$/year baybeee!

or rather, they’ll find the perfect balance of profitability, between how many people can afford it VS how much they’d pay for it

the poors will die but that is a sacrifice they are enthusiastic to make

and someone who makes good memes, they would certainly be an icon!

we should give them a name that reflects that… LOLicon perhaps? an icon of the LOL!
