Moneybags over here affording one beer at a bar in 2024.

In godot engine you can put an underscore at the beginning of a variable to tell the linter to calm the hell down about it. But I don’t see why it’s such a crisis in the first place.

Guys only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting

Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.

It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.

If you scream you die.

How is this notable or interesting then? I thought we were all just accepting that malicious software is an inherent part of all open platforms.

My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.

One of the only reasons I used vivaldi for a while.

Not just the comments. It used to be page 4 or 5 where the hate/rage content would start appearing in the top posts. But it’s been creeping up, and now even page 1 looks pretty bad sometimes. I bet even Americans are starting to feel alienated if they’re not perpetually angry.

I’m done with programs that need meaningless updates like this every day. All my patience for that was used up with flash and java.

Debian is Jumpman and Mint Debian is Luigi from the super show.

Doordash be like $17 + $4 + $6 = $57.86

At least they’re allowing that connection to be made and not timing you out. That’s the worst part about having internet like this.

The philips circle logo on there is the black version that they stopped using in 1968. If I had something that worked for that long I think I’d have a funeral for it.

With the SD what you’re talking about is reality but I meant it in terms of normies perceptions. I watched some retro handheld reviews on YouTube and it started surfacing videos about SD cards of retro roms you can buy. There’s always people pointing out that you can just download the same rompack from archive.org, and there are people replying who say that’s piracy. I couldn’t make something like that up if I tried. Here’s another one specifically about YouTube. If you torrent a song, that’s bad. But if you use a YouTube to mp3 website that’s different. My family sees it that way.

I know this is a joke but people calling it busybox/linux is how I came to understand what makes linux a separate thing from gnu.

Maybe she was sick of trying to get a terminal displaying utf correctly.
