It can either go terribly wrong or terribly right.

This either makes the far-right radicalize teens at an earlier age, or finally schools no longer will be for 50+ year old bitter people who want the younger generation suffer.

I hope too, but likely will be shut down by the US, for “unfair state meddling with the free market”.

Not originally, but they became the very evil they sought to fight against. Some are still holding onto the good fight, most just see it as a virtual online casino.

I’m pretty sure that Mint is capable of exceptions.

I’m already looking into organizing a secularist group, both lobbying in the style of SKG, both uncovering pseudo-secular organizations rebranding christian moralism as “common sense”.

I doubt payment processors are creating these rules because they’re afraid of Jesus

For starters, the biggest owners of both Visa and Mastercard are Mormons, so…

Can someone recommend me a hard drive that won’t fail immediately? Internal, not SSD, from which cheap ones will die even sooner, and I need it for archival reasons, not speed or fancy new tech, otherwise I have two SSDs.

Pirate Software is also a big liar, and a bad dev, who couldn’t finish his game in 8 years.

Then comes USB-D, mostly backwards compatible with USB-C and USB-C++ with an adapter, but due to poor communication from its developers and just being a mostly improved USB-C connector rather than a groundbreaking invention, people lose interest in it. Then comes USB-Rust, with a plug looking like a hybrid between old proprietary plugs of the past and USB-C, while also dropping support for well loved features or making them really hard to use, in the name of variable and memory safety, a thing USB-D also supported optionally.

YanDev: “Thank God I’m no longer the most hated indie dev!”

That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow.

I used to steal Wi-Fi with an outdated Linux installation DVD.

It’s a spoof on an infamous Margaret Thatcher quote.

There is no such thing as a village, only individuals and individual families maybe.

That’s only the public money. Who knows how much dark money they got for it.

IMHO, old internet started to slowly die with the introduction of MySpace, Digg, and even 4chan, I call the period of 2006 to 2010 the slow decline era, then 2010 to 2016 the rapid decline era. 2016 to 2022 is the “classic centralized internet era”, and now we have the era of the “new centralized internet”, characterized by the peddling of far-right ideologies of these centralized platforms, alongside with the potential rebirth of the old, decentralized internet.

He will flip-flop the moment SKG is saving a “woke” game.

If he doesn’t like today’s games, then he can just ask ChatGPT to make it the old way. Or Grok for that MechaHitler edge.

I prefer the term “spite-driven development”.

I wrote an SDL replacement but worse after SDL refused to work with audio streams for me even after a week of googling, it took me the same amount to get it work with WASAPI directly as looking up audio streams, instead of the many easymp3playback.dll type solution. Another one week was making ALSA working. At least it’s in D, so I have an easier time with development.

I also almost was involved with a YanSim clone development called “Love Letter: My True Feelings”, but shit just started to hit the fan (character designer just left), so I decided to not get involved as a coder.
