inb4 someone says that tofu or whatever isn’t a “complete protein” when it turns out you just need to have a balanced and varied diet

(but tbh if I could live off tofu alone I probably would)

because bluesky has had a collective struggle session recently with the twitter posters migrating over and realising they’re not actually being welcomed in open arms, usually when they out themselves with shit like genocide denial and transphobia.

just because the middle aged white guy with terrible opinions isn’t catered to on platforms where the first users were ones fed up with middle aged white guys with terrible opinions, doesn’t mean there’s a problem, if anything it indicates federated social media is resistant to bullshit

idk it kinda looks cozy in there

mine is a pi 4 but basically the same, just shoved inside a box for protection

inb4 it’s actually some microcode change introduced to intel management engine

Using tinder like a ranked FPS is surely something

Nice! they updated the date on the little medal :) I donated 20EUR a while back to support their awesome work with KDE 6 and the general Wayland efforts.

KDE, GNOME, Linux etc. all help by having one big foundation for loads of projects. It would be nice to have some foundations for other projects that don’t/can’t fill those particular niches.

that’s the only hope, because Nintendo knows that as long as it goes to court, they can bleed out the palworld developers with endless legal attrition. I’m sure they know that these patents aren’t concrete; they’re just an easy way to drag people to court who can’t afford to fight back

Then not even sell the damn things

Sorta true. Nintendo has been monetizing emulation for years, ever since they started releasing “virtual console” games on the Wii web shop.

The Switch now offers NES/SNES games as a benefit of their online service, and has released a handful of games as standalone releases which are literally just nicely-packaged emulators (Mario Sunshine and Galaxy 1/2 bundle for example)

If emulation and “piracy” of old consoles is allowed, then Nintendo fears it won’t be able to charge as much to repackage identical technology as full-price game releases.

Software parents, specifically game mechanic parents, are fucking insane. You should see the stuff Square Enix has patented following death stranding.

I get the whole “they just reskinned my game mechanics!!!” but also: I don’t. It’s like saying Go, Draughts, Chess, etc. are copies or “infringing” on one another for being a board game set on a grid with black/white pieces.

Even the idea of intellectual property is shaky for me but at least it’s more clear cut whether you’ve directly copied or deceived someone with a similar design of a character.

explaining China to Americans imagine a GBU-59 Enhanced Paveway II laser guided bomb

because sometimes people take them and feel “high” and one of the pillars of global capitalism is the puritanical “suffering is virtuous” ideology that targets drugs that have any positive emotional effect.

It’s why we so heavily target opiates*, cannabinoids, and amphetamines.

* yeah even if opiates aren’t as safe as other drugs they’re important for pain management and their stigma, not their safety, is what drives their repression.

It’s hilarious seeing the Fascist global order slander autistic people with “lacking empathy” or free will to the point where they’re targeting autistics for military services to breed killing machines or to do menial tasks.

The reality is that autistic people are capable of more empathy than 99% of fascists, and in the right circumstances have such a strong sense of justice and equity that this kind of policy employed around the world is gonna backfire massively at best.

tbf democrats this time around have just decided to lean into the evil shit they were supporting before the election instead of performatively opposing it after the fact

the funniest thing about CHIPS is that supposedly not a single penny has been given out yet, despite all these fabs spending fuckloads to build up to take the free money.

even funnier if the money takes too long to materialize and these fabs go broke before they pump out a single wafer

Abdullah Ocalan would be good further reading on this

ZorinOS, Mint, or Kubuntu sound ideal for you.
