Can’t wait for the “Jarjargasm” category to pop up… in places.

The interactions with developers and players
I don’t want to have interactions with developers, nor other players. Cramming “social media” above the game advertisement itself is… something.

Kick back and relax, is what I’d say. If you’re minimum wage, it’s not your problem.

- Comment on BlueSky has drama so the Fedi-Marketers are waking from their slumber 1 week ago:
Let alone the issue that moderation remain troubling, even on the fediverse. I ended up having two different accounts because some things I follow are blocked by servers where there are other things I follow, who blocks the previous ones.
So much for openness. If the only solution is to spawn my own instance to get something workable, there’s no way this will take off with the general public.
- Comment on Why can't we have a static vintage web? 2 weeks ago:
We can. Individual sites still exists. Simpler pages still exist. In some way, wikipedia is a large project that’s mostly “old school” (despite many attempts to change that). Old communication tools still work, mail can still be done with ease by small or even individual providers. Forums are still a thing in some communities. RSS to get informations about many sites in one place still exists and never stopped existing (it’s surprising how many recent websites still implement it). Some people still use IRC and newsgroups on a daily basis.
I’d even argue that google search, the old, simple, easy one, still exist. Look up udm14, set this in your browser, and your done. And contrary to the apparently largely accepted trend, this one still gives great results.
Firefox, despite recent attempts (that will probably keep coming) can still be trimmed to be a basic browser for the most part. Large surface to open an HTML page, bookmarks, tabs on top (fancy), and nothing else in the way. I don’t know how long this will persist, but it’s still possible.
There are many things that are still around, the presence of huge behemoths in the front row doesn’t change that. The only difference is that using the web in this manner requires a bit of involvement and a bit of work. When it was the only way to do things, people got involved and spent effort to do so. Nowadays, with large services providing one click stop to seemingly everything, most people won’t put up the effort to look somewhere else. And they don’t care about the consequences of this centralization on privacy, bias, censorship, etc.
But a lot of the old web is still available. Heck, even old reddit is still around (although the content itself is still reddit).
And it is a simpler life. Taking back control of our digital activities requires some minor involvement, but not being crushed by the endless content and notification machine is real nice in this overstressed world.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
I have my NAS on a private VPN running on my own server. The NAS have my music (roughly 2/3 from physical media, 1/3 from various DRM-free source). I use it with a simple mobile app (CloudBeat) that can work in both online and offline mode where you can download what you want ahead of time by ticking a checkbox.
It doesn’t cost much: the VPN server do other stuff and is cheap to begin with, the NAS have some maintenance cost for storage, but that’s like a drive every two years top, content never change of disappear, it doesn’t slurp my bandwidth constantly, etc.
Even factoring the cost of a separate backup, since the whole setup store a bunch of other stuff and services, it’s probably more cost efficient too, if you don’t consider the initial setup cost.
And if needed, I can “lift” some content from streaming services too and put them there.
The only reason paying for a streaming service still exist is convenience, at the cost of bending over whatever craziness they come up with.

There are plenty of tool for that. And, for that matter, “making an account” for gemini means having used gmail/youtube/anything vaguely google related in the last ten years. I’m pretty sure lazy people are already there.

What effort? I can open gemini and type “give me a shitpost meme about being angry for something random, you pick” and get a picture. I don’t even have to think about what it would be. The part that requires the most effort is copy/pasting it here.

You think 1990 where a time of full consent and awareness about other sensitivities? Oh boy.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 1 month ago:
The awareness is relatively recent. “The woman place is in the kitchen” is not an old thing.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 1 month ago:
think about the wild and unnecessary risk they’re taking and how they’ll regret it functionally forever
hmm what? Unless I missed a very big part of this, you’re not dropping a percentage of your soul when you have sex, it usually conclude with a good shower, and if you were not cautious at all with protection, a pill.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 1 month ago:
I’d say a larger part of the population being aware that they can reject “unsolicited requests” is a part of it.
Also, it requires meeting people to some extent. That sounds boring.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
It’s been tried a bit before, but didn’t get through. The current situation with secure boot is worrying, because we’re one manufacturer playing ball away from it to become a reality.
I’d like to say there’s strong incentive to not do that, but it seems that logic alone would not stop this kind of push. And weirdly enough, even financial risk might not be enough, as we’ve seen baffling decisions made these last few months.
The main saving graces is that there are more than two manufacturer for motherboard, and as far as I know, patent lockdown and secrecy isn’t as big on PC hardware than on mobile boards, so it might be easier to escape such lockdown. But fully locked down systems under external control is clearly where some people wants us to go.

The best way to go is a some “a”, a few “o”, a long string of “m”, and write “oh yeah” in the last question.

- Comment on this is exactly what copper would say 2 months ago:
Sell it to who? Most business must keep records of the stuff they use in their books. A roll of optic fiber this large would cost a substantial amount of money, so using one “off the books” would require some creativity. And I’m not sure there’s much use for individuals for that much.
Copper is interesting because there are business that buys it by weight for recycling purposes.
