10 years ago he published a game that went viral for being a specific addictive form of frustrating. Some people bullied the shit out of him so he divorced himself of his game and out the whole thing behind him. Fast forward 10 years, because he divorced himself of the game he didn't really think about it when his IP protections expired. This had consequences when unscrupulous motherfuckers published a clone of his original game as a crypto scam of some sort (I haven't looked into the specifics yet). So now he has to think about his old game again and tell all us he's not scamming us

Go cheap, and go second hand if possible

Proton, Tuta, Mailbox.org, Posteo

All are equal in terms of their overall quality of service, just different in what advantages they offer (except for Mailbox.org and Posteo. They're just offering standards compliant email servers without any bullshit and let you roll your own encryption)

Maybe they could switch to an ecofriendly alternative, like not having an oligarch family whose entire wealth originates from stolen wealth that receives special privileges and protections from the l very structuring of the fabric of their society

If I understand where this us going, the additional triangles will all be of the small white variety to hit the target of 3x triangle increase. If we consider negative space triangles and composite triangles, the next phase of the fractal will probably have more than 3x the triangles but that math is hard and I don't have a notebook

Buncha dark pattern bullshit

In a word: enshittification

A single corporate entity wanting to gatekeep our collective knowledge of the things we love is intrinsically a bad thing. It was easy to ignore back when its functionality was basic and the ads minimal. These days the website is bloated with third party cookies and scripts, and it is one of the worst offenders outside Big Tech / FAANG when it comes to implementing surveilance capitalism.

I think a Tribe Called Quests Excursions. Someone else mentioned that it's a shame losing all memories of a piece of music because we as a species associate music with our most precious memories. Here's the thing: Excursions is timeless and woven throughout my life. I've relistened to it so many times and got more from it as I've matured. I wonder how revolutionary and fresh it would feel to hear it today with my adult understanding of the world

Oh for sure. The solution isn't to raise the price of unfairly priced products, its to introduce the concept of accountability to the world

My thing is that there's a minimum price for fairness, and then there's products that present themselves as being marked up for fairness that don't actually benefit the people a fair price should benefit. Your best bet is to do some research into what the minimum fair price something is, and then look for something that price from a local economy.

Unfortunately, this is next to impossible. The systems in place favor us never knowing where anything comes from, and the research tools we used to be able to use to find fair prices (internet search) have been broken for this purpose for nearly 10 years (not just AI bullshit, but all those SEO pay to play bullshit listicles that even infect real human driven testing processes like The Wirecutter and Gear Lab). I think there's even an argument to be made that AI is an intentional device to steer us into a digital dark age where finding real trustworthy information is nearly impossible.

I think people just want the emotional satisfaction of submitting a vote that says "this is my preferred person"

Literally any voting system other than the one we use is an improvement.

I was digging LMDE until my 8GB of ram simply couldn't handle the load and I'm in AntiX now. Honestly, I've watched Mint go from being immature and insecure to security leaders without losing their accessibility. Solid and incredibly important distro if you ask me

Hopefully you've tried another distro by now, and also know to avoid big corporate distros best you can

They've never given me the vibe that that reversal of course was permanent, or that other things they do aren't similarly anti-user
