I hope this really hapoens. I’ve heard that video game development is a toxic jndustry to be in, from underpaid developers to strict dealines to meet. I really hope they will unionize!

Cuz if you invert the bits of of a binary number and add one you get its negative number, so your girlfried is an equal part of you

For me, Blender was probably my very first introduction into FOSS. I was using it because it was free, but I also liked the concept behind having a useful software the people used everyday to make cool projects like movies and animated shows. I did a project on it in. What really got me down the rabbithole was Debian. I had come across it in computer class, and I really liked the interface. i did more research and came to love Debian for being a stable distro run by the community. From thereit’s history.

I’m not sure, but if it gets the ability to sync comments and posts across instances, i’d love that feature!

you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!

There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

Debian for the win! Still kicking after 30 years!

Debian for the win, baby! It’s been standing for 30 years and still kicking! Back, Grim Distro Realer!

They’re really pulling an America, aren’t they?

Same here!

KILL IT

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Shh, shh, let it happen, let it happen. Meanwhile, want some popcorn? I made like 3 tubs worth of it

No 😭😭😭

Yesss, i was imaginigng something like this, but for GNOME, where the whole GUI looked like it was from Minecraft.

“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens.” – a stage play based on George Orwell’s 1984

Striking line–now we just have to figure out how to get people off their screens and onto streets.

Lol, bet. Let’s try it then, and see how far we can go.

Of course not, by the time they’re 3 they will be able to communicate in 10 programming languages

oh dang, this is really good. I was thinking about trying to self-host all my music as well, but i still need good storage lol.

My favorite would probably be Super Mario Galaxy 2 OST. That game had really good music, so good I think it got nominated for an award or something. The music is nice and riveting.

i want to watch the corporations burn too. but we’re losing something we’ll never get back.

This perfectly highlights the precarious situation we are in. We have collectively decided to put A LOT of Internet history on a few centralized places that don’t really care about data as profit, and now it is coming back to bite us in the rear. We will lose a lot of history that we can never easily get back, whether it is deleted, or siloed behind a login/paywall screen.

Take, for example, Twitter burning down. It affects everyone negatively. Think of all the important conversations going on about race, gender, sexuality, and protests and movements, that will be lost to time. Think of all the artist who have posted work on there, only to discover they have to shift to a new platform literally overnight because no one can see their artwork and there is a mass exodus. Think of how good reputable news sources are becoming even more fragmented as reputable, trustworthy actors flee Twitter, turning it into a swamp of misinformation and disinformation.

Now take this scenario, and spread it across all the major sites, keeping in mind how all sites rely on each other to be useful, so damage becomes exponentially worse as more large sites decide to do restrictive policies that trap users and data within their sites. As a result, information cannot travel as freely between boundaries. Now taking into account all the damage that has been done, the Internet won’t be the frontier of possibility and community as it once was, but rather another cash cow, and medium of distribution: it will become like a more interactive version of TV.

I wish we could go back to the mid 2000s/early 2010s era of the Internet…I miss those days… Sorry for doom ranting a little, it’s just the Internet as a concept is important to me.
