  • 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.





  • Linux is of course the based solution but I feel you. Windows has gotten so fucking bad since 10, to the point where I feel like 10 was the first windows version I’ve personally used that has gotten WORSE during its life cycle.

    95 and XP had popular service pack updates that improved things immeasurably.

    Vista had a bunch of updates and service pack shit that largely solved a load of people’s complaints with it by the end.

    7 was goated with the sauce the whole time.

    8 had 8.1 which was basically Win 10 lite. Not as good as 7 for most people but the .1 upgrade was the biggest improvement for a Windows version imo.

    Now Windows 10 has just gotten shittier and shittier; It peaked around 2021. Even before I got onto Linux (and became biased) they were stuffing adware and toolbar shit into the desktop almost every update, and even with Win11 in full swing they’ve tried shoehorning AI crap into 10 anyway. What could’ve been another Windows 7 ended up being about as bad to use as 8.1.


  • People wonder why antisemitism is increasing exponentially and this post is a prime example of it: someone who I can probably guess is an American, probably secular or Christian, yet telling me that the state of Israel is actually just “Jews”. It’s blood libel to claim that the Jewish faith alone is responsible for acts of terror against civilians (because guess what, these pagers were imported for EVERYONE who makes use of pagers, including countless medical staff).

    I won’t engage with antisemites like you, there is no saving anyone who has seen the last year (let alone 75 years) of unrelenting terror from Israel and the US, only to blame it on Jewish people who the majority of which have always lived outside of Israel. The Zionist project is a Christian and American project, and has turned the image of Judaism into one of hatred and slaughter on their behalf.
