operation switched to HYPE mode

as long as the money isn’t being wasted or contracts being handed out to companies owned by politician’s friends, yeah

yeah it’s a shame that libertarian basically means closeted republican these days

is there a better term?

I’d consider myself pretty libertarian-minded in the whole ‘you live your life and I live mine’ style, but not in the ‘let corporations do whatever they want to workers and the environment’ style

that sounds very interesting! I’m gonna go lookup FPGA emulation now

nice tool

I ran through it a few times and ended up selecting Source Code Pro

I use Mozilla VPN, which I believe is just a rebranded Mullvad

never had any issues!

yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was

I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away

which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage

I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy

I know peertube already exists, but I wonder if a federated app specifically for short videos (to reduce data storage costs) could find some success?

would probably also need to use some intense video compression technology before upload to further reduce file sizes

I asked ChatGPT to pitch me a social network using tech buzzwords 🤮

this is my experience as well

I’ve been unhappy with the quality at reddit for years but there was no reasonable alternative that I knew about

I had heard about Mastodon but never really researched the wider fediverse until recently

now I will pretty much never use any corporate owned website again and will exclusively use federated software

so I was literally just looking at installing this on my steam deck but I noticed it was only ‘Playable’ and not ‘Verified’

can you tell me are there any really annoying issues or is it just hard to read text or other minor UI issues?

Deus Ex is a game I have started playing multiple times, have been enjoying it, then got distracted/sidetracked with real life happenings and never circled back around to the game

This post reminded me I need to try to play it again soon, hopefully all the way through this time!

thanks for the info!

I’m gonna update my client right now to take a look!

(just hope performance has improved since the last time I logged in)

hey, so racing was probably my favorite thing to do back when I originally bought the game (late 2015)

what is available in the racing gameplay now? is it still checkpoint based with leaderboards or can you actually race against other people at the same time?

good theory, I’m sure they will offer custom domain names as well to sweeten the deal since I doubt most people want to be stuck with a .meta handle or something

it’s crypto gambling stuff
