The world has been run by fascists before. Hiding is cowardice, and that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Don’t give it to them. If you want to die proud of yourself, then get involved in the resistance.

Work on rejecting big tech. Do your part to defund them, don’t give them any money or data if you can.

If you have money to spare, donate to organizations that work to protect our rights. Or donate your time if you have some to spare.

Learn about mesh networks and buy some hardware. It is cheap, a fun hobby, and may become crucial infrastructure at some point in the near future.

Talk to your neighbors, get involved. Read about anarchism and get inspired to act locally to help others. Don’t fret the big picture, just try and leave your little bit of land better than you found it.

And when those fascists come for you and yours, give them hell.

Die proud.

Yeah, DCSS will do that sort of stuff from time to time. But you were smart, and you avoided it! Good for you.

I had the same thought. I signed up to be notified when the project starts, but never got an email.

Perhaps they have just had massive delays, but I too would suggest caution.

I used to watch a show from the states about severely overweight people, with a doctor called Dr. No trying to help them lose weight (I forget the name).

Most of the people that actually lost weight ended up going to therapy first. Without working on the underlying issues, weight loss was hopeless. Once they did do therapy, the weight loss became possible, even easy.

I think productivity is a similar sort of goal. There are no hacks, no tricks, no methods. Humans that are healthy, safe, and have meaning in their life are naturally motivated.

So are you healthy? Are you safe? Do you have something that gives you meaning? If not, then work on those issues, and motivation will come to you naturally.

Oh my sweet summer child.

That’s exactly what I mean. Just like email, different providers/servers can do things a little differently. I suppose that’s just a side effect of being decentralized.

It is more than most contribute. (⁠ ^ ⁠ᴗ ⁠^ ⁠)

Do you have all those categories for posts? Or is that just a suggestion ?

I use voyager, so I only have media,link,text as options. I must admit, as much as I love the fediverse, it can be a bit confusing sometimes .

Damn, you got some harsh comments for just posting a YT link.

Thanks for posting. We need to grow the fediverse, and low-effort stuff like this helps too.

Nice!

I just took a look at the history, the first version I played was 0.4 or 0.5. They didn’t have the tiles version back then, and still to this day I prefer the ASCII version. I. Am. Old.

18 years! I’d like to see another game that can be entertaining for so long.

Nice. I’ve been playing DCSS longer than anything else, and it still entertains me endlessly. I mostly play a F-Droid port on my phone that is still on 0.29, but whatever, every version is fun.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting!

If the AI slop infects Wikipedia to such an extent that it becomes unusable, then such dusty backups could be very valuable. I completely agree that the issue at hand will not be solved by a simple backup, but it won’t hurt either.

Thanks, I didn’t notice that. I’ll pay more attention in the future.

That is not what the theory of special relativity says. It says that nothing with mass can accelerate to the speed of light. This may sound pedantic, but it is quite a different statement.

Aso, the expansion of spacetime isn’t much more than a “best guess” as to why we see the redshift of distant galaxies, but the truth of the matter is that we don’t really understand much yet about this universe. Not really.

Speed is distance/time. But time is relative, how time progresses is not some universal constant. And it gets WAY weirder than that. Here are some links, one of Richard Freymann explaining light much better than I can.

And another about the mystery of information and time.

IWNDWYT!

This is a delightful article. Parts of it had me giggling to myself, and I honestly learned more about some linux basics than I expected.

I’m currently at roughly 2.5/1, but I’m not happy about it.

That would’ve been epic.
