  GOG and itch’s approach to preservation is always gonna be limited by legality, you can’t keep a game on your platform if the publisher requests its delisting; ofc piracy isn’t constrained by this, so it’s inherently better at preservation

  at least, since the games on there don’t have DRM, once you have them you keep them (and with GOG, you can also download offline installers that you can reuse on any computer you want). they make piracy way easier in that way, because pirates don’t even need to repack

  Screenshot of a Twitter post by @kaiklops: “Drew like a dark, fucked up version of the hamburger helper mascot haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane Imao”. Attached to the post are two images. One is a drawing of the hamburger helper mascot (a gloved hand with a cartoon face), and the other is a cruder drawing of the same mascot, now with frowning eyes and pointy teeth.

  well, the original is this, i think its been a shitpost all along

  thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

  i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

  take care 🧡

  its also on phone keyboards, at least on iphone, you can hold the dash key and select the long dash: —

  same for the ellipsis, which a lot of people cite as a proof something was written with AI, but iphones (and other phones too, probably) insert them automatically when you type 3 dots…

  “heteronormative” doesn’t mean “it’s the fault of straight people” are you serious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this reminds me of the Hippocratic License, which comes with a bunch of modules restricting the use of software based on ethical considerations (for example, there’s a module forbidding the use by police, and another one forbidding the use by any institution on the BDS list)

  i think the FSF, in their eternal and unchallengeable wisdom (/s), also declared that it wasn’t foss

  we should give them a name that reflects that… LOLicon perhaps? an icon of the LOL!

  id rather be using whatsapp, honestly

  it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data

  (and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)

  imagine being the person forced to use FB messenger because your friends are on it and won’t bother installing anything else

  i am that person 😖

  I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.

  it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)

  you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.

  so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1

  and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!

  and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh god what horror that layout is

  you need shift to type numbers???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  could have happened on a french canadian qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2

  personally, it’s kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i’m not fully aromantic, but also it’s only happened once so i’m probably on the aro spectrum somewhere

  but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others

  (and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it’s just a meme)
