  I think the issue is not having a desktop-type computer at all and having a tablet/phone that’s so locked down the kid isn’t given the opportunity to explore or troubleshoot.

  Tinkering is how you learn to solve problems, which requires having something tinker-able without having to go down a hacky rabbithole.

  We would also all have our own mini farms and chests upon chests full of weird stuff.

  Cryptmaster! Not specifically “Halloween” but undead and spooky and witty. Great if you like puzzle games and dungeon crawlers.

  This has gotten so weirdly meta on the fediverse lmao

  It’s not that deep my peeps. Sometimes nerds are gonna nerd and sometimes “normies” (cringed as I typed that) wanna bitch about the hostility of corpo hell. Both are valid, and both can be annoying ¯\(ツ)/¯

  It’s a shitposting community, and this is definitely a shitpost.

  Unfortunately we don’t have enough traction yet for niche comms.

  And… all the Nintendo Adults have made it clear over the decades that “Corporations aren’t your friends. Except for the one with Mario. #StandUpForNintendo”

  I must be in a hell of a bubble but the stereotypes I’m familiar with are as follows:

  1. “Nobody hates Nintendo more than Nintendo fans” and

  2. “Nobody hates Nintendo fans more than Nintendo.”

  They make it impossible to enjoy damn near any of their older games without piracy. Their hardware is objectively worse performing than other consoles of the time. And they price gouge like a mfer.

  I still play my Switch and my old 3DS but I’m doing my damnedest not to give them another cent directly if I can help it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fair. I forgot briefly that fediverse has that political side lol but meant more the technology of “broadcasting” and inter-site communications. Seems a better comparison than email at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Web is Going to Die⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So Usenet was the first fedi site? Reassuring that the concept predates the current paradigm and still has legs, however niche it is atm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dangerous crow⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey bangs are nice :( just not DIY bangs that stem from “ohmygod-my-hair-is-too-heavy-gtfo-my-face” energy, which is hard to resist.

  Every time I get a haircut I like going shorter though, just a matter of convincing the stylist to let me get a mullet/undercut since they think it’ll “look like a bad haircut” and seem convinced it’ll ruin their reputation lol. Just let me indulge my trashy instincts please and thank you! 😂

  A recent U.S. State Department report on Saudi Arabia’s human rights record in 2024 listed abuses including “arbitrary or unlawful killings, disappearances, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, and serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom,” among other issues.

  Sounds like 2025 in the US. Makes sense where they got the blueprint from.

  Isn’t part of the Kickstarter ToS that you understand there’s a chance the project won’t come to fruition?

  How disrespectful!

  The hole was on the sides, not the front.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah fam.

  I used to joke about furries but after being here for the last ~6 months they’re one of the last bastions of free expression and also more or less an inextricable part of any online spaces worth participating in.

  The presence of furries is unironically a sign of resilience. Let them be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tailscale difficulties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe? The port setups work fine on the home router (such as accessing Steam link/Sunshine from a TV) but because it’s behind the mandatory AT&T modem it causes some nasty configuration headaches for external access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tailscale difficulties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This may sound crazy but do you have an AT&T router?

  I have not been able to solve it myself yet unfortunately but having two routers has made it impossible for me to use Tailscale/Wireguard/ZeroTier etc. in much the same way as you’re describing.

  The devices “see” each other but can’t connect no matter what configuration I follow, what firewall settings I tweak, nothing. I think there’s a pass through problem where UPnP is in conflict.

  Sorry I don’t have an answer but I promise you’re not alone in your frustration.
