• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Steam. I’ve used it since the ol’ orange box came out. But the forums do desperately need moderation. They’re rarely worth looking at if you actually want to be informed about something. The whole thing is worse than YouTube comments. You shouldn’t even go there unless you hit it from a search engine request about a very specific issue.

  Last I looked the kid just needed to learn how to vpn and it was over. Granted that was a few years ago. But I’ve not seen a software solution that there wasn’t a way around. Unless you get something like a Gab phone for them.

  You can also buy it preinstalled on a fairphone through Murena’s website. And the bootloader is locked.

  I understand installing e/os yourself sometimes gets you stuck with an unlocked bootloader. I have no idea if that’s true for Nothing phones, but thought I’d post up an alternative for those concerned about that.

  Hoping that phones running e/OS wouldn’t count as certified android devices anymore. Especially if they don’t have Google Play Services on them.

  “Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices”

  He is actually. When he actually washes himself he’s blinding white. And when he dances he gets a little feather pompadour on the top of his head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Department of Homeland Security has reportedly demanded personal information about ICE's critics from Discord, Reddit, Google, and Meta—and at least 3 of those platforms have complied⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I came so close… Didn’t know about flash paper. Thought magicians used tissues. Dropped a burning tissue into a pile of stuffed animals. Smothered the flames with the stuffies. And was then amazed that my parents never smelled the smoke, or noticed me popping windows to desperately air out my bedroom.

  I’ve got a duck that prefers to dance in front of a chrome bumper or glass door where he can see his reflection than to go after any potential mates. Possibly he’s worshipping the mirror. Possibly he’s just really vain.
