    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Anger and fear are the only tools MAGA Republicans know how to use. It's not about coming up with solutions, it's about whipping their base into a frenzy so they can stay in power. MTG, to the NORMAL person, is an idiot, but to her base she's 'just telling it like it is'..... Being fed a diet...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    He was also a rich immigrant. He had money BEFORE coming to the US(not a much as he does now, but definitely way more than I do currently). It's just as much about class as it is ethnicity. It would be important not to forget that. He wants to reshape the US(and the world) into a...

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    Once again part of the movie that resonated with me a LOT.... I spend way too much time thinking through dark 'what if' scenarios than is healthy. Almost to a paralyzing degree.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    So their 'religion' has an order of magnatude fewer adherents that the actual trans population of Scotland. Small bonus, I guess. At least my Scottish sisters and brothers can overwhelm them in pure numbers, lol.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    She's willing to put a Republican in her cabinet if she thinks they would be good in the spot, which is more gracious than I would have been. I don't have a problem with that, on paper, assuming said cabinet member is fit for the role. Seem to be fewer and fewer Republican politicians I can say...

    Yea. Nintendo is still Nintendo(for all the good and bad that is) and dos its own thing with a library different than what you see on the other two consoles.(outside of a lot of the same indie games, of course)

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    https://gizmodo.com/truth-social-users-are-losing-ridiculous-sums-of-money-to-scams-2000506604 A social media company founded by a conman attracts a bunch of people who are easy to scam? Sounds like it's probably working as expected.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Blink IS technically open source. It would be possible to fork it and strip out all the telemetry. Problem is all the browsers that use it just turn around and add their own telemetry to their modified code.

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    I'm sure Comcast/Sky doesn't care to much about the IP and licenses it out to just about anyone willing to throw a bit of cash their way.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    The Blink engine, is a good one, but we shouldn't be reliant on a single engine for most of the available browsers, especially considering who controls said engine. Of course oddly enough, Chrome wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Safari and Safari wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for KDE...

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    You're not gonna like this, but Comcast owns the ZX spectrum IP via its Sky subsidiary.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Opera is also a reskinned Chrome. That's part of the problem.

    Edge is a tweaked chrome. Likely referencing Firefox.

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    Some company called Coleco Holdings apparently snapped up all the Coleco video game IPs. Company seems a little shady, they were involved with the whole Coleco Chameleon vaporware thing several years ago(granted, they blamed their manufacturing partner in the whole affair)

    The Great Console War is Finally Over

    More accurately 'company that bought he Atari brand from it's previous owner buys the IP of Atari's former rival from the current owner of said ip'. Both original companies have been long gone for decades.

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    The bit near the end with the panic attack hit me hard, like real hard. Maybe it's because how it was depicted was VERY close to my own experiences....

    Star's Reach, new game by Raph Koster

    Well, I got myself into the pre-alpha testing of Raph's new game Stars Reach. It's an upcoming sandbox MMO with similarities, mechanics wise, to the pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies but with a complex world-simulation running under the hood and deformable terrain. Went through my first test last night...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I think the issue was they were getting so many arbitration requests that it was impacting their business. Probably figured it was easier just to get a judge to call the cases meritless and get them thrown out of court

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Once again, arbitration clauses should be illegal. Valves reason for ditching them isn't exactly altruistic, though.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    It's a bit more complicated than that. A lot of asylums were using dubious techniques that were doing more harm than good, resulting in a backlash against them which didn't exactly help them get extra funding and ended up getting not only the bad ones shut down but many of the good ones as...
