BTC could drop to 15K tomorrow and I'd laugh about it.
I'm more concerned that the principle of self-custody is being eroded and that trusted third parties are being normalized.

Installing some old games. I'm just now learning that Epic delisted all the old UTs. This is why it's nice to either get physical games or get your games through GOG (or pirate them, especially if they are through Epic, fuck you Epic)

If someone tells you not to use Brave Browser, and their primary reason is Brendan Eich, you aren't dealing with a serious person.
If you want Chromium, you use Brave. Otherwise it's hardened Firefox (or some fork of it).

I think if you are into retrogaming and you want to live on the hardware side of things, you either need to have a lot of disposable income or learn to solder. Otherwise just emulate.

If people actually wanted to make Linux more mainstream, they'd spend less time and resources on 50,000 distros and more time on WINE.

I'd appreciate a band that puts out maybe 2 or 3 solid albums, retires on top, and then states that they're too damn old to keep putting out bangers.
I'd respect that move. Everyone just gets older and progressively shittier.

Years ago when I had to operate one, we had like a 30 minute annual training and then we were free to destroy the place.

I've parted with bitcoin a handful of times, and on those occasions just to prove I could. I have found maybe one store within a 100 mile radius that accepts it natively in meatspace.

It's awesome that people are still finding codes in old games. I'm a Castlevania nut, that said, this game goes for about $150 right now, so I'm probably not going to see this on real hardware.

Last week I imported everyone I follow on the Fediverse into Minds. I'm curious how well Mostr.pub bridge works so I'm going to do the same on Nostr. If you get a follow notification, don't feel obligated to follow back, if you do, you'll probably see duplicate posts in your feed. I cross-post to both

@npub14yv…6g3l I've been fighting the Playstation thing for a long time. I got a PS2 in 2019 or something like that haha. I love Xbox, the 360 was the shit, but this push for Gamepass and the phasing out of physical media was it for me. Sony will probably screw me next generation by going all digital, but for now, PS5 games seem to (mostly) have full builds on the discs you buy.
Most of my friends who play games do have Series X's though, so I'm the odd man out.

Your options are extreme cope or bottomless nihilism, and honestly, I'm not sure which is worse.

2024-01-08 14:00:52

I typically buy a Nintendo console at launch, an Xbox mid-to-late gen when its cheap, and a PS "someday." If Xbox goes all digital though, thats a deal breaker.
I suspect the Series X refresh is deal with the Series S' shortcomings, but if they plan to phase out discs, I'm out.

@npub19fy…n5nv that was my thought initially when this whole thing kicked off, but how many people are actually libertarians? 10% of any population maybe? Agentina has wild inflation so people voted for something different. Why allow some guy to corrupt the youth with Rothbard and austrian economics, even though you are going to sabotage things down the line. Theres a chance that 10% becomes 15% or 20%. I get the Trump angle. That would have been the safer play in my book.

2023-12-01 18:49:17

I don't buy the whole "Milei is a WEF stooge" thing.
I'm generally interested here, what would the WEF's plan be putting an fake, sabotaging libertarian in power?

@npub1vud…460v oh no, he's a huge scumbag. Don't trust anyone that wants to put a chip in your head. He's basically an elite welfare junkie anways. I just want him to get in a ring with Zuckerberg and win. My money is on Elon basically laying on Zuck for the win. After that, its back to Elon-hating

2023-07-02 12:23:34

Look, we can all agree, Elon should go fuck himself right now, but now is not the time. We have to pretend to support him.
Extremely pro-Elon until the Elon vs. Zuck Coliseum battle, after that, I'll reevaluate/turn on him. Priorities.

2023-07-01 00:08:36

Value is subjective...
...and therefore it troubles me to think of the price point where a Musk vs. Zuck pay-per-view event would not be worth it.
