If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.

No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps

Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

I think Roald Dahl thought Willy Wonka was good and unions are bad and the Oompa Loompa shit was fine, like I think he just wasn't a good guy. Sometimes I see people talk about how they could make a version where Wonka is the bad guy and they talk about it like that's not a subversion like it's within the creator's vision for the story and I think that's silly

also why does Baldur's Gate 3, a game with all player-sexual romance characters, not allow polyamory? It would literally be less work to just not have relationships influence each other, and it would be the same amount of work to have minimal dialogue acknowledging polyamory as to have minimal dialogue disallowing it

I think about this a lot.

Happy to announce that I'm collaborating with NESdev veterans on a proper WonderSwan reference wiki, in order to unify the console's documentation. The wiki is provided under a public domain CC0 license, so you can use it without worries!

Gemeenten zijn raar. Soms doen ze maanden over het zetten van een stempeltje en moet je er zelf *binnen kantooruren* achteraan bellen om te ontdekken dat ze het gedaan hebben, en soms meld je 's nachts om 3:30 dat een verkeersbord versleten is en krijg je om 11:30 fotografisch bewijs dat ze een nieuw bord hebben opgehangen.

True.

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

So it seems there are a lot of CAMRip versions of Barbie out there where the pirates now put ads inside the pirated piss-poor copies. This baffles me. People who pirate do want to avoid ads, and more importantly, who would pay the pirates to do that? Can only be shifty.
