Back in the era where distrohopping meant having a whole spindle of burned CDs with distro names scribbled on them in marker.

Unimportant poll, but please boost.

If you lost your phone and needed to call someone in an emergency, how many close friends' or relatives' phone numbers do you have memorised?

Me: I should make an effort to meet some people my own age

People My Own Age: It was lovely to meet you last week. I seem to be having a gender crisis now, can you help?

Hello everyone!! I've been working on a small project during the past few weeks.

It's a website that showcases a different small free game each day, which is selected entirely random.

If you want to take a look at it and/or submit one of your games, you can do it through here: https://gameoftheday.org/

@joepie91 There's even a lawsuit about whether runescape gold counts as a currency or not for the purposes of taxation, because two dutch gold selling sites got taxed differently. (imo much funnier than the much more famous 'runescape-arrest')

I enjoy video games because they allow me to live out my most perverted and unrealistic fantasies, like having a positive impact on the world

as a transfem it actually scares me that i am only seeing people talk about "transfem solidarity" anymore instead of "trans solidarity" like what the absolute fuck

like, im not surprised, ive been yelling into the void about shit like this for months it feels like, this is not okay you cant keep slicing off more and more of an intersectional, pluralistic revolutionary movement down to some core of imagined purity of identity and expect it to be meaningful or productive, not when youve alienated and dehumanized every marginalized community that ostensibly believes in your humanity and autonomy as much as you do but wont work with you against a common foe because of your need for control

I made a neat terminal-friendly cross hatching effect with unicode

My cousin now needs a liver transplant due to getting COVID.

Also, as a reminder to everyone else:
The COVID vaccines do not work on people with a transplanted organ!

boost this for wider reach, need public input

chat, are there any resources to learn NGT (Dutch Sign Language)? i don't expect like, resources for English speakers so pretty much anything will work (but if those exist then on god please drop them by)

i'm thinking of an alternative path for communication that is less weird than using the notes app or a TTS in case my mutism persists for a very long time if not forever

many thanks in advance btw

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

Not to treat privilege like a scarlet letter. But it's just like I want ppl to be reminded that the act of not needing mutual aid is a privilege that many in this economy don't have. They don't have a choice to just not get needs met. Or that ends in social death and actual death.

I really feel like "whether or not you will shut down or transfer ownership of the instance, and to whom, and if they will move your data to a new legal landscaped region, if you want to stop running it" is something that should be thought about ahead of time and put in your instance info, and updated if that changes.

That's a headline of the day right there.
