These are actually pretty good for NA (https://athleticbrewing.com/)

Rocket League. Games are quick, you can play one or many in a session. I don’t know if epic has ruined it yet, but last I played the good old core game was still there.

Right, you do have to understand that either way, if you put something on the public internet, it is gone.

I don’t want a company to sell my data, making money off of me, then having the audacity to ask me for MORE money on top (nitro). It feels gross.

I don’t mind sharing bits of myself online otherwise.

The owners of federated instances can also just start selling your data too at any point. And as you said, advertisers will also just scrape public data trivially. Basically, the internet and world is a terrible place.

I had such a good time watching this movie. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship, and got tickets to see it at the Alamo draft house in SF in whatever amount of millimeter film is the cool one. It gave me life. I will never forget.

Also big lolz at more feet stuff were had haha, he knows what he’s doing.

But Discord has cultivated a queer membership by serving a different need than those platforms: privacy.

Yeah, gonna stop reading right there. Discord is absolutely selling your data. Nothing against inclusivity features though.

Discord became ubiquitous because it works well, and is free. Take VC money, run at loss, get tons of users, enshittify, die because something better becomes good enough. It’s just another one of those speed runs, which will happen over and over again until the end of humanity.

It was a wild ride, and so fun to look at, well deserved!

It doesn’t NEED to be anything, this is run by Ernest, for free. It’s worse than that, he is paying for it and not being subsidized with ad revenue. He can totally ask for help if he wants, he can also say no to that and continue running the site on his own. You are not entitled to this, good grief.

This is like complaining that the little mom and pop sandwich shop can’t product sandwiches as fast and uniformly as Subway. This clearly isn’t for you, just go to Reddit or something if you want stability. I love the little slices of janky internet we get from activitypub, im sick of everything needing to become highly available around the globe supporting millions of requests per second with no downtime tolerance.

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?

The code is open source, you read it all, ensure that you download exactly the code you read, and you compile it yourself. That’s the only way, in general, to accomplish this.

The flavor type Pokémon has no known weaknesses

 

I’m looking for a self hosted solution to this problem:

I want to create a full text search index from a collection of PDF manuals (text, not images, I don’t care about OCR here). There is a UI to search for text matches in documents, and clicking a search hit opens the PDF scrolled to where the search hit is (bonus points if the search hit is hilighted)

 

Deleted my 10+ year old reddit account years ago, along with all other social shit. Fun to see everyone else finally catching up :)

Stop giving VC backed companies free data. Please, I beg you all. I know this is preaching to the choir but I just wish more people gave a shit.

It’s bad enough that these companies pay other shitty companies for data dumps on you, but handing it over in absolute dump truck loads yourself for free is stupid.

It’ll never change. Those same shitty companies will just scrape these new communities in due time. I don’t have a point I guess, the world is fucked and the cycle will continue. May as well fight the good fight though.
