i'm so tired of seeing otherwise cool and smart people completely lose their minds whenever partisan (or intra-partisan) politics come about.

this applies to everyone, no matter if socialist, progressive, liberal, centrist, conservative or anything else.

hey.

if i ever make any of you feel uncomfortable with my online behavior, please just tell me to stop instead of silently blocking or muting me.

...i don't have the best social skills :-(

dork needs friends badly

mastodon is the only service i've seen where i want to fall in love with half of the people and become good friends with the other half. ^_^

i just want a cross-platform audio/video player that supports video game chiptune formats and winamp skins

weird how _all_ trans and non-binary people are valid and, if they want to, also cute <3

not gonna be surprised if the zoomers, or whatever the generation that's studing in schools and universities right now is called, end up all contributing to our scientific understanding of the world in the way no previous generation ever has

i'll be honest, the fact that so many people, like, actually had to look up and read scientific papers to an extent where they routinely use piracy-based services is kinda surprising to me

for all my time in uni, i don't remember doing it even once

so, this whole brexit situation in many ways depended on the european union's position that free movement of goods, services and capital must also be supplemented with free movement of people.

and i understand the moral argument: immigration restrictions are bad, and if free trade can be an incentive to establish free immigration in a country, that's good.

but is there a purely political/economical argument for it as well? i don't think an organization as big as the european union, which includes nations all the way from spain to hungary, really has a singular ethical position on immigration. did the e.u. actually have something to gain from making sure europeans could freely enter and leave the u.k. (or as freely as possible given it wasn't in the schengen area)?

are the first three free movements actually incomplete or smth without the fourth? could the e.u. function if it were only concerned with free movement of goods, services and capital and _not_ people?

what if: an outrun-style racing game that renders tracks and obstacles based on openstreetmap data

hey everyone, does @CuttingRoomWiki@twitter.com have an 88x31 banner image?

the problem i imagine is: without control either by the state or by a large corporation, would it be possible to link all the required industries together (resource extraction, production of necessary chips and components, etc.)?

and it's not even about all the exploitation that goes into producing one right now -- i believe it is possible (if less profitable) to produce a modern device purely locally w/o relying on conflict materials and stuff like that.

i think my position is less "i doubt a non-capitalist society will be able to produce food and shelter" and more "i doubt a non-capitalist society will be able to replicate the supply chains necessary to produce modern technology, such as tvs, computers and phones"

so, an early prototype of "ducktales" for the nes was found, and it has a way different menu theme: https://tcrf.net/Proto:DuckTales_(NES)/Feb_5,_1989

given that the final game reuses the menu theme for the level clear and the ending, i think the earlier tune fits the latter way better.

krasnogorsk, moscow oblast, russia and redmond, wa, usa should be sister cities at least on the basis that their names mean the same thing and the fact they're not is disappointing >_<

i decided to change cellphone operators and now it's 7 days left until my new plan takes over my old one's number.

like, i'm pretty sure the n.s.a. wouldn't hire someone whose public position is that edward snowden's leaks are good (which they are, btw).
