There are plenty of other subjects to make games about. I can’t imagine the rage that people I know must have for this thing. Online petitions probably don’t make a difference, but fuck it.

Freedom alone was never enough. For freedom to be worth anything you have to care about people, understand their experiences, know the limits of your own perspective. You have to understand the ways in which people are vulnerable where you are not.
Freedom that doesn't care about other people is simply Ego.
If you, or somebody you know, are interested in live streaming outside of the existing corporate ecosystems or want to try something new, the #owncast project is going to offer some free instances that we manage for people who don't have the experience or resources to do so themselves. We'll start small, but share this with your friends, family, non-profits, creative organizations or anybody who might want to live stream using Owncast.

I feel some of my own experiences echoed here. Damon has good perception. "Tastemaker" isn't a word I've come across before, but it reflects and sums up something that I find deeply unhealthy about how contemporary culture prioritises discourse over individual taste/experience, particularly for games

I was pretty fed up with the behavior of 'df', so I wrote my own diskfree tool.
It's called 'duf', it's written in #golang, and you can get it here: https://github.com/muesli/duf
On ArchLinux, you can simply install 'duf' from the AUR.
@jplebreton heh, I was just reading the Orz language entry in the Ultronomicon
Federation is the place people go when they don't want to be part of, or subject to, centrally controlled systems. It is also where people go when they've finally been kicked off those systems. The fediverse isn't inherently progressive, and without robust shared defensive measures - both against centralization and against bad actors -it will go the way of Usenet.
