I just gave a talk at the public library in my town. I was able to teach a bunch of people how to use a Password Manager and it was awesome.

I spent over an hour and half playing Beat Saber this morning and it was an absolute workout.

@killyourfm @tedium what's that first one?

@killyourfm

Thank you, Jason! I appreciate that.

When I said "out of time" I didn't mean I've run out of time, I meant more that I'm "out of place in this age."

I feel like the world I was promised as a child was robbed from me. Where men of good conscience and strong character were bound to find success.

Instead, it seems like the scam artists and those with compromised morals are the ones who rise above.

I'm a man out of time, bound by principals and an inviolable knowledge of right versus wrong. And because of that, I'll never get ahead. That's a somber realization.

What really irritates me is when people don't understand who I am, what I stand for, or why I do the things I do.

I mean, it's annoying when it's YouTube comments from strangers. It's another thing entirely if it's your own family.

I believe it's impossible for a corporation to be "leftist." Even charities and social purpose corporations. They're all to the right of center at a minimum.

@gamingonlinux whoa! That's a non-standard way of dying. Were they RGB or just white?

I popped my keycaps off and flipped it over. Busted out my older keyboard and it's a very different typing experience. Haha

I just spilled tea all over my keyboard. Great.

@killyourfm my services are available and I charge a lot less than that. Haha.

The culture of the Fediverse discourages people (me) from replying to things to things with which I disagree with bullshit, snark, and sarcasm. I love that.

Twitter is just god-awful now. And Threads is worse in a different way. Thank #FOSS for Mastodon.

I am in favor of a corporate "death" penalty. Where corporations that actively pursue monopolies are seized, nationalized, and/or auctioned off into pieces.

@killyourfm @popey @cassidy if Nintendo truly cared about preventing "piracy," they'd sell their games on PC. But they don't, so we can deduce that this is about intimidation, bullying, and maintaining an illegal monopoly over their artificial market.

@killyourfm @popey @cassidy what if I told you that, whether Switch emulators exist or not, people would still play pirated games on [clutches pearls] **official hardware**?

That is to say, Yuzu wasn't encouraging piracy. Nintendo's own business model of hardware exclusivity is.

@ThePlant @killyourfm @thelinuxEXP I'm game. Wanna do one this weekend?
