I have described Japan for a long time as being more "perennialist" than most countries. One example of that is how for quite a while it has been a culture where Buddhism and Shinto can coexist with no conflict at all and people are willing to get value out of both without committing exclusively to one or the other. -

Also worth mentioning that the Vatican, of course, pushed the shots (with the exception of some people, that turned against the Vatican itself because of that). Every major church did and almost all of the small ones too. And by those words and enforcement, people have died and been harmed. Really, religious institutions might as well all be the Church of Satan. By the way, the Russian orthodox church did the same thing and still got a pass from people like Luke Smith, that were saying that the orthodox people are totally based and against the narrative. https://social.076.moe/url/137789 -

Every single time. It also disregards the fact that kids growing up online in the 90s and 2000s did not need anyone's protection from this stuff. I saw porn online when I was like, 8, and my reaction to it was general disinterest, and I wasn't interested in 3D until my late teens.
Anyway, it's not about the porn, it's about taking that first step towards requiring digital ID for everything. Porn is an easy target, because most people are too fucking cowardly to defend it. No politician wants to be the guy that defended porn. Really, politicians pretty much all deserve the guillotine. -

Well, yeah, normalfags are objectively pretty broken people (good article, by the way: https://koshka.love/autism/neurotypical-disorder.html ), just look at... everything about them. And I call them normalfags, because ironically, normalfags have ruined the term normie. But they will never ruin normalfag, because they will never say fag, because they're normalfags and therefore don't say words that the TV told them are bad. So, the term is safe from their corrupting influence. -

Watch them remove Nidoran Male and change Nidoran Female to Nidoran Womyn. And add hundreds of Nidoran Trans variations. Also, just wait a generation or two and they'll make the pokemon ugly too, because they ruined the female characters, but there are still some pokemon designs that people may still want to fap to (a cat is fine too), and that would be getting some enjoyment out of the franchise, and they can't have that.
Anyway, I don't think these games are even worth pirating. Even if they were already loaded into a Nintendo Switch right in front of me, even that would be too much work and not worth my time. I'd rather just watch videos making fun of the game, I actually do enjoy that a lot. So, in a way, I'd rather have them make the games even worse, instead of mediocre, because then at least the games are more fun to shit on. Though if that happens, then the franchise really is dead, and that is very sad. It's already bordering on irreparable, though. https://social.076.moe/url/122292 -

I heard of that but didn't look into it at all because I have more important things to do, like playing Minetest, and researching ThinkPads.
By the way, check out the list of laptops Libreboot supports:
https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#laptops-intel-x86
More models are supported now. I know you hoard them a bit, so time to buy before people find out! And the W541 is mentioned in the latest release too ( https://libreboot.org/news/libreboot20221214.html ), even though it's not there. So, apparently now you can Libreboot ThinkPads with i7s, and the T440p supports 16 GB of RAM, and the W541 supports 32 GB. Also, the X220 and X230 are now supported.
Not a whole lot of information out yet, though. Seems like nobody knows. Sshhh, it's a secret. -

That term reminds me of the George Carlin quote:
"I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic fucking hatreds."
( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=55X1akuXp5c )
Because that is exactly how I feel about it. Pretty sure I have hated it from the moment I first heard it, on pure instinct, and only figured out why afterwards. https://social.076.moe/url/113156 -

Well, C doesn't really solve the problem considering that most programs are written in C (or maybe a little less than C++, I don't even know) and almost all of them have some major issue, and don't run nearly as well as they should. And that is pretty much any program that does not run in a terminal emulator, and even the terminal emulators are not all that fast. Why does xterm take a visible moment to open? How is that even possible?
How is it still almost impossible to have a GUI program that runs smoothly? Not to speak of UI design, it hasn't improved at all, it even moved backwards. The only programs that have the performance that you would expect and programs that just remove everything, to the point that people have developed an antidesign mindset, you see less user interface design than you saw on fucking DOS.
Like, I use programs like that, with no UI at all, because they are the only ones that work, or are just the best for me for some extensibility purpose or some feature, or they just perform so much better than I can't justify using say, a GTK equivalent.
Still, I look at what I'm doing, and it's absurd, it makes no sense for these things to perform so poorly when graphical interfaces have existed for 50 years. And all this shit is written in C. And I don't think it would be better if it was written in x86 assembly or Brainfuck.
Really, the entire computing paradigm is flawed, it's all a huge disaster and pretty much everything is to blame. I would say that it's the biggest clusterfuck that humanity has ever produced, but can it really beat civilization itself? Or just itself, humanity has made itself the way that it is now. The monkey instincts are to blame too, but at some point people have to take the blame for choosing not to get that shit under control. -

This is just step 1 of some plan, I guarantee it. They always come for the porn first to set some precedent because people are too cowardly to defend it. -

Just another turd to stack on top of shit mountain (Or maybe shit temple? Highly-recommended website: https://project-mage.org/on-flexibility ).
C: "We took ALGOL and made it worse."
C++/Java: "We took C and made it worse, and also called it object-oriented to be trendy and ruined the actual concept forever to the point of being disowned by its creator."
Rust: "We took C++ and made it worse."
Every other language that looks even slightly like C: "We took C and made it worse and also slow."
Meanwhile our operating systems are still basically 70s mainframes and glorified typewriters and calculators, that can't do graphics to save their lives and can't even display a graphical interface without a few seconds of loading, even though those are about as old as C and existed when the Bell Labs people were still editing text in fucking ed. Also, our hardware is designed like shit and to run nothing but shit.
Anyway, at least GNU is working on a Rust implementation, so the corporations won't TOTALLY monopolize it. So it's actually getting less bad, technically. -

"rounded edges of windows"
Wait, you just made me realize... on Windows 11, they replaced every program, including the entire UI, with Edge, but they also removed the edges from the windows. https://social.076.moe/url/89426 -

No, but it wouldn't matter anyway, just like it didn't then. They just paid a fine (that I'm sure the judge or some politician enjoyed), and kept doing what got them sued in the first place, with no consequences at all. -

It's not even just nowadays. Translations in the past were frequently very bad. Games already had some censorship in the past (a lot of it because of retarded religious shit, and also really arbitrary complete nonsense, like certain words being "violent"), but they were also translated like shit because the people doing it didn't really know Japanese, or didn't really know English, or didn't know either, and/or did not give a shit because "kids are retarded, they don't know quality, and it's just a game and games don't matter". Really, it was always pretty bad. When I see that something has a fan translation, I tend to go with that over the official because I trust random fans way more to be accurate than I trust any fucking business. -

For the purpose of selling, I'd definitely pick Devuan over Artix. Though realistically, whoever buys it will probably just install Windows on it anyway. -

Very good idea, actually. Basically an officially-released mod. That solves everything. Hell, they can't even ban it from being sold, in that case. The only sad thing is that the physical copies will need online patches to play as intended. Still, less sad than going to jail for importing something the government doesn't like, which can happen. -

That would be great, but also pretty much impossible. Would probably not sell nearly as much, and it would only work for physical copies of games, that most people don't buy anymore. In the case of PC, I'm not even sure that they still exist. Hell, a lot of game discs are empty and the game is just downloaded from the internet anyway.
Anyway, this is a big reason why I wanted to learn Japanese. It's actually not as much of a problem for older games, because a lot of them have unofficial translations, even though an official one exists, because it's complete shit. and fans did it better. Of course, I just started leaving games like that for later, but then I ended up not playing them for years and now I can't play newer games anyway, and also, seems kinda silly to make future investments in my position, considering that I don't think I have much of a future anyway.
And there are plenty of other things I can do, like actually enjoying things that have been translated while that is still possible. Even if I do have a future, the sun will probably nuke technology out of existence anyway, so most of human culture will be wiped out. Only books can really survive, but even then, the floods will take care of most of those. -

The kool kidz klub list that we all aspire to be in one day. Along with being banned from Israel, those two go together for some reason. I'm sure it's just a coincidence!
