Is this good with you?

@Suiseiseki Can I edit it a little to make the links work? Because as of now they are just plain text. I want to just name the text "Source" and it would link to the link.

@Suiseiseki Can you copy paste the same comment, into the comment section in the website?

We can make #Windows11 be a better system if we can force #Microsoft to make it #FreeSoftware . Here is how:

We should stop using #GDP to measure how well people are doing. Instead we should measure #Freedom !!!

@Suiseiseki The weird thing is that not a lot of people understand the significance of these news.

@SuperDicq what are you using your time on? If you actually have those 7-8 hours, maybe just set some reminders. It will feel like you have less time, but you will gain time on weekends by sleeping less.

@gtbarry Smart people knew all along that giving some company DNA data is a bad idea in the first place.

@Jakra @tama More than that. Murder is like the worst of them. The rest of the crimes take one, two freedoms at best. In reality internationally murder is only at roughly 0.0076% not 10% that would have been net zero if mass surveillance could stop 100% of it.

@Jakra @tama I've calculated that privacy violations are only barely start to be justifiable if more than 10% of all people in the country are murderers. Not even like thieves. Actual murders.

( I will be publishing my calculations soon )

@Jakra @tama If we take freedom as base for human rights. We can derive from it 10 roughly identical freedoms. Such as free speech, privacy etc. A murderer killing a person takes the person entire spectrum of freedom for this person's rest of potential life. So lets say 10% are murderers each killing 1 person. They take 10% of all freedom in the country.

Now privacy is 10% since we have 10 of freedoms. If all 100% of people are under surveillance 10% of freedom is lost.

Improvement of zero!

@henry I hate how seemingly strangely patterned the QR code is. This is unusual. Is there a way to learn what it encodes without executing anything?

Should we stop saying #spying when talking about #privacy and instead say #stalking ?

@Suiseiseki See there is a big difference between reality and arcadiness. And it is a very hard balancing act to make a racing game with broad appeal. Cars are hard and if they are too realistic, nobody will want to play the game. Big racing studious put a lot of research into the perfect level of realism, so that people will actually enjoy the game. Free Software games barely have that. STK is complete nonsense and stuff like Speed Dream is too hard for average joe.

@Suiseiseki Well you are right in some extend. And for the most part comping up with design ideas on my own is enough. But sometimes I just want to know how, say drifting of cars feels like in say the new Need For Speed. And I was a video about where it is shown. And then I try to replicate this in my game.

@Suiseiseki I'm trying to make free software games that are indistinguishable in presentation from proprietary game, to break the argument that proprietary games are somewhat better. We did that with software and operating systems. Now the last frontier. Games.

@Suiseiseki @SuperDicq I tend to see watching people play proprietary games as research into whats missing from Free Software games. And then I spend time, usually, coding it into Dani's Race or something.

@SuperDicq What's hololive?
