Jack Thompsons and ambulance chasing school shooter lawyers will ruin games and gamedevs won't take crypto because some bluesky thread said it kills more people than diesel vws did
These people agree with everything that sack of shit Ana Valens has been working towards for over a decade now, and NOW they're trying to pull the "gamers are being attacked" card?
@mrsaturday I regret to inform you that the other side of the debate is just as retarded.
The KF thread on this is full of people who forgot the history of KF (subject to the same shit btw) and think this is a good thing to own those gooners, just because they get to own the people they hate.
@mrsaturday Or to quote a post elsewhere, we're gonna be in for dark times because the feminists and boomer cons discovered they share one thing in common.
@mrsaturday The payment processor question is never gonna be solved if there are no active confrontations. I assume people on Fedi have a backlog or haven't forgotten how torrents work.
@slipgate @mrsaturday hentai games are often easier to pirate than to buy because the pirated copies are pre-patched and have better translations, so one solution to the payment processor question is offer the games for free, including a blurb like "you can show your appreciation for this free game by checking out these non-adult (strangely overpriced for the content) games"
Like how a VPN guards against your ISP but not against the government which has a backdoor into your VPN, neither this nor crypto guard you against all dangers. KYC and public blockchains allow shady retaliation with crypto, and some bullshit Australian agency could decide based on subpeoned playtime data that the hentai games are the real product and shut down sales of the non-adult games. Paypal or a payment processor could also make that determination based on no hard data.
So I'd still prefer that governments kick payment processors in the nuts.
@mrsaturday @slipgate some feminist group can take credit for pushing for this, but I figure the push was accepted, instead of resisted, ultimately out of an anti-competitive impulse. Payment processors want you to consume Jewish porn instead of Japanese porn.
Yeah there's no reason to assume a magic group of trannies made this happen when payment processors do it for free. At worst they just flagged and reported it
It is important for the control system of EU to have countries like this, instead of countries like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. 😉 Maybe Reinhardt Gehlen had a vision of this.😎 If you adopt their vision, they don't seem like morons. Of course not, because then you are a moron. What we want is what "Czechia" wants to stop.

Anyone else's day suddenly get co-opted into helping his dad figure out how to get access to Quicken 2002 files from off a 10-year old cheap Windows laptop he unfortunately allowed a friend to load Windows 10 onto thus rendering his old Quicken program inoperable?
@MummaBear Fortunately, the files themselves are saved in Dropbox (I made him do this years ago because I anticipated something like this was going to eventually happen). He just no longer owns a computer that can run Quicken 2002, so he can't access the files.
Will give it a try. My current path is to try to get Quicken 2004 to run, then convert 2002 to a 2004 file. Then install Quicken 2013 (the last before they switched to subscription service) and then see if I can convert 2004 to 2013. That should keep him running for a while, at least.
He tends to think computers are like Star Trek - buy them once and they work forever without any problems or changes.

I am wasting my time this morning trying to fix a bathroom sink. Looks like the aerator is clogged, but it’s stuck and I can’t get the damn thing off.
Checked the supply lines and there is plenty of pressure, so the “clog” in the faucet must be in the line going to the outlet/aerator.
Currently soaking it in vinegar to see if there are any calcium/mineral deposits that have locked it up. If that doesn’t work, any other suggestions for getting the aerator off?
@scottdhansen I was thinking of trying to heat it, but I’m not quite sure how to do it since the aerator is plastic, and if I pulled out the torch, it would melt.
@eriner aerators on my Moens routinely grow black goo mildew I guess they stay wet with all the crevices and it invites nasty snots to grow. I sanitize them once in awhile with CLR or vinegar. On mine you can take screens out and reassemble it or just soak it. They’re gross.
@eriner I don’t think I’ve ever removed the aerator since the faucet was replaced 13 years ago, mainly for this exact reason. I could never get it to turn while the faucet was in place.
I’ve made sure to regularly clean the one in the powder room, but the main bathroom is the realm of the women-folk. Lesson learned.

Please know I’ve missed you these last three weeks as I was on the move again. From Boston to San Francisco, from Minneapolis to Sandy, Utah — we talked about #Gaza and the difference we can make in Gaza and for Gaza.
I thought to finally send you an update — long overdue.
#GazaSoupKitchen Update: The Sugar is $100, But Our Spirits Are Free
Dear friends, supporters, and fellow believers in the power of food and love,
We’re back with a dispatch from the heart of the chaos — Gaza. Where prices fluctuate faster than Bitcoin and the “sugar market” is apparently hotter than Wall Street.
True story: sugar in Gaza now costs $100 per kilo. A kilo of flour? That humble pantry staple you can buy in the U.S. for under a dollar? Here, it’s $20.
So how do we keep going?
We invented dynamic budgeting. No joke. Every kitchen’s daily budget shifts based on the price of lentils, pasta, flour, and oil. It’s like running a commodities exchange — but instead of investors, we have uncles with ladles and kids with empty plates. And somehow, we make it work.
We’re now operating 10.5 kitchens (yes, the half counts — it’s part-time but full of heart). These kitchens serve meals daily without fail. Our crew is now 60 strong, with most locations run by a team of six working around the clock, often with little sleep but lots of resolve.
We're also delivering clean water. And our “flexible food” initiative keeps rolling — think falafel wraps one day, fresh mulukhiya leaves the next, and even slushies for the kids. Sweetened not with sugar, but with cough syrup — because cough medicine is one of the few things that still has sugar. That’s where we are now.
Our classroom still runs three times a week, led by our amazing niece Fatema, bringing some structure, joy, and snacks to kids who deserve better than war.
Our medical point is treating up to 85 patients a day, and we send meals to the hospital daily. A warm plate of food might not fix everything, but it can give a parent or child just enough strength to hold on.
But behind every slushie, every lentil pot, there’s pain.
Yesterday, I lost my friend Murad and his entire family. Their tent was bombed. Murad and I went to elementary and middle school together. He was one of the smart kids — we competed for grades. He had a future, a wife, children. Now, nothing. Another bright light extinguished in a place full of ghosts.
And there’s another story that won’t leave me — a Palestinian woman sprinting through the camp in a panic, trying to find a spoonful of sugar for her husband who had slipped into a diabetic coma. She knocked on every tent. Nothing — no dates, no candy, no halva. She returned after 15 minutes to find him gone. He didn’t die from a bomb. He died from the blockade. From cruelty masked as policy.
Now people sweeten tea with canned pineapple syrup. That’s what survival looks like.
Still — we go on. Most of our operations focus on the west of Gaza, where nearly a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering. And we continue to show up. Even when the fire under the stove isn’t just metaphorical.
We’re hearing that more aid may enter Gaza by Thursday. If it does, prices could drop — even if just a little. That’s what hope looks like now: praying sugar costs less than gold.
We’re also speaking out — engaging the media, pushing back against disinformation, and confronting bad actors like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. We will not rest until the people responsible for this suffering are held accountable.
We’ve never stopped. Not for a day. Not when we were displaced. Not when flour disappeared. Not when the skies rumbled.

And now, a call to action — from one human to another:
If you have the capacity to give, please consider sending a gift. No amount is too small when you're being starved. Your generosity helps us keep cooking, keep serving, and keep hope alive — one meal at a time.
Thank you for taking action for Gaza. And thank you for standing with us — and with organizations like #UNRWA, who continue to do critical, life-saving work in Gaza while under constant attack.
Your love and care are felt here every single day.
With sorrow, hope, and slushies made of cough syrup,
The Gaza Soup Kitchen Team

Riddle me this Android users, why are there over 50 updates a week for ap;ps on the phone? Isn't it time for developers to really do some bug checking before deploying because when you read the notes the majority is to deal with bugs?
If you add up the number of phones and the amount of current it takes to download and install on a single phone it's negligible but with 150 million devices it adds up.

☣️ Un second pesticide interdit dans l'Union Européenne retrouvé sur le site BASF de Genay
Suite à l'inspection citoyenne menée par les faucheuses et faucheurs volontaires d'OGM le lundi 23 juin dans les locaux de BASF à Genay près de Lyon (piaille.fr/@lessoulevements/11…) et qui avait permis de trouver une palette de 250kg de Fastac et un bidon de 50kg de sa substance active "alpha-cyperméthrine" (piaille.fr/@lessoulevements/11…), un second pesticide interdit dans l'union européenne a été identifié : le dimpropyridaz, exporté depuis longtemps par BASF au Brésil.
Nous vous relayons le communiqué d'hier des faucheur-reuses volontaires d'OGM :

🔬🔖Inspection citoyenne de l'usine BASF de Genay (69)
Les Faucheuses et Faucheurs d’OGM se sont introduits hier matin dans l’usine du groupe agrochimique BASF à Genay, près de Lyon pour réaliser une inspection citoyenne.
🎓 Pour la rentrée 2025, je lance un projet de #reconditionnement d’ordinateurs à destination d’élèves et de familles qui n’en ont pas, pour contribuer à réduire la #FractureNumérique (avec, je l’espère, des élèves motivés pour m’aider ! ^^).
Je cherche donc :
→ Une distribution GNU/Linux libre (sans clause NC) spécifiquement dédiée à l’éducation au second degré — une sorte de PrimTux pour le collège/lycée : ça existe ?
À défaut, quels seraient selon vous les meilleurs choix parmi :
1. PrimTux (interface trop enfantine pour des ados ?) 2. Debian Edu (solide, peut-être trop austère ?) 3. Trisquel Edu (je ne connais pas) 4. Emmabuntüs DE4 (je ne connais pas non plus) 5. EdUbunutu 6. Linux Mint Xfce personnalisé (qu’on bricolerait et transformerait en ISO maison — intéressant mais chronophage)
Je compte toutes les installer et les tester avec les élèves. Mais s’il y en a une qui fait déjà référence autant le savoir dès maintenant 🙂
Super projet, bravo. Emmabuntüs fait un très beau travail avec sa distro, mais je ne sais pas si c'est vraiment spécifique pour l'éducation, surtout pour le reconditionnement. emmabuntus.org/
Sinon, éventuellement, "créer" une distro en partant de Debian Live-build, ce qui permet d'en faire ce qu'on veut avec les outils et l'interface qu'on veut ?

In the premiere episode of DEFCON ZERQ, Alpha Warrior (combat vet Marine & former LEO) and Josh Reid (military vet) launch an unfiltered series breaking down the origins, evolution, & real-world impact of the movement often called “Q.” They trace its roots to a long-running military intel operation dating back to the mid-2000s, when constitutional-minded generals began tracking stolen special access program technologies
In the premiere episode of DEFCON ZERQ, Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid launch an unfiltered series breaking down the origins, evolution, and real-world impact of the movement often called “Q.” They trace
and infiltration by foreign adversaries. The hosts recount pivotal events: nuclear triggers sent to China, suspicious air mishaps, the rise of Snowden, and the creation of the “Q Group” tasked with stopping leaks. They describe how the digital revolution, memes, short videos, and decentralized media, allowed citizen journalists to bypass mainstream narratives and fuel a global awakening.
From Hillary Clinton’s secret emails to uranium deals, election interference, and
the sudden emergence of Trump as a countermeasure, the episode ties together decades of covert maneuvers. Throughout, Alpha and Josh emphasize this is not entertainment, it’s a psychological and information war built on breadcrumbs, plausible deniability, and public participation. This foundational discussion sets the stage for a multi-part series exploring how movement warfare, symbolism, and narrative control are shaping the fight for America’s future.
1. Erdogan, Turkey's autocrat, politicizes the central bank, replaces its director, and demands lower interest rates. (He's more successful than Trump has been so far because Turkey is farther along the road to autocracy.) 2. Inflation soars to 85%. 3. Voters are enraged. A pro-democracy opposition candidate, Istanbul's mayor, gains support. 4. Erdogan has the mayor arrested for "corruption and terrorism."
If Canadians & the world need another reason to boycott visiting the economy run by a fascist pedophile who threatens to annex us:
Due to a provision in Trump's "big, beautiful bill", visitors to the United States will now have to pay a “visa integrity fee,” of $250.00. The fee applies to all visitors and cannot be waived.
The US tourist industry has already lost billions. It will now lose trillions.
As an aside, visiting Canada's beautiful national parks this summer is free for everyone!
