Hitler himself may already have been a Jewish puppet. Putin is for sure. Try saying that the holohoax was a fraud in Russia and see what happens. Same thing in the EU, though it varies by country... for now. This entire "war" is a giant fraud. It's like one psychopath banging action figures against each other until they break, except half of your family dies and the rest either starve to death or take the microchips and eat ze bugz. Putin agrees with every single thing that the WEF pushes, and so does the EU's leadership. There is no conflict, they agree on everything. The west even set him up for success, just look at all the blatant sabotage that Biden implemented IMMEDIATELY, to make the west reliant on Russian oil. It's obvious shit. Hitler was probably fake too. Who funded him? Germany was fucked, economically. Where did all those resources come from all of a sudden? Foreign investment, that's where. Hell, they even created an excuse for the creation of Israel, isn't that convenient? https://social.076.moe/url/71700
"good thing when it comes to health care"
Totally government-controlled as opposed to 99%. Just a bunch of psychopaths that want to poison you (and the rest lose their licenses), and you pay for it whether you use it or not, and you don't want to use it unless maybe if not doing it is a death sentence, because they will just poison you. The only health care that actually works is not getting sick in the first place, but in Europe, you'll only get to do that if you avoid eating all the bugs that they are now putting in the food, to give you cancer. You don't even get a gun to kill yourself with, or land to run away to. If anything, America is under such heavy attack because it's the biggest threat to their plans. And they may want the land, because Europe will be obliterated by the polar shift, with the (((convenient))) exception of exactly the region that Davos happens to be right in the middle of.
"and data privacy"
It's a shame that I can only post one image at a time here. What data privacy? There is no place on this planet pushing digital ID for everything harder than Europe, other than maybe Australia, and that's basically part of Europe in everything but geographical location. And technically China, the dictatorship that has already done it and is now pushing it in every other dictatorship too. https://social.076.moe/url/145197
OpenBSD may be the last one to go. Though right now, it has a big browser issue. No LibreWolf on it anymore ( https://librewolf.net/installation/openbsd/ ), and that is the only browser other than Tor that doesn't let the entire web know everything about your system, by default. It's pretty silly to use OpenBSD but then also use fucking Firefox. Or even the webengine or webkit browsers, those don't actively spy on you like Firefox does, but don't hide your information either.
Anyway, the way that the directories are structured is very unimportant (and it sucks on every OS, though Windows does it the worse, it's blatantly structure to hide things from the user). Haiku is probably the most viable OS that is not Unix-based. It runs a decent number of programs, including Emacs, and it comes with bash and all the basic core utils, so it's still a lot like Unix. Unfortunately, because it could be less shit, but also fortunately because it could be even more shit. The window manager is kinda like PekWM in the sense that you can draw a window to another and have both of them in one frame, like tabs. You can also glue them together.
I know, I read the arc. I'm saying what will happen later at this rate, considering how insane the franchise is. They'll bring back Bardock, say that he was never dead, and he will help fight Cyborg Raditz and maybe African American Freeza.
Very nice. I miss most of those from reading the monthly scans. Anyway, it reminds me of the possibility of them revealing that Bardock was alive the whole time. At this point, in Dragon Ball, everything is possible. Maybe they can bring him back to help Gohan Blanco One Hundred Por Ciento fight African American Freeza. Or maybe they can bring him back to fight Cyborg Raditz (made by Doctor 下痢 using his corpse, worked on in secret since he died) during a future arc.
And about Plan 9, I ran 9front on my W500, so I know that it works on ThinkPads. I can't imagine myself using that, though. There are interesting concepts in it that I respect, but it somehow manages to be even less intuitive than Unix itself. And good luck running anything on that too. Haiku is definitely more viable.
I use both and have been using Linux more lately because I need it for my external drives anyway. Though BSD is a reason why I'm reluctant to commit to Guix, it doesn't run on any of them. And using GuixSD and configuring everything with it would be very cool, but would also mean being stuck on Linux (LTS kernel), and Linux is probably not a good thing to be stuck on, it's probably a sinking ship, a sinking ship that increasingly glows in the dark.
When it's good enough. Right now I'm certain that I will change most things, so, it's not very viable. The bindings in particular are tricky, it's hard to decide what to do, and to avoid conflicts.
It doesn't have to be a distribution, though, just a set of configs. It's kind of a shame that the Guix package manager isn't universal, because that would be the best way to distribute that, because you can manage all of your configs from one place, with that Guix Home thing.
It's not, it does work for video as well. I have done it myself, and there is no secret, you just run mpv on a video, in the TTY, and it works. Though it may not work inside of fbterm, and it will definitely not run inside of tmux unless you do some trick to detach and run it in an external shell and then reattach.
Haven't tried that myself, because again, I'm probably not abandoning X, because of the amount of control that I have over everything. Like, I wanted mpv to automatically fullscreen itself, but not in every workspace. I wanted conditional keybindings that do different things depending on the focused program. I wanted a prefix key to open other key maps than can then open other key maps themselves, so I can technically bind a billion things to one key. All done.
Things like that are definitely more doable in X than outside of it, and they are definitely easier with StumpWM than with almost anything else in existence (and it already basically behaves like a terminal multiplexer anyway, which I like). Then there are also tools like xdotool, xcape, xmodmap. And all of that can communicate with terminal programs as well, using tmux as a bridge. I can set bindings to send other bindings to tmux windows that don't even have to be attached, kinda turning programs into daemons, in a way.
Basically, with my current power level, I may need EVERYTHING duct-taped together, to have something that even approaches being acceptable.
Where to put the status bar (for any bar, really) depends on monitor height. Also, you can run mpv in the TTY, but you probably know that. You can't run it inside of a multiplexer, but MAYBE there could be a way. Like, I have been working on my system and have been wanting to integrate tmux into it, so I have this script for running X programs inside of tmux:
if echo $TERM | grep "tmux*" > /dev/null; then
tmux run-shell -b "xdg-open \"$1\" > /dev/null"
else
xdg-open $1 > /dev/null
fi
You could maybe make something like this for the TTY. Maybe that creates a shell in the background, and detaches tmux, runs mpv, and then reattaches afterwards.
There was also directfb, you may be able to use that. I don't know anything about it, but maybe you do because you have been using these systems for longer and was around when this was more of a thing. But apparently it can do windowing. And also, GTK and Qt both supposedly support the TTY, and I think it might be through that. Not sure, but I have seen a picture of Firefox running in a multiplexer, in the TTY. You can also run sdl in the TTY.
Also, fcitx is in fact possible, I remember seeing that as well, and there is a package called fcitx-fbterm-git in the TTY that you may want to check out. And of course, there are image viewers like fbv, and PDF viewers like fbpdf. And there are alternatives to fbterm as well, like mlterm and yaft (both support sixel images, and mlterm is also an X terminal emulator, and it can actually do vertical text, which is kinda cool, and it has an option for using it with fcitx, though I'm not sure that it works in the TTY).
This is all pretty obscure information, so I don't know much about it. Post still ended up gigantic, though. But I personally just use X. Has the advantage that everything is guaranteed to work in it, and is also portable, while framebuffer stuff is a lot more OS-dependent. The problem is that none of this shit is actually integrated, programs all conflict with each other, because these OSs are still basically 70s mainframes and can barely handle monitors correctly, and really would rather use punchcards instead.
May try this stuff more later, but for now I'm busy trying to come up with a set of keybindings that don't suck and that are actually ergonomic, and that I can apply universally, while also preserving defaults and avoiding conflicts (by focusing on the Super and Hyper keys, and also using key sequences after a prefix key, in some cases to switch between different key maps), and integrating all of the terminal multiplexer shit, and all terminal programs (that can't even consistently use all modifiers).
StumpWM and X are making that a lot easier, by translating keys to other keys, and also conditionally translating bindings to other bindings, depending on the selected window. Also, testing framebuffer stuff will really have to be on another computer, because testing that, I have frozen my computer multiple times to the point that nothing could be done and I just had to pull the plug. All inputs were ignored. X may be bad, but it's less bad than the OSs it runs on, so I have accepted it.
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
As far as Touhou goes, it's easy to appreciate from various angles because the music is incredible and the character designs are as well. Anyway, I became really aware of it because of the /jp/ board on 4chan. I did play the games though, so I'm not a filthy secondary (as they say), though I do suck at them (not counting the fighting ones, also, I 1CCed 9 with every character, that's the one that is like Twinkle Star Sprites). And I am aware of ZUN.
I'm one of those people that just never got good at shmups (I have seen other people that can beat some pretty hard games but get annihilated by shmups, no idea what that's all about but it seems to be a thing). I can play anything else on a decent level, but could never get really good at shmups. This is definitely because I haven't played them enough, and the few times that I played one a lot, I either got bored of it or hit a wall and could not break through it. Actually, I think one reason why may be the fact that I can't control the scrolling, which makes the games feel slower even though they're not really slower. Just controlling my own progress through a stage and the feeling of blasting through it really fast, I think is something that I miss in shmups, and didn't play them enough to get used to it.
Anyway, my limited system resources don't help. Unless I close my browsers, the shmups I like and played the most run like complete shit. I was actually pretty close to a Deathsmiles 1CC, years ago, and I really like that game so I would have succeeded, but the performance is really bad and I think it's the emulation. So, I would find a better way to play it, maybe get a new ROM set and a new version of MAME, and run it natively and not in Wine. But MAME suffers on Unix systems because they are designed by addict updooters. I want to update MAME only when I want to, because I'm generally not in the mood to download updates for my games, I just want them not to be fucked with. And of course, I can't play Touhou because Wine is shit. I could run Windows on another computer to play those, but then I'll have to do it on a tiny laptop screen, at an angle. Could do it in a VM, but then the RAM becomes an issue again. The PC-98 ones are an option, I played those a bit a while ago. Still have to set a controller up in DOSBox-X, though. Could just use the keyboard, but my keyboard switches are too heavy (they are medium weight, but I should have picked lighter) and I type too much, so it gets exhausting.
Also, my stick's actuation is too long. Though that one doesn't really matter to me very much for shmups, definitely not as much as I would expect. It hurts me a lot more in games with motions that involve going from up to down very fast and suddenly (that's a bad one), because I very frequently miss that input, though I can still do Guile's super pretty easily in 2X, so it really depends on the speed and whether I can hold a direction first. But for shmups, I'm less picky, probably because I suck, so nothing matters. Hell, pad is pad too, as long as it has turbo so I don't have to mash, because that destroys my thumb.
Yeah, even when I was a kid, with a GBC and a PS1 early on and later emulators (mostly the GBA, that and the PS1 were the systems I was most obsessed with until adulthood), I remember other kids that I knew having no patience for anything with difficulty, though there were still difficult games at the time, and games in general were still challenging to a degree.
Meanwhile I was really into the Rockman games, and those get pretty brutal. My first one was X6, which is infamous for not being designed very well and not being very fair, because it was rushed to release. I beat that an absurd number of times. Hell, I beat all of my favorite games way too many times, because they never got old, and there were so many different things to do, and beating something doesn't mean that you have mastered it. But of course, they got really easy, so that's where ROM hacks came in, for a boost in difficulty.
While all of that happened, gaming moved in the direction of everything being made for babies, and I wasn't even that aware of it because the games that I was playing were not the norm anymore. Really, it doesn't affect me directly, only through it affecting other people. There are newer games I want to play, but I have to be convinced to play them, because older games set my standards higher. And I'm not a consoomer, so a game being newer is not a benefit, it has to convince me that it's worth playing and that it deserves my time, that could be used for an older game instead.
That got me into playing really difficult games, and also beating a lot of older games in general, as an adult. Then I ended up getting into arcade games, because I saw really good players play them and it was very impressive. Those tend to be brutal, and are also not very long because they are very dense. There is no padding, because the game wants to kill you and steal your money, but it also have to be fun enough that you keep playing. They have to be all substance.
I actually became pretty impatient with a lot of easier games. Like, a lot of RPGs are too slow and bland for me, so they can be a bit hard to play these days, particularly if the systems aren't very interesting and there's nothing cool to do other than basically getting bigger numbers and hitting attack over and over again. https://social.076.moe/url/137730
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.
