@PurpCat I've never even heard of the term until the NFT craze and Elon Musk becoming public enemy #1.

I get why techbros are hated, but I don't think it's an excuse to write off some new idea as there might be some useful applications for it. Seriously, I see a lot of people talking about why we should never go to the stars because they only perceive it as a techbro's wet dream.

So apparently, my definition of "techbro" was all wrong. I thought it was referring to right-libertarian-leaning, sometimes rich, tech-nerds who offer "solutions" to the world's problems when they are (at-best) perceived as band-aid solutions. But apparently, it's actually about "toxic masculinity in the industry".

@herag I knew someone who dry-iced bombed a bunch of yellow jacket nests in our local parks so they park services didn't have to eradicate them with toxic chemicals.

@LukeAlmighty Thanks, but I won't be satisfied until I make it look like this.

Attempt #2 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:

I made another New York style. This when turned moderately better then attempt one, but when transferring from the peel to the stone, it got stuck to the peel and I had to manually transfer it, which is why it resulted in this heart shape.

This time I used actual pizza flour, so it tasted a lot less soggy. But the dough still raised more than I expected. In fact it was rising BEFORE I stuck in it the oven because I was preheating the oven so high and for so long, the surrounding area was hot enough to cause the dough to rise. I also used a much better balance of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano, and it tasted much better than the previous attempt as a result.

It still wasn't exactly the way I wanted it. It seems like you really need that high-gluten bread flour which you need to order directly from a farm or ask a local pizza shop to sell a spear bag for you. I don't feel like doing either of those, but it seems like it's the only option. Maybe I can order a bag online somewhere.

Either way, it was a major improvement, but I plan to do better.

@ArdainianRight They're both puppets of the same shadow government, so they are both just as bad.

@PurpCat You should've taken it as an opportunity to shill Jitsi.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Who cares about the legal gray zone? Here in the US, it's illegal to backup DVDs, even for personal use (DMCA makes it illegal to crack DRM for any reason), but people do it anyway.

@beardalaxy
I asked dad to buy me an external Blue ray player for birthday.

I later bought a single disk, only to find, that it is LITERALLY IN A LEGAL GRAY ZONE for me to download the keys needed to decode and play that disk.

What kind of bullshit is that? I WANTED to be a consoomer, and this has to be the dumbest limitation I have ever seen.

@beardalaxy I get those all the time. I never get dreams of going back to college.

The biggest problem with pride (both in the individualist and collectivist sense) is that it can prevent you from realizing your own shortcomings.

@PurpCat @Indigo
>Nintendo famously likes if you use their characters in their games if you're a third party dev and they approve of it.

Which is why I always argued that the Mother 4 team should've gotten official approval from Nintendo/Itoi instead of rebranding it into an original game. Itoi said that he would play a Mother 4 if someone else made it.

@Indigo I'm surprised that there has never been a Mario and Mickey Mouse crossover given that Miyamoto is a huge Disney fan and Nintendo is big enough to make a deal with them, but maybe Disney thinks that Kingdom Hearts is enough when it comes to video game crossovers.

@djsumdog @gabriel You could only download BitChute videos using the Brave browser. It used WebTorrent but only the BitChute server was the seeder.

@gabriel @djsumdog
I don't know what the future holds for Odysee now that LBRY is dead. It is the closest to a viable YouTube alternative, but it still uses a lot of JS from Google (though it's still viewable when disabled), and apparently the CEO claimed that they really don't care about free-speech and they might add stricter content policies once/if they get a sizable user base.

@djsumdog @gabriel Probably should've said "least bad". Of couse, conservative talk show hosts shill it so that's a huge red-flag there, but at least as of now, I can watch their videos via MPV which is why I usually choose the Rumble option when someone uploads to multiple sites.

@gabriel I've heard that Rumble is actually the most privacy respecting video sharing site right now, not including decentralized networks like PeerTube, provided that you either block the third-party JS or watch the videos via MPV.

@Indigo I never played any of the games outside of a demo for one of the winter games on DS back when you can download DS demos through the Wii. I never saw it as a big deal. I was only three years old when the Dreamcast was discontinued and we never owned any Sega consoles, so seeing Mario and Sonic together like this didn't make a big impact for me.

Who even gave a shit about this franchise? Worst crossover ever.
