Also I'm noticing artists are privating their Twitter feed because of Elon Musk Bad, not knowing/caring that they're holding their entire content hostage because of the Drama Of The Day (tm).

Then they'll do vid related and wonder why NEETs/similar would rather deal with AI art or third world artists, when finding good artists is harder than the boomer boss finding "good people".

Once a wise man on Discord said there is a such thing as an internet cycle.

Some new service will come along and declare themselves to not be like the other guys, only to become like the other guys and lose all their users. Rinse, wash, and repeat.

Does anyone have any good books on 80s/90s era x86 CPUs, old PC architecture, Turbo Pascal, and similar?

the real reason nintendo dmcas people who draw pokemon NSFW is they don't want you to know the devs wrote stories about humans porking pokemon (this isn't a joke)

@mint@ryona.agency sounds about right for some of that shit (different driver/similar weirdness)

@mint@ryona.agency all I got was "cameras not working after flashing" which happened twice at least.

It's interesting to see the difference between ewaste in the early 2010s and ewaste today.

I had a Fire Phone (fire sale edition) back in the day before I gave it away to someone. People online were passing around guides on how to install Android ROMs on it, or to install Google Play Services if you didn't want to gamble with a custom ROM (since custom roms sometimes had "funny" side effects from experience). People would openly buy orphaned devices back when tablets and phones were still $$$ to mess with them and make them more usable.

The whole culture of "buying an i-opener just to mod it" and "modding an Xbox as a fuck you to MS" was still around. You also didn't need to login to say, some network system to "activate" a device or force firmware updates (iPhone, Xbox One, Oculus Quest 2, increasingly more these days) and Android/similar devices back in the day were usually not locked down.

Then Google and carriers put an end to that and big corporations did too in the name of security. Sure your phone might be vulnerable to shit like Stagefright or Heartbleed, Dirtycow, and many other Linux kernel bugs, or stuck on an old SSL version, but hey at least the bootloader is locked so you won't be running tampered software, right?

What's going to happen to all the Quest 2s if facebook pulls the plug?

@RehnSturm256@shota.house @SpurgAnon@varishangout.net this is why the worst thing to happen to gaming in ages was Sony moving their HQ

@allison@hidamari.apartments @ensix@fedi.halcyon-is.land @penny@mk.noob.quest if you're anti capitalist and not using AGPL V3, you're not doing it right.

Corporations HATE this one weird license that says "you must put the code you use online as well" (LEARN WHY TODAY!).

@ensix@fedi.halcyon-is.land @penny@mk.noob.quest holy shit lmao what kind of arrangement is that

@penny@mk.noob.quest @ensix@fedi.halcyon-is.land this is literally a grade A example of why you hire a lawyer when signing any business deal to explain it all.

@allison@hidamari.apartments @ensix@fedi.halcyon-is.land @penny@mk.noob.quest it seems like a lot of businessmen types tend to take advantage of coders/younger nerds who don't know anything.

@mint@ryona.agency decades in development and nothing to show

@skylar@misskey.yandere.love @Sandstar@nicecrew.digital @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st unironically this mindset is why I can't stand segments of fedi either.

These are the same people who would blow a head gasket over liking anything they didn't years ago, they're literally the same as the Twitter alphabet people but with a different skin. I literally don't want Twitter 2 I just want to post. This is the same reason I never use bsky either, aside from it's rules on content the entire website is an asylum run by the inmates.

@skylar@misskey.yandere.love @Sandstar@nicecrew.digital @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st you just know these "people" want to fight everyone online like they did other school kids when they put on that tapout shirt thinking it's the WWE.

Today it's art, tomorrow it's something else stupid.

I should add, stuff like CAD programs no longer support Linux, period.

Sure there's FreeCAD but that isn't going to get you the job, and part of why FOSS advocates complain about piracy is because the wagie job uses it, and your pirated copy of Adobe/Solidworks/Catia is going to get you a nicer job than kdenlive or FreeCAD.

Let's be honest, many people who pirated Flash and Vegas back in the day in the early YT community went on to have some crazy careers. That guy who cut his teeth on a pirated copy of Vegas is now producing news reports and other crazy shit, flash animators went on to make their own TV shows after the Newgrounds era, and of course even Deltarune referenced a famous keygen song. Keygen songs have tons of views on YT because nobody who was a broke NEET paid for their shit in that era.

But using Linux with kdenlive? Maybe the FSF will hire you...eheheh

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I like the idea of supporting creatives on fedi ngl
