I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

I finished rewatching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" together with a group of friends. So grateful for the HD Remaster, this show deserved the effort.

Still have my original Game Boy and Super Mario Land cartridge. Takes about 30 mimutes to play through and is a perfect lunch break mind reset.

The bot doch-alle-menner.bsky.social I complained about renamed itself to anti-endo-cis-men.bsky.social with only an "apology" posted that explicitly excluded "Endo CIS Men" and today the account is deactivated, not suspended! In ~2 weeks with many reports @bsky.app did not manage to ban a hate-bot.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Good to see you here =) Here, photos of some of my Commodores, including one of my MEGA65, to make it cosy for you!

I hope so. The first report is about a week old and afaik there is no way to see if a report was worked on.

I really want to see bsky as the more fair and inclusive space, but well, guess at the end of the month I will see if it's only a different flavour of hate that is acceptable here.

And to my understanding such kinds of bots violate @bsky.app's Community Guidelines and should not be welcome here, specifically sections 2.B and 2.C.

I am rather disappointed with @bsky.app. In my Discover feed I get people hating on men, who follow the bot doch-alle-menner.bsky.social whose only purpose is to post CIS Men hating replies, including posts that call for CIS Men to get punched in the face. Moderation is not reacting to reports.

Yeah, just like Vinyl, tape has its "flavoring" and is imperfect, but it was mobile and you could make your own mix for on the go. The inability to easily trackskip encouraged to just listen.

I had Minidisc for a while, but Sony had to make it bothersome with DRM. I wonder what DAT-Tapes were like.

Vinyl was never a good format when it comes to reproducing a recording faithfully.

Still, people can prefer the warm sound as well as the physical experience.

Everything else is placebo (like all audiophoolery), ignorance of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem and the reality of human hearing.

That seems to be "Rendezvous in the Park" by Paul-Albert Laurens (1870 - 1934).

MEGA65 - 21st century realization of the C65: Complete 8-bit computer running around 40x faster than a C64 while being highly compatible. C65 design, mechanical keyboard, HD output, dual SD cards support, Ethernet, extended memory and more features increase the fun without spoiling the 8-bit feel.

Otherwise, easy choice. Lightwave was originally an Amiga program, CGI for Babylon 5, X-Files and others was done on Amigas and they were used for a long time in TV production. Scrolling text, overlays etc. See Videotoaster.

You did nothing wrong. You cared and thus you reached out and of course it hurts. Pain is just another part of life.

Everything else will come naturally as you age. It will happen again and every time it gets a little easier, because you learn.

The real challenge is to never stop caring for good.

"That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write ‘Fuck you’ right under your nose." - The Catcher in the Rye

Can't evade it. [2/2]

Well, Green, if you allow me some advice?

People will think whatever, you can't control that. Just aim to be a good person and do what makes you happy.

If there are people giving you trouble, because they react to their own prejudice instead of reality, then cut them out of your life. [1/2]

Why would anybody be against it? I am curious what reasons you have on mind.
