I'm thinking now would be a good time to implement my idea for a FOSS tabletop sim. Not of any particular game, but just an Elixir server that manages objects on a table that any client can move. (Like Tabletop Simulator, but free and without awkward 3D objects.)

Thanks, I hate it.

Ugh, April Fool's was yesterday over on the tomorrow side of the timezones. Piss off.

My cat has volunteered himself as food during this lockdown.

I feel more often than not that this platform is really only good for shitposting.

Someone just followed me on Bandcamp. wth?

Are there any *browseable* distributed-storage protocols/networks? (Besides Bittorrent tracker sites.)

@tastytentacles Has anyone told you that your profile pic looks like the icon for an Etherium knockoff cryptocurrency?

Just got my copy of the NieR:Automata OST yesterday, and I can now say with certainty that it is one of my all time favourite videogame soundtracks.

I'd like to also point out that one of the activists the author applauds, Aral Balkan, has been a thin-skinned ass here on the fediverse, either not responding to good faith questions, or responding with snark instead of engaging, and then blocks anyone who disagrees with him. Sound familiar?

Point is, our problem with big tech is a global problem, not an American problem, and using language that does not translate well across cultures isn't helping. (And using "bro" as an insult just makes you sound like a petty jackass, anyway. Come up with some more creative jabs.)

With all that said, here's an article that uses the word that I hate but makes some good points.

I really, *really* hate the word "techbro". I get it: they're hot shots in the technology sector who behave like college fraternity "brothers". Here's something to consider: that fratboy culture does not have a monopoly on the slang word "bro", nor is it tied inextricably to toxic masculinity. In New Zealand, it is used as a term of affection among Māori and pacifika people, so of you used "bro" derogatorily here, you'd come across as a bit racist. [cont'd]
