Child spends $16K on Mom's iPad on micro-transactions in predatory games.

Apple refuses to refund the payments.

HN commenters blame the mother.

Presumably so that they don't have to reconsider their own predatory business tactics.

Watch "The CIA is a terrorist organization", a video which is being censored and suppressed by YouTube and which caused the producer to be deliberately intimidated by the Department of Homeland Security for their "anti-american" sentiments

If you complained about the recent takedowns of youtube-dl or widevine-l3-decryptor, I would recommend you join me in celebrating International Day Against DRM!

Because this isn't anything new, it's only faced a little resurgence over the past month. Whether we like it or not, international law humors their arguments.

How about checking out some of my recommendations? https://adrian.geek.nz/movies
How about showing we don't need DRM or capitalists to fund & promote our entertainment?

Astrobotany is a simple text-based(also (very)simple graphics) gardening game that takes place in geminispace.
It has about 100 players.

You plant seeds and tend them and there's a message board. That's it!

It is _very_ slow-paced and is probably more social than anything else.

You will need a gemini browser(Castor, AV-98, Geminaut, etc) to play it. Your browser must support certificates.

Most of the people playing have a Mastodon/Pleroma presence.

So 18% of the population of India organised the largest general strike in history. A quarter of a billion people. 3.2% of all living humans on planet Earth. And the English speaking world is mostly just... not paying attention?

Someone I know wants to try out Mastodon, but he doesn't know English. Is there:

A) A way to look for users speaking a particular language?

B) A Polish instance that's well moderated (no bigotry allowed on there)?

Please boost, even if you don't know 😓

My new reply to republicans

anyone knows about a libre scripting tool for android? That would be neat (like ankulua but FLOSS)

I reviewed my comments to find out what might have caused it and my best guess is it's either because (A) I said that it's lazy to force git forge maintainers to add go-specific code rather than develop language-independent standards, or (B) I pointed out that git hosting is decentralized and adding "sourcehut support" by hardcoding git.sr.ht is incorrect, and applies to other hosts like gitlab, gitea, github enterprise, cgit, etc.

Notably among my participation in that repository is donating CPU time on my $1,000 RISC-V board to help with the RISC-V port.

In conclusion, 🖕. If you want to participate in golang/go be sure not to point out that any of their engineers are working on solutions which are wrong when the right solution is much harder.
