@ben I'm genuinely upset at this, some techbros who didn't talk to anyone adding a genital slider to a game. Like that's the trans the experience, your genitals; game characters usually don't have genitals at all but trans right? Oh no, there's no non-binary options or anything, and your voice is tied to your pronouns so no husky voiced women or effeminate men. Can't have a flat chest as a woman either. But yeah, genitals.

And yet, it still gets worse. There's no trans people in the story at all, and there's just one queer coded character. A sick unsavory doctor, who does unsavory things to people, who gives people unsavory feelings. While they sexualize our bodies with this one single deranged poster that is simply plastered everywhere!

And then everything else, a black and white political system where bad guys are just deranged maniacs to be slaughtered at will. Where execs promised there would never be crunch time; after a year of crunch time had passed; preceding three years of crunch time. Where you have no choice but to work for cops to take down bounties. How is this cyberpunk? How is this Cyberpunk?

Why do I like minimalist software?

It clears up space for the fucking web browsers

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)
