🤔

Gonna be Carnaval in Brazil (also, we don’t care about Valentine’s day for whatever reason, our lovers’ day is June 12), so I plan on sleeping

Now with extra radium for extra health!

If your intent is to connect via app, I suppose you’re better off with misskey or one of its forks like iceshrimp. They offer server specific custom reactions and allow crazy code on your posts. I recommend not using them on the web because the pages are HEAVY, like, “did my browser freeze or did it crash?” heavy

Wafrn could also work, it’s more tumblr-like than twitter-like and gets you posts from mastodon/misskey and custom reactions

There was this time that one of the trouble boys from my class got into trouble with some dangerous guys from nearby. I never got the details right, rumor was that it was about stealing someone’s girlfriend, or just flirting with the girl. We were all 16 at the time.

Anyway, this one day, after classes ended and everyone was leaving, I was hanging outside school with my friends when we saw the trouble boy sprinting madly back inside, with a group of 4 following behind - all of them looking like late teenagers. The pursuers stayed outside for ~10 minutes before leaving and it seemed like one of them had a gun, as he wouldn’t take his hand off his hip (this is Brazil, btw, where gun possession is illegal).

Trouble boy skipped school the entire following week, which looked like it was enough to let the dust settle. Of course, rumors went wild, like one saying that he was ambushed and killed, but his younger sister was also at the school and kept coming, so it was easy to know the truth: he got grounded for the week and, to avoid being expelled for absences, got a magical medical “1 week off school” report.

Slavery. Even after banning it pretty much everywhere, people still find ways to treat others as disposable property.

What, you expected gravity to take it uphill?

We need more RL interactions to escape the internet nowadays. Depending on where you live, that can be challenging, as smaller places are less likely to have people aware of how awful the current internet is

So, you’re telling me I can copypaste 100% some of the ai slop books on amazon and resell it as mine? Brb, gonna make a shit site an absolute diarrhea

Fucking magnets heatsinks, why won’t they work!?

They’re writing TypeScript that compiles to JavaScript that runs in a V8 engine written in C++ that’s making system calls to an OS kernel that’s scheduling threads across cores they’ve never thought about, hitting RAM through a memory controller with caching layers they couldn’t diagram, all while npm pulls in 400 packages they’ve never read a line of.

Yeah, I noticed something was off around the time every new app was essentially “the fucking website on a self contained chrome browser”, aka electron. Sure, it was sold off as being a “write once, run everywhere”, but a significant number of said programs and games were still either windows or android exclusive because ha ha fuck you (anyone that’s dealt with RPM MV/MZ knows it).

Some layers of abstraction are incredibly welcome - not having to worry about cycles and RAM addressing, having immediate access to graphics without having to reinvent pixel pushing function; but (imo) everything on top of a browser is just an endless series of “why?”

The company’s deploying AI-powered inference to estimate user ages based on behavioral patterns, account history, and other signals already in its systems. Only when that automated prediction fails or flags uncertainty will users face requests for manual verification through ID uploads or facial scanning.

Oh, so it’s even easier to game it and pretend to be “an adult”. Simply avoid any minecraft and roblox communities to be an instant adult.

Discord didn’t specify exactly what percentage constitutes a “vast majority,” nor did it detail which signals feed into its age prediction models. That lack of transparency could become its own issue as regulators increasingly scrutinize how platforms handle youth safety versus privacy rights.

Big brother is watching you masturbate, for your own good, of course.

For the subset of users who do get flagged for manual verification, Discord says it’s partnering with third-party services that specialize in age verification tech. These vendors typically process ID documents or facial scans without permanently storing biometric data, though implementation details remain vague.

It’s not permanent storage if they delete after safely selling to interested buys!

As lawmakers ramp up age verification requirements globally, expect more platforms to walk this tightrope between compliance and community trust.

I wonder if this is what might actually push more people into “host your own shit” that’s easy to shut down and migrate as needed.

Trust the vibe, bro, if it was wrong it wouldn’t vibe like that bro

Implying that’s not their kink in the first place

The game looks PS1 as all hell and I love it. Kinda like a mix of Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve, I guess?

Search whatever you’re looking for with yandex.com - they don’t block pirate sites. Be sure to have uBlock Origin on your browser, you WILL need it. Direct Download (ddl) sites can often have 3+ redirects before the actual, real download link, so it’s good to save favorites when it’s only 1

For shows, animes and movies, you’re better off finding streaming sites, which you can find above.

Lastly, telegram. Yes, the app. You can find several channels/groups that share stuff. I follow a couple that share IT/Gaming/Animation related courses. You can find series, animes and other stuff, too.

This. I live in Brazil, I torrent often and have never received any letter from my ISP or anyone. Close to 20 years now surfing the p2p waves.

As someone who didn’t have dualshock controllers back when I had the PS1, FPS games always felt awful. Most of the games had like L2/R2 for aiming up/down and L1/R1 for strafing, pretty sure Quake 2 was like that. I recall Medal of Honor had you hold R2 to fine aim with the d-pad

Yes, I alluded to that in the first comment

Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

I found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server

Huh, I didn’t know that, maybe that’s only with the docker image? If not, that’s bad news waiting to happen, I’m afraid :/
