When I was in college, I found a hand-bound report from the Department of the Treasury, written in 1939, about the financial situation in Nanking during the Japanese occupation. I was writing a report about the Rape of Nanking for a history class, and I stumbled upon it while searching the university library.

I was shocked that it wasn’t in their archives, and even more shocked that they let me check it out.

Shadowrun (the arena shooter) probably would’ve been better received if it were named basically anything else.

I feel like there is a difference between voting for someone and voting against someone.

I don’t like how noted war criminal amd possible lizard person Dick Cheney endorsed Harris, but Cheney has never said, “I like what Harris is going to do”; instead, he tried to frame it as a vote against Trump because…well, it’s Trump.

And of course, right-wingers don’t have any capability for self-reflection, because the proper response to fucking Dick Cheney calling you evil is to look in the mirror and ask yourself some hard questions.

Journeys (the shoe chain) and Hollister Co. both use Linux distros on their point of sale machines. Hollister’s machines are pretty locked down and can basically only run the RPoS software, but a lot of Journeys’ software is browser-based, so they have to be a bit more capable.

Pretty sure they’re both custom distros, though.

I’m thinking someone went nuts with the Photoshop. It’s what Elon Musk thinks he looks like, and I don’t think AI would be able to get that look just the way Elon wants it.

Super famous singer “offers” to be featured on your track

“Sure! I had my lawyer write up a contract; let me send it to your people and we can go from there.”

If they’re cool, they’ll negotiate and sign a contract. “Just trust me, bro!” is never an acceptable answer. Protect yourself; have a contract before collaborating with anyone.

I amar prestar aen.

The world is changed.

Han matho ne nen.

I feel it in the water.

Han mathon ned cae.

I feel it in the earth.

A han noston ned gwilith.

I smell it in the air.

Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Once RIF Is Fun stopped working, my mobile browsing went exclusively to Lemmy. I still go back to Reddit for niche communities (especially for sports and specific games) on PC, but that’s probably not going to last much longer. Once they kill old.reddit, I’ll be gone for good.

I do wish there was a way to filter for language; I like occasionally finding titties while browsing, but I occasionally run into 5-6 consecutive articles in German or Dutch or something.

Man, I just think about the opening for “Would?” by Alice in Chains. People who underappreciate the bass haven’t heard that song.

Have you tried Trepang2? It’s very much a spiritual successor to FEAR, and there’s a free demo for it, too.

Honestly, I don’t know what Jack Dorsey is waiting for. The instant Bluesky leaves its closed beta, basically everyone on Twitter is gonna jump ship, and Twitter’s transformation into Truth Social 2.0 will be complete.

The iron has been hot for a long while. What’s he waiting for?

I just turned on my history, watched the one video I submitted to my own channel, then turned it off again.

That’s apparently enough to bring your dashboard back.
