FINALLY

i propose a new standard for IP addressing on the internet:

IPv8

it will not let you connect to the internet. this is an objective benefit

alright, following the soft launch earlier this week, I am now making a more elaborate post about youhavetoliveyour.life :3 Choose a covid minimizer quip from the drop-down and receive helpful articles and studies that disrupt it. Impress your friends by being correct, or fill your head with concerning knowledge.

It's pretty 0.1-y and I have a growing list of things that still need to be done to it (for example, taking this screenshot made me realize that a horizontal scroll bar shows up when the window is too narrow, and there is no mobile-friendly layout) and a -lot- more entries to add, but it's up and it works

next up, the EU could force phone manufacturers to bring back the 3.5mm jack because (a) all these stupid wireless in-ear headphones become e-waste the moment their battery dies and (b) i really really want my headphone jack back

a lot of people slam GNOME's design philosophy, but I appreciate the fact it generated this large wave of these single-use, well-made applications that most people would normally just use some shady website that may or may not sell this data and retain it until the arrival of christ.

file conversion, media compression, media downloading, text extraction, etc. works offline, looks good, and you don't need to use the terminal (like what most people think about Linux, obviously).

all of which kind of made it hard for me to boot into my Windows partition when I have to, since I got used to just having an app avaliable for these sorts of "mini-tasks" at my disposal.

Gonna trap myself in a cursed amulet for a few weeks so I can get a break.

Hi!
For the past few weeks, I worked on a new #XMPP project: #1999 !
1999 aims to be an XMPP client that is:
1. #free and #opensource
2. cross-platform (mobile and desktop)
3. modern looking, with a uniform look across platforms
4. user-friendly
5. secure

The goal is to have an xmpp client that has the same name, ui and features on every platform, which I believe is what xmpp lacks right now.

I am not a programmer so this is only a UI at the moment!

the pants in question:

**Bloomberg** of all places—you know, a major business publication—is now making a *moral* case for getting off #Twitter.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-10-05/the-moral-case-for-no-longer-engaging-with-elon-musk-s-x#xj4y7vzkg

Twitter/X is now removing headlines from links and Threads/Meta is prohibiting searches of public health terms like Covid and vaccines.

Billionaires are dangerously restricting people’s access to news.

Reminder, because I keep seeing it repeated: Nobody is calling for a boycott on Bandcamp, *especially* not on #BandcampFriday. Boycotting Bandcamp does NOT send a message to the new management, all it does is hurt the musicians who depend on Bandcamp for their livelihood.

ESPECIALLY on Bandcamp Friday, where all of the money goes to the musicians and none of it goes to Bandcamp itself!

Boycotts aren't always the requested or correct course of action when it comes to corporate malfeasance.

i accidentally found a command prompt in the grand theft auto vice city switch base title!
you open it by tapping the screen with 4 fingers at once when undocked, which open a web based command prompt, this isn't available in the updated stub app that can be found on the physical release
