Debian 12 let me turn an ailing Gateway Centrino laptop into a media center + game station. It’s technically dual core but it’s 32-bit and really, really goddamn slow. Still, it’s more than fast enough to run everything from the 4th console generation and before, and play a bunch of stuff I snagged with yt-dlp… as long as I made sure it was h264 and 480p or lower. Yeesh.

Still more than enough to make the break room at work amazing.

What’s the Venn Diagram of “childhood pyromaniacs” and “Linux users” look like?

Unfortunately, Sony seems to be really hostile towards allowing most any video player apps on the PS5. They specifically went out of their way to remove DLNA support, and they only just allowed a DLNA-enabled video player on the store 7 months ago… and it’s subscription based.

Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.

Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.

Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.

When you’ve lost the porn it’s game over man.

Let’s not forget the embedded racism in the original quote from Terry: “CIA n*ggers glow in the dark.”

Technically they aren’t lying: their subjective experience is much better when they don’t have to deal with customers.

I just remember when the ADL went after David Icke and the guy talking about 12-foot-tall Lizardmen seemed to have the more rational point.

Especially true with deep dish/pan crust pizzas.

My wife rarely eats the crust on her pizza, which is fine by me since I’m happy to turn those pizza bones into free breadsticks.

What about that but as a sausage?

I’ll settle for the old Rust approach, where you could still play on (or host your own) servers that didn’t have anti-cheat enabled.

I’m not sure how the numbers were doled out, but in 2000 it was a big deal having a sub-9-digit ICQ number.

86336930 checking in. Pretty sure I remember the password, but it’s not like I can check now.

You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.

Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client…

Would you look at that, I’m sophisticated now.

Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!
