Ahh this is awesome. Funny enough, before I was a web dev, I was a graphic artist. Showing my age as well, my first version of Photoshop was 5 and I learned how to edit on old PowerMacs in high school. In the early 2000s I was on a forum with a similar group of folks. I think I was the only one with formal training, so I’d design forum signatures for everyone, as well as show people how to do their own graphics (as well as where to ahem acquire the software to do so).

I got into IRC and all of those tools late in life, but forums were fun back in the day.

I always wanted to checkout Siggraph but never got the chance.

I used to have a small crew that I would play Left For Dead 1 and 2 on Xbox with. We would all get on mics and get drunk and/or high the whole time. When random people hopped in to play humans vs zombies matches, we would hype them and welcome them. Always tried to be the group that didn’t deter players or talk shit. Had a lot of fun sessions that would go to 3 or 4 AM. I haven’t seen them online in ages.

Came here to say the same! That game cracked me up all the way through.

I use the ElfHosted extension as a fallback when Torrentio has a rough day. I don’t like the way it displays data like seeders, file size, etc, but it works well for getting results in a pinch.

People openly bragging about being exploited has always been hilarious to me. I’ve been pushing back on bullshit employer things since my first job in my teens.

It’s going to be long and arduous. The US has such massive reach and influence that it’s going to take a long time before it topples. After that, we will probably be stuck in some Peter Thiel wet dream where he tells us Skynet was actually the protagonist and the Nazis had some good ideas.

Can’t wait to watch the “blue no matter who” and “I have a fixation on the genitals of trans folks” crowds duke it out again in a rigged election system.

Welcome to your new life! It's nice having such a lightweight OS that isn't constantly trying to send your data to every advertiser on earth. I love the peace of mind. Pop_OS is a good choice too! Even as someone that has been using Linux for years, I still go for the it-just-works-out-of-the-box distros.

It’s absolutely amazing to me the lengths this administration will go to lick the boots of Israel—a country that has been actively carrying out a goddamn genocide since the 1940s. Zionists are the scum of the earth. They rival the Nazis.

I always have to remind myself of how disconnected these people are from our reality.

Any CEO that thinks a user should roll over and accept having 12 separate accounts to stream everything they want, is either monumentally fucking stupid, or just a disingenuous, greedy fuck. I’ll stick to Stremio + RD and they can rot while their stock plunges. I do not care.

And to make it worse, this is happening again.
