Nostr is the Bitcoiner protocol. It's simple but inflexible and not that censorship resistant (if you don't run your own relay you can lose data). ATP is more like Ethereum, way more complex but you can build actually useful apps with it.

This type of reporting is super counterproductive imo. When people read "the planet's fucked, no way to fix it now" a lot of them either give up and stop caring or become violent extremists. The right way is cautious optimism and busting myths - "here's why public transport doesn't suck" or "we need to build more solar panels" or "nuclear plants aren't dangerous".

You can choose the emulator version and binary images don't compress well so the repack install time is just overhead.

Don't do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn't exist anywhere else.

I made a version that makes the instance name normal weight instead of bold. Think it looks better that way.

Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.

Even in the US there's no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn't take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.

Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can't find anything like that, there's just the modlog.

Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you're willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it's actually more reliable than Debian based distros.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.

These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:

  • Broforce is a platformer with fully destructible levels where you save the world from Satan's terrorist army. It has more explosions than a Michael Bay movie.
  • Hotline Miami and its sequel are tactical top down games about shooting up houses. You die a lot but restarts are automatic so it's no big deal.
  • Katana Zero is like Hotline Miami if it was a platformer. You're a cyber ninja who can slow down time and reflect bullets with his katana. The story is interesting and very emotional.
  • Ghostrunner is Katana Zero but 3D.

Once again, America's most successful export is right wing insanity.
