Eh, yeah... Feminist should promote a female artist, although you can keep your Picasso, which is piss anyway.

Reality shifting?

TikTok seems to be like a drug that leads many to serious mental health issues.

"XZ Utils cyberattack likely not an isolated incident"

I can attest, as I have been approached before, to rid of my project for continued development, as that was 'in the interest of the user base'.

Also, others have tried to persuade me to sell my chrome extension.

I admit I was not in the best spot, but I also realized it would not have helped others if I had given in. A large 'crypto' exchange was even linking to my repos for 'support', and they caused a shit ton of extra work.

"Account linking allows Sony to ban abusive players, and also gives banned players the right to appeal."

Sony and listening? Never gonna happen! There won't be an appeal option.

@nivrig I have a few vintage Z80s at home (in Europe). I guess I will hold on to them... they must be worth a fortune soon 🤭

One thing I didn't mention is that those "professional" video conversion services that are using this piece of junk are also using it to capture footage from MiniDV and Digital8 camcorders, through composite -- because apparently it's too hard to learn what a FireWire cable is. 🤦‍♂️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NuquTDhjGY

@vwestlife appreciate you cracking it open.

Master Chief was revealed in the Halo TV show?!?? That is like when Fallout 4 introduced a voiced protagonist. It takes away of the immersion and the lore that has been created; it could be anybody, even you!

Note: the Fallout TV series is different, as they do actual character and worldbuilding close to the source material.
