I don't think I've played any of the Ys games. Going to work on that today.

Does this whole systemd age verification thing actually matter, or is it just another internet hysteria moment? The real question for me is, will I be able to type in 1/1/1984 like every dumb, Orwellian age thing, or will it have more teeth than that?

2026, my dad, calling me, tweaking out about setting up email on his phone (I don't understand how he hasn't done this) 2046, me, calling my son, tweaking out that I have to have a brainchip installed to order a pizza (he doesn't understand why I don't have a brainchip already)

Boiling the ocean so that AI can explain to me plot details from The Brady Bunch.

I've had this nsec since 2022, and have been quite reckless with it. Getting a clean check today is a lot like someone spending their 20's playing the field, finding themselves, or straight up hooking, going to the doctors at 40, and getting clean bill of health, even negative for HPV.

The 4,000 DAU number is disappointing because it does seem to be a decline, but moreso, it's disappointing in that it really shows that most "freedom tech" people out there are LARPing. At the end of the day, they want their blue check and they want their reach above all else. I'm not saying anyone should give up Twitter entirely (I'm not), but I would expect the folks screeching about freedom all the time to at least start building a presence somewhere free, even out of precaution. I remember all the Twitter purges in 2018, and then during covid. It'll happen again. Plus, crossposting isn't exactly rocket science.

I am fining the UK's Office of Communications (Ofcom) a sum of $50,000 for the crime of being really fucking uppity, payable in cash, check, bitcoin, or bullion. Unfortunately, just as their silly laws have NO EFFECT on me as a US citizen, my laws have no effect on them sadly.

Gamer oppression is a real thing, we have to protect gamers at all cost... and yet, the last group of people that I want to hear about AI from are gamers, especially the unhinged ones on Bluesky. You had nothing, and now you have something, shut up and be happy.

Ah yes, the Strait of Hormuz, that sounds like Israel's problem.

Someone addressed my complaints about GIMP, I feel heard.
