@tante@tldr.nettime.org Yeah, I see it as straight up poison. It hurts the projects which embrace it, the people which use it, the knowledge that goes through it and the work that it syphons. It's a widespread poison that's killing computing in like 8 different ways all at once

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social It's about 15 years too late from their promised schedule, I guess. Also overshadowed by checks notes getting called out on blowing nazi dogwhistles and then doubling the fuck down.

I don't think it's right for any conversation about GOG now to happen without mentioning that they did this and pressed the button that said "I am aware and would like to proceed"

@Gargron Back in my pretentious high schooler days I read Dante's Comedy and, don't know where from, the version I found was one that was like... fully translated as poetry, like in the Italian* original, going as far as trying to replicate the rhyme structure No computer's ever going to pull off anything even remotely that mad

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social I'd be more charitable towards that interpretation were it not for their response where they basically went "yeah, we knew what we were doing. We knew what these represented and decided to follow through with this anyway. But we made sure to not send it to Germany where it might get us into legal trouble" (last part not true) I think they burned every ounce of plausible deniability with that one

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social You can claim some extrapolation on my part with the "legal trouble" side and I'll own to that 100% but, that aside, this: "I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community" This, to me, was very "I'm aware and would like to proceed" https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/comment/opxtour/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1

On the one hand, it's depressing to see Google unwavering descent into depravity [pejorative].

On the other, it does mean I FINALLY went ahead and

sudo pacman -Rcc google-chrome google-chrome-beta google-chrome-dev

So, y'know... silver lining. I don't even really use any of these

Fuck, I just saw a ghost

Me and the Frau had two cats for some 15-ish years but last year this [exhibit 1] orange MFer's kidneys gave out.

Well, fast forward to today, we're having a nice brunch, the other cat is walking around, my eyes following her and as she gets near the kitchen door, I see [exhibit 2]. Fedi, my heart skipped a beat, the Frau saw my pupils dilate in sheer confusion for a fraction of a second

The little door stopper owl [exhibit 3] pulled quite the prank

@sri I get it but I'm cynical enough that in the face of all the capital capture in govts this just doesn't look strange to me, even if terribly depressing. In particular with the US going this mask off every CEO everywhere is salivating to be their absolute most horrific self out in open And as to "betraying existing customers" etc... this is a tried and true strategy. Wall them in the garden and then break everyone's legs. Atlassian just decided they're big enough for phase 2

I'm frequently in awe of the inner workings of the Frau's mind...

"Well, there's also that seafood restaurant we've never been to"

"Yeah, I guess, but I always think they only have stews so I never want to try"

"So you imagined an entire menu for a restaurant we've never been to, the menu has ONE item and it's something other than the photos they hang outside? All right, got it!"

Aaand that's another Sol Cesto character finished. I can cross off The Lizard.

Next is The Warrior and then, finally, the real hero, our brave Peasant.

Both of these are going to be pretty hard to get going, I think. Even the Lizard ended up giving me way more trouble than I expected

@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net has their partnership with @protonprivacy@mastodon.social but for everyone else, I'd caution against engaging. "The privacy company" not only made sure they wouldn't miss out on joining the crypto wave, they are also proudly keen on feeding your data to LLMs (but... Privacy like). They also sounded a bunch of dog whistles with their "election freedom" publicity stunt campaign and... Wasn't their CEO publicly praising trump a while back or something?

As I looked closely (couldn't catch on the photo) I saw that one his legs was leaking so I'm guessing either I or the cat ended up stepping on him a little bit. Was pretty sad. Still dumped him in the grass and didn't go back looking later but I don't think he made it. I'm sorry, my guy, should've secured you last night after all
