I’ll only want to keep a computer around to play some games, but I really wouldn’t mind ditching that for boardgames with actual people.

To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It’s at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under “very rare circumstances”, according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.

As for the Windows thing, that’s nutty bullshit

Related Real Life Lore video from 3y ago but still relevant, that explains the “deadline” of around 2030 for mainland China to attempt an invasion (around 21:00 on video) and the escalation happening then - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6sCsOdqXQw

Invest on Apple first, their profit curve and stock price gets absurdly higher after 2010

Then trump became a parody of Tannen. Go figure

Nothing, no one would listen to me and I doubt I could get away with killing billionaires or destroying their property

That was roughly a month before he caved

Blame the french, use spanish or portuguese: burguesia

I don’t consider myself a gooner or coomer or whatever, but there are days where I really feel like a fucking waste of a person due to how much I beat it. Sometimes I’m doing something else, but if I’m not focused, sometimes horny will just happen and that gets focus quite easily.

I know the best way for me to get rid of that is to block sites via hosts file, as it’s a slight annoyance to edit it in Windows (gotta open notepad as admin, then make it open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts), which is already enough to make me give up and do something else. I have added a bunch, but there are many that aren’t blocked and it’s so damn easy to find them…

My silver lining is that I don’t use the phone for porn, so I only need to step away from my computer to avoid porn altogether, but the PC is my main addiction that I’m not even trying to break.

I remember Robocop Rogue City launching with a high price (nothing crazy like that) but going on sale like 1 or 2 months later for 90% off

tbf, the PC version of console games of the time ran like utter shit on computers with less than 2GB RAM and graphics cards worse than a Geforce 9800. A lot of people were still on WinXP, which was bloated compared to WinME-2000, but by 2006 it was fine.

I don’t see any cooling, it’s going to catch fire once you put the pedal to the metal

I prefer never needing to plan anything

Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!

NOooooooooooo!!! We need the gubmint to impose stupid laws to protect teh children!!!

Off the top of my head, I can immediately think of “civitt” as a better alternative - civilians instead of corpo overlords. Personitt. Hell, even “netizen” or some variation of that would be better. Zennet?

So, if I’m on programming.dev and you’re the owner/manager of lemmy.world, I can post on lemmy.world but you can’t block me at all, is that right?

No sane person wants to run anything on the internet where they can’t delete or block comments/users/other instances

it can scale infinitely because there are no historical ledger like a blockchain or hub, it’s like bittorrent, if a community no longer has any seeds, it stops existing.

Sounds like freenet, though the obvious downside of freenet is that you have to have it running as a program before you access its sites.

I guess they missed the memo on how their monarchs aren’t actually divine, or maybe they really, really, REALLY want to keep that tradition alive. Could be both, too, or other reasons.

Live action Porco Rosso is looking rather different
