I hope Mamdani and friends oppose this piece of shit. It exists to erase sexuality that doesn’t belong to the straight white dude, alongside filling the pockets of the wealthy by watching our every move.

At this rate, we will have duels to the death between the Blues and Reds.

I hope that Valve is doing this in the backstage. If they teamed up with the EU, Canada, Brazil, and Japan, they could establish a pretty large global network for neutral transactions. Just a 1% fee, and extend the service to all platforms willing to use it, such as DLSite or OnlyFans. With that sort of backing, Valve can penetrate the American market. Especially if the transaction fees are waived for the first year after launching, with a pre-order phase for getting merchants ready for adding SteamPay to their transaction options.

Iranian D-Day is going to be…interesting.

I think that ICE will be sent information about children, and then they will ship the good looking kids to the highest bidder.

As a citizen of that nation, “fuck if I know” about covers it. There is a large chunk of Americana that I just don’t understand nor have good feels about. The nation since my childhood, has felt dilapidated and disappointing.

I want copyright to go extinct. It has no place in a proper civilization.

I prefer Valve. 800lb gorilla, main driver of Proton, not likely to suddenly vanish or change leadership, brand recognition means many people will develop extensive documentation and implementation specifically for SteamOS. I want to install an OS once, and never be forced to change it on that machine.

I am waiting for SteamOS Desktop. I want to ditch Windows, but also want a company dedicated to gaming to provide a distro. Odds are, it will be user-friendly and standardized enough for power-casuals to allow me to do what I want, without worrying about obscure Linux technical stuff.

I am praying for Satan to collect his due. Preferably by tomorrow morning, in the guise of cheese burgers.

That feeling was a stiffy, at the thought of hurting people.

These people have no business wielding a gun, let alone authority.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Discord’s face identification is used to find good looking kids, and then messages ICE to arrange shipment to an island.

Because I want a 800lb gorilla to perpetually support my gaming distro, working Nvidia drivers, have enough freedom to use mods and whatnot, documentation suitable for people who aren’t terminal-brained, and so forth. Valve is the kind of company that can tick these boxes, simply through sheer inertia.

I tried Mint back in early 2025. It wasn’t quite right for my purposes, so I wanted to wait for something friendlier. Just because I can do stuff if I put in elbow grease, doesn’t mean that I want to be an expert at fiddling with penguins.

Hopefully, SteamOS Desktop will be in the wild and shaked off any teething issues. I want to switch to an OS that is suitable for a power-casual. If it looks like a 2nd American Civil War or WW3 is on, I might switch early to Cachy.

I, and many others, will be born on 1/1/2000 at 0:00 'clock.

The adults are not alright.

I would prefer the burgers to be nice again. The was a time, long ago, when they had that char-broiled texture and flavor.

I think that the belief of pen and paper being “natural”, is a weird idea. We have less than 7,000 years of history with pen and paper, closer to 50,000 if we include cave paintings. Far as evolution is concerned, that is a pretty darn short. Our understanding of writing - and computers - arises from an incidental application of our intelligence, not the other way around.

If there is universal healthcare, caretakers for the elderly and the orphaned should be available. That means a young kid can ask for a caretaker and receive that aid. Kinda like an reverse adoption, where the kid chooses the parent, rather than the other way around.

The government can send a representative to households or schools with a kid under 10 years of age, with the job of asking whether they want to stay. Do this once a year, giving the kid a tablet through which they can securely send a simple survey without showing their parent what they put on it. Depending on what the kid wants, they stay with their family or can tell the state that they are unhappy with where they are.

It wouldn’t be perfect, but at least it gives pathways out of bad situations.
