Yeah fam, “fam” is hella lit.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form

X to doubt, but also wouldnt be too surprised.

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

I bet rent is still above the national average.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this looks like a major _de-_enshitification step on the part of Steam.

I’m not missing something big, am I?

Ugh, I want to say old internet things, but I kinda like this place and don’t wanna get banned :,(

Like, you’re not wrong, but even if Steam hadn’t changed in the last 5-10 years, it would probably still be the best digital store front out there.

I wish I’d saved it, but I’ve legit seen tankies argue that we’d be better off if the Confederates had won the American Civil War (the line of thinking was that conditions would have been so bad with slavery continued that a popular/Marxist revolution would have come about in those states by now vs. capitalism continuing).

Zac Efron.

The girl I was crushing on in high school crushed on him really hard as he appeared in High School Musical. I spent wayyyy too much of my youth trying to emulate Zac Efron as a result. Eventually, that whole style just kinda became my whole style. Seems like a good fit.

These numbers are hard to believe. I’m going to need where you derived these numbers from if you’re going to claim such wild numbers as these.

Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

I feel like I’m missing a reference with the changing states borders…

Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.

I’m actually really down with this concept.
