My views on Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation
So I decided it was definitely time to remove the FSF sticker from my laptop. It was really hard to remove and it left a really gross residue that I'm not sure I'll ever get off. If that isn't a good metaphor for Stallman's influence on the world of free software, I don't know what is.
Hot take about Covid from the WSJ
"capitalism is what's gonna solve this pandemic"
Oh you mean the capitalism that collapsed the moment people had to stay home from work en masse? The one that's still collapsing?
You mean the one that owns the entire production process for medicines and keeps poor countries from making cheap vaccines with the UN and WTO patent protection mechanisms?
The one that harnesses public goods like laboratories and universities and uses them for profit?

Fragile Dreams was a good game, but it was also pretty dark. This week, I'm switching to something a little lighter – the Dreamcast cult classic Napple Tale!
What even is a napple? Heck if I know. Let's find out together, shall we?

That’s very cool.

...okay, having actually gone back, I take this back.
What I got instead was a death scene that was simple and understated, and made all the more tragic and poignant for it... with the extra little twist of the knife being the meta-knowledge that *I could've saved her, but I fucked up so badly that she had to sacrifice herself so I could live.*
Ow. 💔
What an excellent, excellent game.

And, like... I get that that’s definitely not something you’re supposed to know on your first playthrough. It just annoys me that I just ruined my save file forever and found out basically as soon as it was too late, heh.

Like, I’ll probably keep on playing, but, ugh. ><
Why can’t Quote die and leave me to play the rest of the game as Curly Brace? That would be an improvement IMO. :p
(Come to think of it... my kingdom for a mod that swaps the two characters. XD)

I made the mistake of looking at a FAQ for this game and it tempered my enthusiasm for it a fair bit. >< Because I grabbed the “wrong” backpack not realizing I was even making a choice, and not only did I lock myself out of the post-game bonus dungeon but I also doomed one of my favorite characters, and I found out all this... like 10 minutes after I made the “choice” and saved. >_<
How was I warned about not trading in the first weapon, but not this?
Anyway if you're wondering what you've been missing on Twitter, today Twitter started instantly autobanning anyone who said the word "Memphis" and did not figure out what had happened and fix it for like six hours
The entire time people were experimentally tweeting "Wait, do you really get banned if you say 'Memphis'?" and getting banned
