A massive announcement of interstellar proportions 

You know how I start a new blog every Valentine's Day? And how today is Valentine's Day?

That's right. Today is the day my item-by-item exploration of all the things in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri begins. And let me tell you - there are things in there. Come for the nostalgia value, come for the novelty value; stay for the immense amount of words you did not know you wanted to read about science fiction, past and present

Unexpected Consequences, profanity 

DAMMIT Losing my /data partition means I fucking also lost my 2-Factor Auths! So I have to go around all the accounts that used them and disable 2-Factor and re-enable 2-Factor. (Unless, and I REALLY HOPE... unless Titanium Backup saved their data for me.) FUCK!

*blink blink* 

Actually... if I became the dumbest person in the world, without actually losing ANY intelligence, that would probably get us a lot closer to an ideal world.
The first positronic (or similarly-capable) brain would be invented in a week. R. Daneel Olivaw would exist a decade from now, and the human population would be down to 5 billion via voluntary (not even government-sponsored social programs, and definitely no laws about it) reduced procreation.

It's strange... In real life, I'm the computer genius, who knows how to do things my friends, family, and strangers haven't even heard of. But here and on Elekk, I feel like a nitwit compared to people like @squirrel and @noelle.
Even stranger, even though I take pride in my intelligence (despite my severe mental health issues), and calling me "stupid" is a near-unforgivable insult, I'm fine being the relative moron. Maybe I like being around people smarter than me.

Please add the ability to retroactively mark a toot with a Content Warning, and also for admins to do so to others' posts. (But not remove the CW... That has "bad idea" written all over it.)

I love seeing my friends doing things that make them feel happy n stuff

@softgoat
Hey, I got a weird-ish question, I think. Have you ever installed SteamOS? With custom partitioning?
It was a little weird when I did it in I think 2016. (I've since removed it...) Valve doesn't even act like it's possible to not kill Windows when installing their distro. If not for so many games being Windows-only, I'd probably still be running it now, though.

In a few minutes, I'm gonna start playing some Mechwarrior Online, hopefully on-stream at mixer.com/formedras and I hope someone will actually watch.

Please don't mind the bottom and right sides being blank; I haven't figured out what to put there yet.

Because I don't mind if people think I'm ugly, even though I still hope they don't. computerfairi.es/media/dBEQ2VN

"What if only 1% of immigrants are terrorists? That is already a risk too big!"
"Well we can't be certain we really _are_ destroying our planet so we can probably keep doing whatever."

1984: omg what if a government used supercomputers to secretly track every detail of our lives. Must cut services and privatise all government functions (except spies, police and military) to prevent this!

2018: a loose cabal of unaccountable billionaires is now using supercomputers to secretly track every detail of our lives, to make themselves vastly rich and powerful. Well that's okay, as long as it's for *personal profit* it must be making us all better.

@BatElite
Well... I gotta sleep now. Wish I kept better hours.
*hugs and nuzzles* Good night~nya~.
