bring back forums

you aren't supposed to have a single identity online

communities shouldn't demand you let a vc-funded company have your mobile phone number

you don't have to pay $100/yr [or whatever it is] for features that every forum had for years, or if it didn't it's for a reason

ok seriously, how do I get my arch setup in 2025 to look like these stardock skinz from 2000?

anyway, PSA for austrian transfems who didn't change their name in ÖBBs system i guess:

We all know about the Pioneer Plaque and Voyager’s Golden Record but have you seen the ‘Water Words’ on the Europa Clipper. It is a plate made of tantalum and has the waveforms of the sound of the word water in 103 languages engraved on one side.
