"All these moments will be lost in time, like droplets of a liquifying rubber foot wearily tracing their path down the underside of a 30 year old modem."

Phew! It's been a long time since I toot anything on Mastodo! It makes me happy to remember it was partialy translated into Ido language ^^ makes it feel cozy in a curious way <3 Moar languages, plz!!

I like indie games on the Nintendo Switch more than the first party ones, am I weird?

I just bought my first 2TB HDD. I kinda feel like I should have ordered a 4TB instead even though I'd go broke XD and have no money left but still. Just in case I want to download both ExoDOS and ExoWIN3X

I don't know who needs to hear this but

The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders

The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders

The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders

The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders

Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services

Capitalism is a disease

Replaying Soul Calibur II on PCSX2 (Now that i'ts compatible with RetroAchievements it's very enticing to reply old gems :D) makes me realize how many of the unlockables in the game would be DLC these days. From the characters to the game modes and weapons. It's rather sad if you think about it :/.

I just realized that I had to update my age on my profile and state that I am no longer 29 years old XD

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

Mental health 

I'm starting to realize that my habit of data hoarding it's taking a toll on my mental health and OCD. I'm not as neat as other people that archive, categorize and organize stuff. My computer looks like a landfill and I just keep stuff for the sake of keeping. Lots of times motivated by a fear of losing access to it or disappearing from the Internet. I find it hard to get rid of my files and it makes me terribly sad. I don't have money to buy HDDs. Ughhh :(

@ifixcoinops my kid grew up on Tux Paint and now they do stuff like this. Highly recommended.

Daughter is six, has been using linux since she was 4. She's got my graphics tablet and she's interested in graphics programs. Installed Tux Paint and Krita for her.

In no universe would I install for her a program that she couldn't talk about with her friends at school. Come on.

I just got a copyright claim on my youtube video for Amiga MOD playing in the background for Crystal Cracktro Maintheme 2, claimed by 'CD Baby' on behalf of Mark 'TDK' Knight. If this is genuine then fair enough... But I'm doubting it now after looking up 'CD Baby'...
Just to be clear, I always credit music artists in each and every video I post. Being an artist myself, I strongly believe in doing this as I know how personal and meaningful an artist's work is to them.

Windowsはつまんない、Linuxのほうがカッコイじゃ。消してもOKですか?。

@Ransil Hola! Soy Adelith, bueno, Tea, Tea en verdad es mi nombre, Adelith es un nick ^^. (La que le gusta también dothack :D) Soy más de Mastodon que de Twitter la verdad aunque lo tengo más abandonadete porque una no da a basto :).

I am extremely pleased by the fact Mastodon is translated into Ido (Although not completely) and I can set it up with ease :D. It's also translated into and eventhough I have years and years of experience with and almost none with Ido, I choose to use Mastodon in Ido for some reason. I want Mastodon translated into more auxlangs!

Going tomorrow to eat SUSHI! with my friend :D

Just found out that next March is when Geocities Japan is shutting down, so if you have a favorite Japanese Geocities site go save it in the Wayback Machine: web.archive.org/
