Our local con is still in, split vote between others, but I guess at least they're out in a lot of places. Worrying to see Farage actually get a seat this time though.

Alternatively: David Attenborough documentary x Minecraft. "a small slime cube bounces through the swamp, obvious to the watching eyes of its natural enemy, the common frog" "the forest seems peaceful during the day, but as night falls, strange creatures emerge from the darkness"

I don't know how "Digging For Britain x Spider Solitaire" would even work. Would someone dig up the world's oldest playing card set, realise it has 8 suites, and try to recreate the card game they'd be used for?

I saw they removed their "carbon neutral" bit from the bottom of the homepage and suspected as much.

Tildes are now used for "flirty" voice mostly (e.g. ~oh my~), or just to denote wavering tone, at least... which is usually flirty.

And you shouldn't need to be connected to the internet at all to use software INSTALLED on your computer (aside from obvious exceptions like a chat program or a multiplayer game).

I still say they look more like badly rendered background vehicles from a PS1 game.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FIVE YEARS? But yeah it's a cute short and lovingly animated, glad it's still getting well-deserved attention.

Can we highlight the fact the first "example" is just anything pro-trans, which to them probably means anything including a trans, trans-coded, or gender-non-conforming character whatsoever? Probably anything queer whatsoever? Including existing childrens' media most likely.

I love how the first example they give is just the existence of trans people. Like, immediately showing their whole hand there.

This is a really good point, but also don't do that just to get someone else's engagement, interact with people whose stuff you like because it's nice to let people know you like their stuff.

Fair enough. I do not want any of those things. I just want my computer to do the things that I need a computer to do, and not do things I do not want it to do, and I hate that the three big computer companies would rather make garbage generators, spy on us, and try to sell us things we don't need.

I don't want a smart home, I don't even have a smart phone, I miss when things didn't need to be connected to the internet to work, including computers. The only time I want to connect to the internet... is when I want to use the internet!

I'm too tech-unsavvy to even change a hard drive on my own, let alone trying to use Linux, but... yeah.

Me: Damn, I don't want to change to apple but... Apple: Oh boy, those sound like great ideas! We're gunna do that too! Me: Never mind.

I'm so sorry... reminders of loss, especially when others are celebrating, can be heartbreaking. Take care, be kind to yourself, and don't be afraid to seek comfort from those close to you.

I did! My mother explained the meaning of "Little Bo Peep" to me when I was little (the "leaving their tails behind them" part).

I just want to be able to buy games, software, and media that don't need to be always online to use. I miss when Windows came with a bunch of useful stuff as standard. Also solitaire. I want CD/DVD/bluray drives to be standard again. I want a decent digital camera. I MISS LANDLINES AND PHONEBOOTHS!

I mean, I actually like the colours... I tried to explain the various different flags as "protest flags" to my mother recently, comparing them to things like the suffragette ribbons (I didn't realise those in particular had been appropriated by farts at the time) but "war flag" is far more powerful.
