How does that work? Almost all old Windows games can be played on Linux with Wine or Dosbox?

A new way to make money! Much easier than waiting for someone to need an ambulance!

Why are his necktie and fingers covered in spangles? Is that slang for shiny expensive bits?

Ah I see ;) I also have two loves, but my gaming pc is too heavy to drag to bed...

I know! Horrible isn't it? I just can't help it, thinking about stuff is actually fun for me... so embarrassing!

One reason why that is probably not true is because there are less positrons but if it were true they should number the same as electrons, right?

But if electrons are moving along the same "time direction" as we are and positrons are moving in the opposite "direction" then wouldn't we expect there to be less protons? As we can't measure the protons that already "passed" us? And we would measure more electrons as a some/many/all of the existing electrons are traveling alongside us?

No! I'd rather be 20 years ago!

So you could just use Email in these archaic programs called Thunderbird etc. If you really wanted to use gmail. You know, without adds, without the need for an ad blocker, without AI recommendations and at your leisure.

But hey, you'd have to install something on your computer for that.... how horrible.

And who uses computers for work anyway, you can just write your essay on a tablet. (but there are also email apps on those)

It's a shittier way to work but hey it's easier.

You may achieve biologic immortality, but you will still age mentally, get jaded and bored. Unless someone also invents being mind wiped after so many centuries. But then you might as well just die normally again right? What is the difference between a person who has no memory of their past and a new person.

That's the cheap chinese knockoff, Neckdobalds.

Every 20 year old is going to be a 90 year old someday (if they are lucky). Complaining about age is unnecessary, because all those young people you see running around and envy...

You can be content in knowing they'll pine after youth the same way in a few decades. You can feel smug in knowing that they too will despair in a midlife crisis and look in horror upon the wrinkles in the mirror. That they too will feel the fathomless sadness of knowing that all the things they dreamed about and never achieved will weigh them down deep into murky depth.

That they too will live in the future as old people and not get to fully enjoy its marvels.

You may rejoice, for you have already climbed that mountain. You stand on its peak or near enough, and soon you will jump off into everlasting oblivion...

 

I think it would be a great way to give money to the hosters and get something that actually helps the community. Like having the cake and eating it too.

You donate a certain amount and get a sticker or something you can stick to threads like gilding in reddit.

But instead of giving money to an evil corporation you`d give it to the people that actually enable us to have the fediverse.

The corporate web may be dying/reinventing itself. Everyone talks about FOSS and having a user driven experience.

But one thing we don't have is a true FOSS web, a protocol like HTTP that only allows FOSS websites to be hosted and bars any corporate interest from hosting for profit.

Would something like that be possible? A "dark web" but not for illicit schemes but for free and open hosted content?

You go to https://website for your comporate fix and to foss:// for none "open source" content. (Stuff like fediverse, self hosted websites etc.)

You'd have to have a governing body, something like the Free Software Foundation that ensures everyone hosting on the foss-web follows the open source guidelines and goes after violators.

 

Thought about a meme, made this pic. Didn't work out. Someone got one that could fit?
