    To be fair i do care quite a bit about that. Phones just make bad computers to me. Small screen and half is used by a keyboard.

    They seem designed to frustrate me so “it just works (most times)” is the only way i can stomach owning one.

    I have a dream where apple is forced to make ios fully open source and where screen/input devices can freely stream any system/OS from a dedicated server.

    Iphones are so “cleverly” dumb it makes them usable.



  • Oh no worries, i am technical and autistic enough to setup systems that will serve my actual needs, regardless of economic/industry expectations.

    Lutrius is great but i prefer Heroic game launcher, it can do the same but does also provides convenient acces to gog, epic and amazon licenses. I am only storing backup copies of games if i actually find it worth it to keep them, and i acquired a lot of mediocre titles over the years.

    I also do still do use steam with little hate towards it there own implementation of proton is hard to beat in its reliance. I have yet to find a single game within my steam library that fails to work properly on arch.

    Doesn’t stop me from working on my own alternative local game server parallel to it, Mhehehehe

    Regardless i still feel like i should just be able to legally download some standalone offline installer from a website for later use. Especially for older games that used to have physical copies. whether or not my system can run that installer as it is, is morally irrelevant.



  • Yes.

    What if i want to play the original portal game on a pc that cannot have internet? Steam does not allow me to download a straight installer, its a license with a long list of acceptable and non acceptable uses.

    Don’t get me wrong i love valve and what they have done for gaming as a concept, as a linux i would not Be able to game as i do if it was not for proton.

    But if i purchase a game i demand to own my copy.

    I actually have a database where i keep pirate and cracked copies of games i own legit licenses because i refuse to have my rights limited simply because of the possibility of a victimless crime where checks note some big corp gets slightly less profit.

    All games should be available standalone.

    And while, am speaking my software opinions

    If i buy a game license on one system it should cover that game all other platforms and systems. No more buying the same game twice just to play on different hardware. (This makes less sense if its a dedicated copy and not a license though)

    All software from hardware that is no longer receiving support must be open sourced, i am looking at you near mint first gen ipad mini. I die before you end on a landfill in such good state.




  • Autist here.

    We have a long history opposing societal, including gender, norms. And have deep connections with the early lgbt movements. Many people on the spectrum identify as queer.

    Its not a secret that Elon believes he is on the spectrum, and we know he has at least one queer child. We also know that people who are stuck in the closest often channel this through self hate and hate of others who express.

    Now that is interesting. “High T Males” on the other hands are a total joke.

    I can absolutely hear the bottom text as if it was a lyric from wish you were here.

    Got any rare favorites?

    I find myself quite drawn to the alternate tracks from around the time of ummagama these days. Some versions of the narrow way part III being a particular favorite.

    There is also a live album post dark side where they play songs that appear to be proto-animals but have the music of wish you were here.

    A great addition to any collection i dont think its on Spotify.

    Corporate memphis does incorporate a sort of identity vagueness.

    Almost all human features, body, skincolor are in a uncanny valley. Non-personal enough to be general yet similar enough to be relatable to pretty much any theoretical demographic.

    In reality it falls flat. Many people (non partisan) dislike it because of how artificial and shallow it feels.

    What it is definitely not is a deep plot to change the social perception of checks note people with non idealistic body features.

    Google has no economic incentive to improve your opinion of disabled people who are equally part of this group you appear to find non acceptable to exist in the workforce.
