You should own a PC with a keyboard, a mouse, a GPU, and maybe a pen if you're an artist.
AI pricing consumers out of computing is not just annoying but disgusting. These are devices not just for hobbies and luxury, but for creation and communication in a global age. Something many politicians […]

Can we finally drop the "think of the children" bullshit?
The kids are growing up in increasingly hostile world and they are pissed. Putting up guard rails does nothing to help them. Just fucking listen to them! They will tell you what they need!

Fuck Discord.
Cancel your Nitro. I don't give a shit who you are. This is not a difficult protest. Literally just DON'T give Discord money every month. Fuck the emojis. Fuck the banners. Fuck everything Discord does, and fuck the air they waste.

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone

Looks like Discord replacement is coming down to @stoat.chat or @fluxer.app
Personally leaning Fluxer since it can be self hosted as well, and also Stoat made their desktop app Material You which I hate and it actively makes me not want to touch it. Feature wise Stoat seems ok though.

I'm convinced there is not a single usable alternative to #Discord
At all.
Every. Single. One. Sucks. All of them.
#StoatChat - no calls, broken desktop app
#Fluxer - no mobile app
#Matrix - OH GOD WHERE DO I START?!

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

@matrix.org will NEVER grow as it stands
The entire system is fudementally flawed and has too much friction to use, lacks basic tools like moderation, and takes an act of congress to change ANYTHING in the spec
Fix the issues, or stop wondering why everyone keeps using other apps

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
![“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fih2jbqfmjrza7yqgbtn5phi/bafkreigs7vvyitkf77yiu4ytu3cghqyojcmfqwajzktyymakgftxmjq434@jpeg)

Moderation on #Matrix @matrix.org still sucks. I can't kick someone once and they be removed from all subspaces and rooms, you have to do EACH SPACE ONE BY ONE
That is such an incredibly stupid way to do that, why would I have to kick someone MULTIPLE TIMES to remove them?!?!
