Our fight, it is no exaggeration to say, is the civilized world’s fight. It is a fight for reason and comity in the affairs of nations, against an administration whose worldview, and behaviour, is increasingly that of an aggressive dictatorship, in all its crudeness and its thuggery.

Mr. Trump, as the Prime Minister has said, aims to “break us,” a phrase with historic echoes. He has to now, or others will follow our lead. If he succeeds, then the world will be governed by nothing but force in the end, in trade as in other matters. But if we prevail, then “broad and sunlit uplands” must surely await.

A screenshot of a Tumblr post from a user named demilypyro. The text of the post reads: “y’know some years ago I saw a conservative post something like ‘transitioning is worshipping yourself when you should be worshipping god’ and I was like hell yeah. hell yeah that’s awesome. I’m turning myself into someone worthy of worship and spiting god at the same time. this rules”.

I have looked for SO long, I’ve tried every icon pack on f-droid, I’ve looked through the play store multiple times (either they were ugly or collected all of my precious data 🥹), I’ve even tried to make my own icon pack with renkin but it barely works (I’m not interested in fixing it) SO I just need some icon packs to look through

also I’m pretty picky, and I want either funny/kinda cursed or something that isn’t flat design and monochrome

“I came across this at a very sad point in my life, it was on a hard drive on a vintage computer I bought off Amazon,” Marshall explains on the expansion’s GitHub page. “Literally this essentially saved my life, I was going through a divorce and just happen[ing] to come across something like this was insane.”

After a year of struggling and losing my job to AI, my game finally made it to 4000 wishlists! This is how it feels:

I might make a future post about how much I struggled to get my game out there and the non-game dev stuff that slowed me down (like losing my job because our company decided to dismiss 50-60% of its work force).

My promise to the players: no vibe coding, no AI art, no AI scripts, no AI music, no AI voices.

My game is called The Milgram Experiment

My Firewall was not putting out last night. So I could not get any pihole action.

So last night my firewall decided to say F you Reann and stopped working for no apparent reason. I called my ISP to see if it was anything on their end but it was a big nope. It was rather late at night and I do not have computers with monitors at my place so I thought I was SOL. I was frustrated that I could not do anything because I had the bright idea of deleting one of my two static IPs out of the router and than reboot it. I thought to calm my frustrations I would play some games on my ipad, and holly poop am I ever not used to all the ads in mobile games. Luckily my youtube ad blocking does not require anything else on my LAN so I put on some videos and went to bed. In the morning I remembered I had a ethernet to USB adapter and a USB A to c adapter so I would be able to fix it that way. Don’t know how many times I needed to fix the firewall because I broke the internet trying to fix my boo boos and a few times the firewall just said F you Reann I am not putting out. But it is now fixed and I can enjoy my moble games and web browsing mostly ad free!

So I had no pihole action on my LAN.

Like seriously how do people hand how many ads are shoved at you when you are using your devices?

I was on DuckDuckGo this morning trying to fix things and wow the ads, really made me miss searXNG.

Luckily I do not get spam, I spin up a new address for everything so I did not get those ads at least.

The Norwegian Consumer Council is an independent, governmentally funded organisation that advocates for consumer’s rights. It should be easy for consumers to make sustainable choices every day. Consumers have the right to be protected against exploitation – both financially and digitally.
