The plan? Enshittification.

Wait until he discovers the Fediverse…

Richard Stallman style!

Nope, I have been using Notesnook for nearly three years for notes.

Democrats need new blood and a reboot. They are idiots if they think being successful means meeting Trump and Republicans at the middle.

Finished the main story of Enderal. Impressive for a total conversion Skyrim mod, I wish there were more like this! Feels like I may touch this game again after five years or so.

This reminds me of a straight pride event titled “Hetero Pride” that was organized in Finland way back in 2013. One of the organizers was a deputy regional councillor and Finns Party member. He claimed how society and the media over-emphasized homosexuality, calling it “homozation”. He also claimed how it was hard to defend the traditional family model without being labelled homophobic and racist.

The event was held near the Parliament House in Helsinki. There were whole a lot more counter-protesters and some came to the event mainly because it was more like “popcorn pride”. One of the speakers at the event literally said in his speech how “we don’t have anything against homosexuals, but…” and another said something about how “the Bible states that marriage is only between a man and a woman”. One speaker was later asked about “what privileges do gays have these days”, and he just replied “I have to be honest, I can’t say anything about that”.

“The tiger can’t change its stripes.” The organizer mentioned later posed in a picture with five other men who made a Nazi salute – one of them was Seppo Lehto, an infamous Neo-Nazi. He also made a Nazi salute himself in another picture, this time wearing a Hitler mask. When called out, he said “I’m not in that picture. I wasn’t there. I don’t know where these kinds of clips came from.” He later admitted being in the picture, claiming how he hadn’t made a Nazi salute: “It’s just a normal salute with the left hand. The official Nazi salute is with the right hand at a 45 degree angle.”

The explanation wasn’t enough for the Finns Party, and as a consequence he was fired from the party’s regional council because of homophobia. Later he also resigned from the party.

Why there are no movies about sperm bank robberies?

Takagi, “mies joka toi manzain Suomeen”.

2020 never ended. There is no “normalcy” to return to.

Tietysti tämä yhteisö on tarkoitettu ylipäänsä suomenkieliselle keskustelulle, mutta kai sitten tuota linkattua videota olisi hyvä alustaa jotenkin. Ja sitten on muista yhteisöistä vaikka [email protected].

This time I have only been playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate on my Switch. I feel like there is always a lot to learn in that game.

Se on satiirisivusto.

Dang it! Lemm.ee was formed in summer 2023 alongside the other instances that became the Lemmyverse’s biggest, sad to see it go. Thank you for everything!

Toy Story 3.

Randy Pitchford being a walking PR problem and a condescending prick towards gamers isn’t really helping the situation. He alone doesn’t want me to play any of the games in the series.

Oli kyllä osastoa “en tiedä pitäisikö itkeä vai nauraa”. Tekijä oli mm. ateistinen eksistentialisti, suunnitellut tekoaan puoli vuotta ChatGPT:n avulla, halusi saada jännitystä elämään ja päästä vankilaan 2-4 vuodeksi. Kaikenlaisia idiootteja maailmassa sikiää. Ennen kouluampujatkin kirjoittivat manifestinsa ihan itse.

I don’t remember that concept being talked about in the book.

That QAnon book is really great, I read it a few months ago. The book gives more variety to how QAnon thought destroys families in how the backgrounds are different and not all families have a happy ending where the QAnon-infected family member suddenly becomes a totally normal and grounded person. It also gives good insight on how cults like QAnon attract people who have gotten themselves into a personal crisis and who may get rattled by other significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

I just read ‘‘The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism’’ by David Golumbia. The book analyzes really well the ideological roots and assumptions that are baked in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. It also debunks many of the arguments crypto-enthusiasts make. Even though I have invested in various cryptocurrencies, I find the crypto community really icky because of its general right-wing libertarian sentiment. I don’t view crypto as money, more like gambling with a volatile asset.

What else? Got a new SSD for my laptop server and restored my backups into it. A little bit of tinkering and now I am again syncing my files with Nextcloud.
