There isn’t anything particularly wrong with copying though. And copying isn’t stealing.

The idea here, is that it is not a huge inconvenience for them to push just a little bit to become Free Software.

I would agree that for a lot of people Denis Villeneuve’s direction is rather sleep-inducing. I remember going with friends to see Blade Runner 2049 and the friends went to sleep. It is usually the case with atmosphere-heavy and subtext heavy movies. Another example of a similar director would be Nicolas Winding Refn. Who deliberately sometimes refuses to engage the audience. Instead you are stuck with a few minutes long closeup of the character thinking about something.

I think those kinds of films are not for all people. But those that love this aesthetic love it a lot.

IDK sometime it feels not enough to just share a link to a story. It feels like I need to make sure people know exactly how I personally see the issue at hand. Hell I made 2 projects each of which took me more than 3 years. So it is 6 years only for 2 projects. Maybe I’m just exceptionally megalomanian…

I was trying to make a filler that is somewhat related to the story at hand and that points the reader at a direction of some kind of philosophical discussion here. Like I was comparing my work to the situation in Georgia. And my personal experience to that situation. As to show how insane the whole thing really is. Maybe I over-indulged myself with the filler. Now I look at it and it is kind of funny to me that I wrote so much of it.

You caught me. I was trying not to smile while recording the voice section, but you can hear me smile a bit, because of how utterly round about the article is. I wanted to stretch the reveal as long as possible, because just saying it plainly would have been a Mastodon post. But I wanted an article. So I filled it up with a bunch of bullshit.

I bought a phone for something like $20 which is very simple. It has no vibration. It has 65 KB of onboard storage. And it is not a smartphone. I don’t even take it with me most of the time, because I know that nobody will call me anyway, so why bother. I use it very rarely. The most usage I have from it is calling, flashlight and maybe as a clock once every so often, since I have many actual clocks.

On the computer I use GNU / Linux. And I have no complaints.

So I don’t understand why even bother with a smartphone in the first place?

PS: I would love to try Pinephone or Librem5 though.

It’s proprietary.

Working on new fire stuff.

Nothing too complicated, I just implemented a day-night cycle.
