sending this to people who crashout over mullvad

Made a post about how jank FOSS by talking about the now-forgotten goal: deprecating big tech. As long as FOSS developers are crashing out, they deserve to use Windows 11.

FWA 2018 :: The eve of the decline

(also fuck "too many attachments" error thank you great software)

man the 8 bit guy fell off hard (this is actually his account btw)

that's cute, now where's the bsd support?

linux is finally getting systemd level anticheat

dudes will post shit that's more blatant than what got Weev a gab ban and wonder why they get banned.

theres a pc98 demo dropping at deadline 2026 be sure to tune in this shit is gonna be fire

the website that is so transgressive they ban art when the wind blows one way, hell yeah I should give my money to them

we fucked over our userbase, why are they leaving? why are they on twitter? why are we putting the fries in the bag?

Linux Samba is funny because at one point it seemed to just work and now the only way I can copy files to my PC-98s running Windows 9x is with....Windows of some form including Windows 11.

So much for kicking their ass.

The Discord boycott has been a hilarious failure so far, and all that's come out of it are internet artists drawing images of the Discord mascot being brutally killed for e-clout (coming off like Chris Chan and DeviantArtists drawing similar art of their fursona killing their enemies) before going back to the #vent channel to post about how the LGBT is most affected.

Sure, Discord is doing that, but where are you going to go? The forum churning users because the "in your face" culture repels new users and even gets old users caught up in "user was banned for this post" and forum drama? The instance that might shut down/get nuked because the admin didn't like people discussing Harry Potter? The old internet revival project that has a Discord? The private server for a chat client that also has a Discord?

Discord has taken over the internet in the age where normies throw their PC out when Windows got a virus, where any friction is too hard, and where they get on your ass about downloading a random file or installing a different OS before they run "FreeJaneRemoverMP3.exe" which really just dumps the "mrbeast spam" in every server as everyone acts more normie coded to avoid getting shit on by the "usual suspects".

One more post about Discord and the age ID thing, but this time looking into how the alternatives have failed to capture market share and going over some of the background to this whole fiasco.

Reposting this post I made about Discord, given that now they're rolling out age verification (but toned it down so most people won't get caught in the dragnet in theory):

https://pleromanonx86.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/so-you-want-to-replace-discord/

Discord is not a chat app. Outsiders in the FOSS sphere think it is, but it's just the modern internet in one app like how AOL was back in the day, or China's "everything apps".

the internet does not die with a bang, or with a whimper, but "you must be logged in to view this post"

Posting this here (I keep forgetting to post blogposts): https://pleromanonx86.wordpress.com/2026/09/21/sagexpo-when-everything-is-the-same/

In this post I take a look at the SAGExpo, and the eternal problem with the indie scenes: that beyond retro throwbacks everything is in the "Nintendo Mold" and made by people who have never lived life outside the computer screen.

it'll be interesting to see how the future plays out, when everyone is doxed from forum breaches from 10 years ago and the only people allowed to be e-famous will be born in a vat, like Hollywood child stars or something (but they can't find anyone like that)

my pc has been hijacked by poop.net agents what should I do

"this person doesn't like people being killed, fuckin bigot"

LMFAO MODERN ONLINE GAMES SERVERS FOR A 90S GAME MAKE YOU JOIN THEIR DISCORD GROUP TO PLAY

I would like to remind you people why dedicated servers died. It's because they're run by TCRF type admins.

they have designed it a game that rapes your CPU when it's not even running

average crt enthusiast

a brilliant metaphor for internet politics

reddit is dying so hard they are login walling

just found out the xscreensaver guy, who writes sternly worded emails to anyone who makes a Windows port, does NOT like when you tell him to use alt-text in images

haha

Interesting effortpost dropped about institutional level internet censorship calling it the "closure of the internet". It's very tl;dr but it goes into detail what many of the top social media sites did from 2015-22, and breaks it down into two phases, the post Trump/Brexit era of 15-19, and the COVID lockdown era of 2020-22.

Also it tellingly mentions that it never ended, Twitter just dialed back and everyone else has the infrastructure in place.

Of course there are also people who will deny with a smile that this actually happened.

palworld is a bait and switch you get 50-60 hours in and then the rape starts and you wish you spend your time angering the section 8 residents on cod instead

404 media be like: headline: BIG THING HAPPENING WITH AI COMPANIES DOING THIS EVIL THING the article:

palworld literally is what would happen if a Japanese dev made stalker

look man I hate when that AI thing does decompiling, I only like my decomps with IDA Pro and GHIDRA (Kosher Certified)

🚨LINUS HAS SAID THAT LINUX IS NOT IN FACT GNU/LINUX 🚨

mfs will argue about chat control then pick like 4000 different clients to move to then move back to Discord a week later

oh speaking of that has anyone noticed that GDQ has been so irrelevant that nobody is even ironically hate watching it anymore?

macos 9 getting fedi clients before ios is

they're putting the xbox ceo who fired everyone in charge of jobs we live in the idiocracy timeline

today on linuxfights: openmandriva is sabotaged...by the main developer of Mumble after some petty internet beef involving being kicked from a Matrix chat.

sony got community noted btw

you will NOT call me a sony-pony that's racist

sony fucked up so hard even the furry sex toy companies are making jokes at their expense

gaming crash coming soon according to "insiders", and they're still gonna fall upwards

They're blaming AI, but anyone knows the real reason is that it's not worth being online when the only people on there left are psychos with TracFones and everyone else is trapped in the wagie cage, talking about their favorite team and the scores of the game.

Why yes, I want to be online when the social contract is "never ever make the Discord mod feel uncomfortable".

Kernel level anticheat happens for the same reasons you can't have testkits/devkits without activation anymore.

It's because the people who get them, instead of deciding to write homebrew and maybe seek out a job somewhere, decide the best thing to do is to use them to fucking cheat in online games or cause chaos. Some things really never change online, it seems.

Who wants a ultra-high dose blackpill?

Here you go: Companies will ONLY fix their shit, not when YouTuber56 makes an "expose" video, but when someone, somewhere, cracks the whip.

asked an xbox gamedev discord if you can still make games for the one lmao the game industry is getting what it deserved in this economic crisis

we live in the timeline of elon musk posting and alex jones praising uwe boll movies

"Just use Discord" they said "Everyone else uses it" they said

vtuber models are fursonas for women

man protected print mode is a flop

Pokemon is like finding out what your old friends are up to (in a bad way).

Seriously, it's just a dialed in merch brand. No, you're not getting cool TCG art on the pinball machine you're getting the worst stock art.

I have given my official statement on the current state of Linux by putting my money where my mouth is

Guys, here's this fear porn article decided to make you feel some way. No, I won't suggest solutions and any way out of it, not even outsourcing what I want people to do.
