Europe according to Orban:

I hope we start seeing more linux phone operating systems come into the fold… it’s getting ridiculous now

Tech companies have a weird kink for keeping customers safe from themselves. Just give us the choice and put a paragraph in the T&Cs saying "we bear no responsibility if you damage your device doing this"

Fuck the show "Big Brother" I am tired of it appearing on my feed. Always that hashtag BB27. I've never been interested in it. I've never watched it in my life, follow no accounts related to it, and have never sought any information about it on this app or liked any posts.

google needs to stop looking at iphone and trying to copy what they do. Accept that the Android is a different fucken phone. The people who like iPhone are not going to switch, and the people who like Android (quite plenty of them!) dont like what iPhone does.

support privacy and encryption? then stop adhering to the UK's anti-encryption Online Safety Act

The thing is, I unironically don't care if the Online Safety Act actually leads to child abuse cases on the internet dropping to 0. I'm sure reading people's minds and arresting those with violent thoughts would reduce murder cases to 0, but I'd still be against it as it is dystopian.

Happy birthday to Windows 95, yesterday. It launched commercially on 24th August 1995 after being released to OEM on 14th July.

Windows 95 is 30 I hear

Android appears to have just announced plans to lock down like iPhone. No more writing software, not even on devices you own, without getting permission from Google first. In other words, an Android device will no longer be a device you "own". lethallava.land/notes/abuxw7...

Little by little I’m converting my friends from Windows 10 to Linux. A fresh install of Solus or Mint and they’re instantly hooked… it really doesn’t take much convincing. 🤣👍🐧💻 #Linux #FOSS #Solus #LinuxMint

"Yo, surveillance and age checks are swag. I totally dig face scanning. Opponents of the OSA are sussy AF. Peter Kyle is the CEO of drip."

Won't someone think of the birds and bats? As a young person, I hate those old people who for the past 20 or so years have pushed back on building anything and now complain bills are through the roof, and thanks to them most of my generation will never be able to afford a home.

We made the "Road Safety Act" to protect children by banning them from leaving the house. If you disagree with it, then you're on the side of dangerous drivers.

Every UK petition is like this

I've realised the Online Safety Act CANNOT be beaten unless we make it a dealbreaker issue in elections. I'm talking refusing to vote for any candidate for MP unless they commit to repealing it, and demanding local/devolved candidates speak against it. #UK #Technology

Nearly 400,000 Britons have now signed a petition calling for repeal of the Online Safety Act. Astounding. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

New flags to protest against the Online Safety Act, in the form of the Anarcho-Communist (left) and Anarcho-Capitalist (right) flags.

THEN MAKE PLANS YOU FUCKING MORONS. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Petition has passed the threshold for a debate: "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Parliament will consider this petition for a debate as it has 100056 signatures #PetitionAwaitingDebate

100,000 signatures on this petition. Let's turn that into a million. Let's overtake that stupid "hold another election" petition from last year or the one to remain in the EU. Let's show the government we won't give up our privacy without a fight. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... #UK #Tech

Luckily I have abruptly moved to the Netherlands in the last few days so I am not affected by the #OnlineSafetyAct 😉

When you want more money for the NHS and schools but the dictator of Cameroon who spends all the tax money and aid on building new mansions and yachts has determined you are responsible for a flood that happened there 20 years ago #climate #ClimateReparations #ICJ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Any UK-based users please sign this petition. The Online Safety Act is draconian and is leading to forums closing down, only furthering the megacorporation monopoly on the internet. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... #UK #Politics #Technology

Update on my game: I'm switching over to OpenGL and going to make it 3D! Unlike SDL, OpenGL does not have any built-in text rendering, so I spent a week making one. #programming #opengl #gamedev

In an alternative timeline where the Nazis won WW2, a British hip-hop trio known as Elbowhat is being investigated by the Reich Ministry of the Interior for saying "Fuck Palestine, Free Israel"

I played Free France in #TNO mod for HOI4.

"Reddit – The heart of the internet" Well the internet is going to be having a lot of heart attacks then.

minecraft essentially being a cultural landmark is insane to me still. this shits in the library of congress now holy shit

Leak for the shop in my game. There will be three categories: health upgrades, turret upgrades, and power-ups. The player can purchase upgrades using points obtained by killing enemies #gamedev #programming #cpp

In the evening, I went to my local Co-op to buy Hot Chocolate. There I found these Minecraft themed Oreos #minecraft #oreo #minecraftmovie

"Laser Game" update: name and health of enemies now displayed in a small box above them. In the future I want to only show the information when the turret is pointing in their direction. #gamedev #programming #cpp

So apparently it's been over a month since I posted an update, here's some new footage of my game. The first enemy "the sting" drifts towards the player and hits it, inflicting a small amount of damage, and runs away. The player can shoot a laser to hurt the enemy. #gamedev #programming #cpp

What the hell is this moron on about? The UK didn't have elections during WW2, does that make Winston Churchill a dictator? It's quite hard to have elections when bombs are being dropped on your cities and many of your men are away from home dying for their freedom. #ukraine #trump

The context is that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

I've been a bit busy so I haven't had as much time to work on my game. I've added an enemy sprite and the ability to fire the laser but I won't post about it yet.

Day #2 of Space Game development. Today I added a health bar, a game over screen, and the basis for a points system. The player will lose health when enemies (TBA) attack it, and if the player runs out of health they will die. Points will be obtained by killing enemies. #gamedev #programming #cpp

I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.

Day #1 of developing my game, for now called "the Space Game". Today I implemented the turret. The turret's purpose will be to shoot projectiles at enemies either by moving the turret using the arrow keys or AD or turning it to point at the target by moving the mouse. #gamedev #programming #cpp

I'm so glad I'm not American. I'd hate to have to choose between supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom, versus pissing off all the celebrities I dislike the most. #Election2024 #USElection

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,009,235!

Progress on living room so far for my new game project #pixelart #gamedev

Today, one could say "Russia controls New York" and they would be correct. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is so messed up. That's fr like saying "Gluten free bread can still have gluten" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When you choose to Oppose Hitler in HOI4 Germany focus tree #HOI4 #memes

HOI4 peace treaties are so unrealistic. Like if Germany beat Britain in WW2, Britain wouldn't just be like "Oh, congrats, you reached Edinburgh, let us give you Australia, Canada, and India". Or what? Germany is going to sail all the way there to fight for it? #HOI4 #gaming

Idk if anyone on this app plays HOI4, but I just got my personal record for beating the Nazis in the "Oppose Hitler" focus #HOI4 #gaming

Backpack setup in my game project. The game is set following a nuclear apocalypse, which results in the collapse of civilisation. The goal of the player is to expand their underground bunker and build up its defences to survive attacks while surviving #gamedev #programming
