  • My family didn’t want to “spoil” (financially support) me, because what if all those rags to riches tales are all true? Then in college it bit me in the ass really hard, because some fuckwit in Hungary decided that to combat unemployment of young adults, mandatory internship time will be required for all college degrees, except the system is horribly abused, and without the necessary connections you’ll be paying 1-2 months worth of salary, so you can work for half a year for free, which is good because after that you might be able to work for barely above minimum wage, which isn’t even enough for a rent in Budapest, so I need even more connections to share a room with someone else.

    Then I found a channel on YouTube called “Libertarian Socialist Rants”.




    • A non-AI generated image - it communicates to artists that they’re not welcome, while Linux is getting there in support for artists (Krita, LMMS, etc.).
    • A debugger with a GUI - no, I don’t care about writing shell scripts to automate debugging.
    • Server-side decorations on Gnome - just add an option for it FFS!
    • A way to easily recover from a crash during an update - I was lucky that I could do it from the command line, but my Ubuntu still likes to crash the VM host if I open Nautilus.
    • Drivers.
    • Linux devs not throwing a temper tantrum for a driver not being GPL. I know, that would be the ideal, but corporations gonna corporate.

    Also web-native apps are a web 2.0 mistake, and lead to the abandonment of many portable GUI frameworks in favor of the “what if your pops didn’t had to install Word Processor, and instead just had to type wordprocessor.com into his browser” idea of some techbro. Do you know why your ÜBERGAMERMOUSE Ultrautility is 250+MB? Because they’re all Electron apps!




  • I personally locked my account, and only going there to “spy” on some people only being active there, or to interact with some mutual. It’s too much of a toxic pit, the porn bots now even post illegal stuff, and the site is buggy. It was quite good for my mental health to delete that app from my phone though. I miss the community I had there, some I’m instead in contact on Discord (I have a Matrix account too, haven’t been using it much), some on Mastodon. That community was slowly disappearing since the Musk takeover, not because of my absence from what is now basically just a 4chan that is still somehow attracts corporations. I wonder if I manage to find a new one soon, or maybe even create my own.






  • Nah, you need to realize your loved ones, and everything else you love is in danger by fascism, then use the power of love towards those things to gain inspiration in your fight against fascism.

    If you ask: “gamergate” and similar things are just temporary things, usually just distractions from how capitalism decays art and “geek culture”, and of course a recruitment tool. But in reality, you would be lucky, if you could play some state-sponsored games on your choice of platform, and would likely have to parttake in some “book burning type of event”.


  • Godot is a game engine.

    SDL, on the other hand, is not, and instead is a multimedia layer (middleware) often used for game development.

    One could argue that game engines constitute as middleware, but in reality, most modern game engines are way more than that, and instead often rely on other middleware nowadays (e.g. OpenGL, or even SDL for some). This, alongside with people mistakingly calling SDL a game engine, leads to stuff like this.
