Why was Alabama let into the CFP in the first place? They’re nowhere near Indiana in terms of talent. Blowouts are a terrible product and these cash-poor Deep South teams clearly shouldn't be expected to compete with schools like Indiana.

People are either fans of Neal Stephenson's work, or they are not. There is not a middle ground when it comes to him.

I'm thankful that places like Bluesky & Mastodon don't include AI garbage in their apps. How do you feel?

One of the important things about friendships is recognizing that regardless of how long one lasts, it's always important to stand up for your values first. If a person isn't compatible with your values, they probably aren't compatible with you.

Playing BG3 for the first time is like playing New Vegas for the first time. It's a very rare type of magic.

Presumably, this government by Truth Social posts will define exactly what an β€œillegal protest” is, and that definition will not be so broad that it encroaches on free speech guarantees we’ve enjoyed for two centuries.

Looking forward to season two of The Last of Us. Wonder how part two will translate from the game medium to a show.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

While Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc are not perfect platforms, being a part of the status quo only serves to entrench the bad actors. We should be celebrating the responses of projects such as Debian who choose to respect their core values over "inconvenience".

Are we supposed to shrug when platforms like Twitter choose to eliminate protections against LGBTQ+ individuals because it is inconvenient to move to different platforms? If you remain active on a platform, you only continue to make it difficult for those forced to depend on it.

Secondly, we should consult the concept of "paradox of tolerance" as people tend to equate "banning platforms" as being intolerant. When we extend tolerance of those who are intolerant of others, those who tend to obtain power are quick to infringe upon the rights of those who tolerated them.

First, there is a reason why open source communities especially should be migrating as many people over to fediverse alternatives as possible. Nazism, fascism, and bigotry have no place in any FOSS project, let alone any self-respecting community that wants to promote or stand for human rights.

In the last couple of days, I have seen people on various open source communities compare the wave of banning Twitter on Discord & Reddit as "banning an entire nation", and this take infuriates me for many reasons that I am about to dive into.
