It’s the age of Techtalitarianism. They’ve become more brazen and less discreet in the fact they want everyone to pay to access what has become an essential communication method. Soon enough, the “free” aspect of social media will be on par with a video game demo. One or two levels (or features in this instance), certain amount of posting and reading privileges per day, just enough to get a feel for the real thing hidden behind an increasingly hefty paywall.

Obsidian, Telegram and LibreOffice.

Yup. Obsidian is a ‘second brain’ system development-like app and there’s lots to it. It supports markdown, has a canvas where you can lay out and interconnect ideas and stuff. It’s very customisable, it’s just not open source. Libre Office, on the other hand, is a free and open source Microsoft 365/Office alternative.

WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain. Used to do 2-3 season mode playthroughs in one session, it was that addicting.

The Flashkit forums user who has been looking for help making a game… for the past twenty three years… in the long-outdated Flash 4. They first responded to the thread’s only commenter a whole seven years AFTER the thread’s original creation, and has since been irregularly posting in the thread seeking help as if they’re perpetually trapped in the year 2000.

It’s quite a trip.

I’d rather eat surstromming.

Winning contestants were also forbidden from selling the cars on eBay. Like, made to sign some kind of agreement. I don’t know how far that extended in regards to selling, but I found that little factoid about singling out eBay sales amusing.
