Just installed grapheneos last week and saw IVPN in the Accrescent store. Seemed interesting as I am running low on mullvad time. What a fun synchronicity
I was listening to The Idiot Bastard Son by Zappa and the Mothers when reading the post. Pretty fun timing for ai slop from a subject in the song. Give it some years and we might see a push for him in gov
I think he was half joking and half thinking of communities hes on that are more tech savvy. I'm also a little bit younger than him and interact with people younger than me, and I think theres a disconnect there.
Yes, I miss vent and irc but most people never used text or voice chat until it was centralized and braindead easy to use. I would like to go back to something like that, but most people never used it in the first place (compared to active users now) and probably have no interest in learning/setting it up.
As an early 30 something guy, I don't see most people my age hopping ship to something like Matrix or older comm software because of the learning curve vs Discord. Younger people even less based on my personal experience.
I was talking with a friend about this when they announced age verification. He seemed pretty optimistic that this would hopefully bring back forums/irc/vent servers or anything self hostable, but I'm not to sure. I'm sure all of us here knew what was going on with this, but I'm sure the average person still doesnt care as much and will continue to trade away privacy for convenience. We all have family and friends who come to when something like this happens, but continue to use services afterwards. Seems like we will continue to be a fun club of like minded people here on fedi stuff with most people staying with what they know.
Black Pants Legion sounds interesting. I have never played TT games but mechs and lore is always cool.
Halfman sounds interesting, I played Tarkov for a month or two in 2022. It was a lot of fun but I didnt have the time to play a lot, and felt like I was so under geared two months into a reset. If the single player mod still is being developed, I was thinking of giving that another shot.
White guys wearing shorts when its cold memes always makes me think of Suffer for fashion by Of Montreal . Thanks everyone for reminding me its time for an Elephant 6 listen session.
Personally I was always confused by it. I'm a white guy who loves long clothes and rock jeans whenever I can. My dad would (still does sometimes) wear shorts when its sub 50°F. I would ask why and he said he was from Michigan so I wrote it off.
I had a few friends in middle and high school who would wear shorts year round. I never realized why and they told me they were tough and shorts look cool. After growing up and looking back on their situation they probably only owned a set of clothes for year round use.
Catsarch is the best redlib instance I've come across. Don't forget about LibRedirect
I believe it's a St Michael tattoo
No we will just use the spring gas then

Sorry for the rant
I'll take a look at all of these! I started get into old SciFi radio dramas and never knew where to start with modern ones. Thanks!
A cousin of mine is a huge Wheel of Time fan was trying to convince me to give them a go. I'll check them out
I have a huge backlog of BTB to catch up on. Might be good at night, but I usually like to listen to them in one go.
Lost SciFi sounds awesome. I was listening to a few sci fi radio dramas and some short story audio books a little bit ago at work. I'll check it out!

I have been catching up on some Nothernlion bits and banter videos, those could probably work
I just started watching TNG for the first time. Maybe once I'm done I'll throw that in rotation!
At least hes just a millionaire and not a billionaire. We can trust him
