Ca m’a traversé l’esprit en indiquant la langue de certains de mes posts dans le Forum Libre, je me suis demandé si ça empêchait potentiellement des utilisateurs de les voir....

Hexbear Discussion Round 2

I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I’m almost certain they’ll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The...

Arthur C. Clark once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". What technologies do we have today that would look like magic to people from the past?

I think lasers are pretty wack when you think about them through this lens. A small, wand-like object in your hand can make light appear from seemingly nowhere. If it’s powerful enough it can set things on fire or blind people. Not to mention larger ones like laser cutters or the LLD, used to destroy missiles midflight. Thats...

Tried switching back around 2015, this time using Arch Linux for about a month, but had some bad experiences with gaming and...

According to statcounter in June 2023 almost 3/4 of browsers used are Chromium

Sorry in advance for what might appear to be rambling (because it kind of is), but I had a few thoughts and I’m very curious how the community sees these things. I’ll try to do my best to condense them....
