if only there were a better zelda on the nes

oh wait, there is. it's called Zelda Ⅱ: The Adventure of Link®, and has been unfairly maligned by babies for nearly 40 years

"i will progress in this dungeon by bombing this wall that looks like all the other walls. let me go around bombing every mountainside. this game is a masterpiece." <-- actual beliefs held by actual zelda 1 fans

zelda 2 otoh doesn't rely on obscure item placements or sequences of events to progress, and just has way better combat. idk how zelda 1 got to be the favourite

after the outcry in the wake of the invasion of ukraine, and the deafening silence on palestine, i've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of the tech community simply don't see palestinians as human.

which is to say (without knowing who the cryptographer in question is), it's quite possible his homepage does reflect his current stance

this is like that star trek episode where they use the holodeck to figure out what happens if you go warp 10, then it turns out actually doing that turns you into a lizard

i'm very self-conscious of answering this, because it feels like i'm on the edge of doing the thing i'm criticising.

so i'll be vague instead: you can substitute 'on here' and 'other bigger website' for ones that rhyme with 'gastrodon' and 'mritter', respectively. i'm dependent on using gastrodon's explore tab to find interesting accounts to follow, but thanks to people screenshotting all the bad things from mritter, i get to see all the bad things from there on gastrodon instead, interspersed with self-satisfied wanking about how gastrodon isn't full of the things it's full of screenshots of.

thought this was common knowledge. they named the space shuttle after him.

mr breast's gonna buy twitter for 3% of what musk paid for it, and musk's gonna either buy wikipedia or become ceo of the linux foundation.

shame. though i did have a good time reading the off-topic comments on github arguing the merits of mastodon in shadow the hedgehog voice.

you can restrict who's allowed to make forums, which ought to have been admins only from the beginning.

it's just because it's postmill. only admins can add mods.

I've been trying to piece together what this is about, and it seems to be in reference to this. Also seems like a larger situation that's been brewing for a while, judging by some comments?

Anyway i was just surprised to come across a second person talking about queer baiting in relation to rust, even if it is in reference to the foundation and not the language itself

changing this would effectively log everyone out, so i don't think it should be done.

also having www as a separate subdomain is good if you want to have other subdomains, since cookies from one don't interfere with others.
