Is there a good (free) alternative to discord that I can use to do voice chat with my friends while gaming? That's all I use it for and I'm not doing their age verification bullshit

To repeat.

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.

norman rockwell's freedom of speech, but the standing guy has been edited to sit down

couldn't sleep so i made him sit down

So good

I stopped caring about Game of Thrones awhile ago but checking out this Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and it's really good 🥹

Whatever devs are seeing in their immediate environment that turns them into believers in LLM-coding is objectively not being carried forward into the products and services as experienced by actual end users.

Might go watch a scary movie while everyone else is watching the super bowl tomorrow

Heathcliff and the boy in the red shirt are pondering a small mousetrap on the ground. Just around the corner is an enormous mouse, maybe ten feet tall, watching them. They do not see it. The boy says: "I just want love".

On Mastodon there's a bot which once an hour takes a randomly selected "Heathcliff" strip and randomly assigns it a caption from a randomly selected comment on "PornHub".

I am haunted by this one.

i think it’s a price worth paying but if our politicians keep cussing like this it’s not going to be cool anymore. we can largely offset the impact of this by green-lighting and fast-tracking development of new cuss words

Everybody thinks their town has the worst drivers but they're all wrong. Every driver is the worst driver.

Of the three shows I've been watching lately (Fallout, Night Agent, and Hijack) the only one that hasn't been disappointing is the one I had the lowest expectations for lol

Learning now that J. Cole is a rapper and not a clothing brand

I rarely do this, but I’m hoping I maybe have enough of a following here that someone can help: I need to get in contact with Donkey Kong. It’s urgent

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

i think in the name of fairness the producers of the baldur's gate tv show should demand that tv writers do at least a year of running around in circles doing unpaid writing tests before they're allowed to write for the show

top schumering lately. his party's supporters want ICE abolished; he proposes ICE being reformed, & then those reforms are a bunch of half-measures like the agents not wearing masks, & then he waters that down until we land on the agents not wearing masks unless they say they have a reason. 10/10

Uniscuit
Biscuit
Triscuit
Quadriscuit

etc

i got a few "i don't get it, ICE might be going too far but don't we have to have a way of removing illegal immigrants?" type responses to my charity drive announcement video and the answer there is no you do not. nobody illegal. don't care what the law says

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Please for the love of god how do we remove this man from office.

Well my name's Kamala
And I'm here to say
That I'm down with the kids
In a major way!

I have literally never heard anyone talk about bsky irl lmao. Sorry, but this website just isn't that important.

unbelievably grim to see Valve announce a delightful and exciting compact Linux box approximately 15 seconds before RAM became the more expensive material in the known universe.

Valve’s Steam Machine has been delayed, and the RAM crisis will impact pricing You’ll have to wait a little longer for Valve’s new hardware.

The Steam Machine has been delayed (from Q1 to H1, so maybe only a month or three) and Valve is going to have to reset pricing expectations entirely. Dang.

Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badgeware boards, right now it's Badger 2350 and I am having fun making my own badge with custom image of me. These new badges have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, onboard lipo and charging. They can be sooo much more than just a badge, and that is what I intend to do!

Asking for assistance, unemployment is exhausted and still out looking for work. Having no luck with the few interviews I’ve had.
If there’s anything I can do to make up for asking, I’ll do it.
Any help is appreciated, I can’t thank those who have already helped me enough.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

shes right, it was my idea to have kamala enlist The Cheney Clan to go on a human entrail spreading spree

Once again, useless
