today's reason I fucking love the open source community: Ageless Linux, a brand new Debian-based operating system specifically designed to break the law by giving children access to computers that explicitly refuse to track their age.

reblog this post to help a child break the law

oh goddamn this whole page goes so hard actually, please go read it. what an impressive, visceral takedown of this dumb law

Currently we’re barely hanging on after losing food assistance and my income and any and all helped would be greatly appreciated!

$80/$1,438

$220/$1,438

$362.39/$1,438

$502.60/$1,438

$672.45/$1,438

Rent is due today. As of now we’re $765 from the set goal. Every bit helps us get closer to covering the full balance before eviction filings start. Please consider donating!

Rent is 2 days past due. We’re still $765 short and $250 in late fees will be added to the balance due if rent is not paid today. Please donate if at all possible.

Currently we’re $496 away from covering late rent/fees before the eviction filing deadline tomorrow morning!

Not book smart or street smart but a secret third thing.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

any ship can be problematic because I have the heart and soul of a depraved pervert

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.

was gonna make a post scratching my head over how come the state of discussion surrounding marginalized identity and accountability on here has become so goddamn infuriating to sift through but genuinely i think it's cause white marginalized people on this site sincerely believe their oppression on different axes innoculates them against participating in any form of bigotry especially racism. it literally all boils down to that

it makes me drag my hands down my face seeing the same one situation occur again and again where a white person on this site will say some extremely tone-deaf and racist shit and then god forbid an aggressive, i mean scary, i mean killjoy, i mean passionate person of color brings it up and it all becomes about how the white person is neurodivergent or transgender or gay or disabled or was vagued on twitter or was a gifted kid or is trying to heal their inner child or they're playing toys or something

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.
