But let me remain unoriginal here: I won't be blaming capitalism and keep blaming Google in particular — typical me 😁
Google is threatening to revoke early access to their devices if you give them unfavourable reviews: https://slashdot.org/story/432118
The agreement tells participants they're "expected to feature the Google Pixel device in place of any competitor mobile devices." It also notes that "if it appears other brands are being preferred over the Pixel, we will need to cease the relationship between the brand and the creator."
Let's see if I can find better uses for my gemlog than being a collection of old broken and unfinished posts.
Ideally, I want it to become an outlet for walls of text I post here, but in reality I find myself more motivated when I'm interacting with people on Fedi.

The Minuteman III missile (1970) is America's land-based nuclear deterrent, with 400 missiles ready to launch. The missile used a complex guidance system with over 17,000 electronic and mechanical parts that cost $4.5 million in current dollars. Let's take a look at the guidance system and computer. 1/N

>on the subject of static assets I wonder if there could be an option to ignore file extension when replacing as I can't figure out how to APNG on GIMP and would like to make animated webp related the background for the instance frontpage and the filename must be identical down to the png extension
>would be nice to have bookmarks like pleromer
>docs for setting up XMR donations spotty and confusing, have dead links
Tl;dr: Mitra is at the point I could comfortably run it for my main instance, and I would recommend people run it over Pleromer or its forks. It runs better, it's not a pain in the arse to set up and maintain, DB doesn't eat up 500 quintillion terabytes of data for a single user instance (unless you do something retarded), updates are frequent and add features that are actually needed. It's pretty swell.

I've conducted extensive research and can now 100% confirm that Elon is a cat eater. Did I just search the internet for one lazy example of the exact thing I was looking for? Yes, but that's what he does to attack immigrants and the trans community every day so I'd say it's fair.

Looks like a nice tutorial, complete with bringing the dependencies in, of how to do things (making a chess engine in this case) in Zig: https://johns.codes/blog/making-a-chess-engine-in-zig

pros and cons of paying for disney+ vs piracy
disney+
pros:
- get most of the disney shows and movies
- can share account with ppl
cons:
- can't sue disney for any reason
- have to pay to use disney+
- shows and movies can be removed at any time
- you don't "own" any of the content you're viewing
- disney+ can and will probably shut down at some point, you may have to resort to piracy to watch things you enjoyed
piracy:
pros:
- free (mostly)
- can watch any movie you want for free, even those not on disney+
- can sue disney
- you own what you're watching. you have the file on your computer, and can keep it forever
cons:
- might need a vpn/seedbox depending on your country or if you're paranoid about your ISP. VPNs such as Mullvad/AirVPN can be used, which is cheaper than what you'd pay for disney+ anyways
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
