I hated those things because of how easy it was to scam unaware parents. “Your kid asked for a playstation? Oh, sure, it’s this polystation, they must’ve said the name wrong, it’s this one, for sure!”

I’m not part of the target audience as I don’t have a cat, but I don’t see the value in this over a cheap red laser pointer. Automatizing play with your pet sounds super dehumanizing, like, you can’t even be bothered to spend 5 minutes entertaining your pet?

What kind of mango season happens in the middle of the year? Down here, it’s december-january

250000 times better than english

That’s a very low bar tho

Brazil wasn’t much different in regards to being ignored by Nintendo and Sega picking up the slack and money, first with their Master System then with the Mega Drive.

The thing with the infinite amounts of famiclones was that the original Famicom was fully made of off-the-shelf parts, that is, if you know how to solder stuff, you can make one by yourself if you buy the components. When Nintendo started considering the Brazilian market, they realized they were too late: our local famiclones were better machines, with some of them having slots for both western and Japanese cartridges.

To me, that’ll be the Amiga 500 computer then. I don’t think it ever existed in Brazilian soil, but damn, talk about the best consumer hardware you could get in the mid-late 80s. Like many good things, (mis)management fucked it up. Ars Technica has a series of articles that explain its history very well

Depending where you live, a modded PS1 is easier to find than an unmodded one. Brazil, for instance

It’s the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he’s internet famous for whatever reason

Why can’t we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?

And lots of articles as bragging rights!

It gives you fucking CONTROL back in your hands! This is all about putting the people, back in control of the internet!

So do I2P, HyphaNet (formerly FreeNet) and ZeroNet. They’re all P2P networks and can run on old hardware, with the drawback being that you can’t access normal internet sites while connected to them

Sometimes, I think that peertube would work better as simply being a different section of a personal/private website. You know how some sites hosted their own videos back before youtube became “the only place to post videos”? Gametrailers, Machinima, ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, etc.

Federation helps with discovery, but not much beyond that, I think.

Server costs and disk limitations.

If your job is somehow enriching someone else, spuddle every day

Why should I put any more effort in this when you didn’t put any on the initial argument or any other reply in this thread?

The “shameless pedantry” is meant to ensure that the point you’re trying to make is clear and not an infinite exercise of “moving the goalposts”. If the premise is bad, the whole argument fails.

As for the point, the other poster that said “it’s the current reality” made the best reply, in my opinion

Not to mention all the immigrants, legal or not, that keep pouring into the country

How is it different from other random/shuffle options?

It really feels like you’re trying to make any sort of persuasion = advertising, which is just stupid.

Also, calling “a body of techniques” a technology would imply that martial arts and dances are technologies.

Ah, Blender. I’m mainly using 3.6, because 4.x crashes or freezes too often
