To me, that’s what you are. You benefit from me not being allowed to hurt you for not being hurt while I suffered for years. Social media, even federated social media, exists to protect people who want me gone because it’s more fucking convenient. I hate you all.

Because I hate you all for refusing to give an entire profession the benefit of the doubt.

I hate humans, but you don’t see me going around telling people that their mild lack of trust is not enough of a lack of trust.

If this post mattered two months ago but not now, it never mattered. Fuck you assholes.

Armed protests didn’t protect Sandy Brook when American cops decided they didn’t care. Armed protests haven’t fucking done shit, peaceful protests haven’t done shit either.

But where do you think there is to FUCKING go?! You will DIE in an anarchy, you will DIE under communism, you will DIE under a monarchy, you will DIE in a dictatorship, and you will DIE under democracy.

You cannot be satisfied, because I know the truth. You’re all FUCKING SCUMBAGS who think of themselves as deserving of “wealth to have power over others” just to feel safe.

Go. Away. All of you. If you can’t trust a random person because the system is corrupt to the core, no system will ever be good enough for any of you. Your neighbours, your friends, your family, and most of all your leaders cannot be trusted under standards like that no matter HOW much anyone likes them.

And that means I can’t trust you, because you already never trusted me. I’m done with this fucking bullshit, I hope you all get yourselves killed because you’re the ones who have doomed us just as much as the rich assholes; you will delegitimize any government and if we end up in anarchy because of that, I have no reason to not commit omnicide. Not genocide, omnicide. We will be extinct. That is how much you fucking disgust me.

Then what the FUCK isn’t?! You can’t trust doctors 100%, I’ve been down that road, you can’t trust cops 100%… WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU ALL WANT?! THERE WILL NEVER BE A HAPPY END FOR YOU BECAUSE HUMANS AND EVERYTHING THEY BUILD AND EVERYTHING THAT IS ALIVE IS DANGEROUS!

YOU! WILL! NEVER! FEEL! SAFE!

Do not fucking tell me something and then fucking dig up dirt like this is some sort of fucking courtroom, my life was destroyed by psychiatric malpractice, and if any of those comments should’ve mattered, I’d be in jail right now because I did go before a judge and I was deemed to have been under the effects of incorrectly-prescribed medications for YEARS.

If you ever so much as look for my name in a search engine ever again, I’ll be hiring a private investigator and then a lawyer. Go away.

Well, since you decided to be fucking awful about it, I should note that the guy who developed Steamfork seemed to agree you were an asshole. Fuck you and fuck bazzite for killing your competition.

If you contact me on any platform ever again, I’ll destroy everything you hold dear. Shut up if an honest apology that implied no attempt to ask for renewed access (why would I?), made for your benefit because I felt I’d flown off the handle and with no expectations of depenalization, is an insult to you.

It kind of does matter, from what I understand. nVidia’s closed-source laptop chip drivers were apparently a huge headache for Linux gaming.

Hi. Can I apologize for getting so upset on your Discord and ask something? Next time you won’t do something, please at least recommend another Distro that might.

I discovered my best option is Arch Linux, though setup was not easy. Projects like Steam Handheld Integration Project are probably the best option for someone if they ask for a feature and you are unable or unwilling to provide it, I understand you’re not obligated to code anything and just want to say that if a feature is outside of scope, recommendations for other distros is the best approach to deal with Linux newbies like me.

Also, to anyone asking, yes Arch was a pain. It’s a small miracle I got it working. It is, however, a good option for Windows 11 handhelds like the OneXFly if you understand command lines (CLIs) like my brother.

Thank you.

As a privacy-valuing PC gamer, I’m afraid that’s a bad idea. As great as GOG’s way of doing things is/was, I need to transition away from Windows more than I need to transition away from Steam. I’m sorry, but as of 2025 Steam is less evil than Microsoft.

Whoops, you’re right. Sorry, my Canadian is showing. Tbf, American politics has always been a necessary thing to know about here.

Anyone think it’s weird the Republicans would choose an animal associated with Africa and the Indian subcontinent?

Well, it’s exactly that in technical terms, yes. Somehow, “complementary games included (subject to limited-time redeemability on a monthly basis) each month you subscribe” is not as marketable from Amazon as from Humble Bundle. Privacy is becoming serious business now that things outside the gaming industry are becoming… a game of chance? Eh, whatever, I’m not here for politics and this seems like an okay way to buy GOG titles.

Eh, I’ll take it if we’re talking about actual donkeys and not the Republican party of the US. Did you that, in lieu of a dog, a donkey is a perfect way to protect livestock?

I’m serious, a predator should think twice; A donkey can grab a cougar’s tail and literally beat it to death by using the wildcat as a living flail. Very protective.

That’s fair, just realize some of us are tired of online pessimism to such a degree that an AI - telling me there are in fact potential solutions and to keep trying - is actually good for our mental health. I only use Perplexity for research and musings that I sometimes post here to be discussed, not to completely replace human interaction on the Fediverse.

Fortunately, no. But they will probably eat the harmless giant grasshopper-things (wela) that also live in New Zealand backyards.

There’s also giant crickets in Africa, and several giant beetles in Japan. I swear I don’t remember where I learned all this, I’ve never even been to New Zealand or Australia or any of the other places (aside from South America).

Fair enough, but if you’re on the internet post-2017 looking to reduce your stress, you’re in the wrong parts of the internet. Find a forum that’s been around since well before then on your hobbies (niche hobbies like old fandoms tend to have the best results), other than that social media killed the internet.

If they did, this is a f-ing miracle. Imma do it next time I sign up for a service that doesn’t require confirmation emails to change the address (they’re rare but there’s a few, lemmy/kbin instances are sometimes among them).

What about “Our Lives Matter Too” (OTM2)? You’re trying to fight oppression, appealing to empathy should have been the first resort. I know it feels good to prove being black or dark-skinned doesn’t mean you need help, I’ve been there because I have autism and have encountered ableism from people who are supposed to be doctors or nurses, I’m just saying that once the few white people in the civil rights movement left, it lost steam because the opponent was more willing to get other people’s assistance (in bad ways, but they still succeeded and that should have been countered).

For what it’s worth, if a cop pointed a gun at a kid, I’d die to put myself between them before I let him pull the trigger, and if I would be too late, I’d f-ing kill the bastard. Fortunately, I’ve never met a cop willing to do that. I honestly hate it that your country has cops who are willing to do that in the open.

Isn’t that what they did? At least between consenting adults.

Technically, yes. And for a time, it was good.

Then Roe vs. Wade was overturned for no good reason and Trump stole the election last year. The (federal) laws towards gay/lesbian(/etc?) marriage hasn’t changed afaik, but it would surprise me if that is how it is in practice under Teflon Don.

Not bashing anyone, does LGBTQ as an acronym even matter as a whole for marriages as much as for self-expression and mental health? Not in a “LGBTQ is lesser” way, but think about it logically. Asexuals (well, aromantic asexuals) aren’t getting married, they don’t want to. Getting married as transgender should absolutely be legal and legitimate, it’s just that in a marriage, you’re either male or female or (in rare cases) hermaphroditic in a biological, body-focused sense, so your marriage can be gay or lesbian or straight but whether you started out as the gender you currently are should be irrelevant to marriage status as long as the government acknowledges you are your current gender regardless of if you changed your gender.

If you want to normalize this stuff, the best way to do it is to at least recognize nuance and definitions. There are edge cases, those can and should be considered legal too, but as a single asexual person with opinions that contradict both partisan political extremes, if it looks like a fashion statement instead of a call for peace or a demand for true equality, you’re probably doing it wrong.

Of course, now there are bigger issues. Probably better to force Trump off his throne and then never let up the pressure on improving from there.

I mean, you’re both kind of right. I’m no doctor but it seems like something doctors (good doctors, anyway) would seriously consider in regards to this. On the one hand, they’re leaving people to the wolves. On the other, there is nothing you can do in the US if it gets that far that will outweigh the good you can do elsewhere. But then, is that actually true? This isn’t the literal same as WWII, it’s just extremely similar, a pattern we are able to recognize this time around because it happened before and was well-documented. It’s possible that this time, leaving would in fact cause more harm than good. But if you have a family… Well, I can’t blame you for protecting your own kids over your patients and their kids, as long as you don’t throw someone else under the bus.

It’s complicated. When there’s that many variables, all you can do is trust your gut. No one can predict the future that well, if at all.
