Where there is prohibition there is business. Always has been.

I have reasoned this is why some do it.

High personal damage, zero legal consequences.

Well thats confusingly transparant.

Depends, actual censorship of words exist worldwide.

Pointless censorship however i have only seen in US and Japan, but both for very different types of content.

Invidious works cross device in the browser though. Handles subscriptions just fine.

On Iphone its the only proper option.

I do run my own service, ymmv using a public one.

“Illegal” is just a joke at this point

For more then thousand years you who are Ea-nāṣir will be forgotten, but then during a time when language transcends the world we know and the people can communicate freely to any at any point of time without relying on a messenger, and the ways people expresse their ideas transcend the use of words and blends with the world of art. You will be become remembered.

The wise men will discover our history and you will be noted amongst us. Your name will be known to them and the existence of your person will become a meme, a sacred expression of their language.

And the meaning of your name will be that of shitty copper and the spirit of your person will be that of the worst of merchants.

Ea-nāṣir, a trader, sold sub-standard copper to a customer their scriptures will say. And this is the truth, so will it be.

“Inspired by the stanley parable”

Yeah that will do it. I am clicking that wishlist/buy button like i never had a choice in the matter.

Reprogramming old remotes is solar punk.

I know one that refers to “when it was next week” to talk about events that happend earlier today or yesterday.

Kids that age ain’t stupid though just confused spirits.

By starvation.

I am not even kidding, see indie game the movie.

Games are art and making art in this works comes with the sacrifice of not being able to afford anything until you by chance become popular.

Better a healthy strain picked by someone who cares about you than whatever the local exploiter is selling.

You have no right to call me out like that.

Oh yeah, and i really miss sonet.

I am on a 1 month break back to chatgpt and honestly it sucks, claude is way better.

The pattern/struggle predates llm though and I don’t have one to use in the middle of live interaction.

I had huge age of empire nostalgia vibes,

My friend had the same feeling but age of mythology instead.

Neither of us played the “other” game but we both agreed the sound design in 0ad was almost identical to our different memories.

They are top down strategy games so i sort of gave it this umbrella term. “Age of … “ strategy games

Of topic but that is one hell of a dogfart in the picture.

0 A.D is an free open source age of strategy kind of game. Add it to your collection.

As an autist i would realize its a prank but not how to respond to it.

I would probably just do the job in a super serious fashion as a way to prank back. Its not the first time where people react to me in a “omg it was just a joke” because i committed to their bit to hard. But that is what i find funny.

Ive had similar ideas on verified unaltered media to combat fake news. Such an archive but for journalism would be a great start.

I have even given it my own name, the conscious shift

Describing the contant momentum and flow of our state of mind.

Meditation is quite useful to observe this yourself.

My theory is that you develop the first state within the comfort of the womb, it is contrasted with the suffering of your first shift your birth , your early existence is you in confusion trying to shift back to that first comfort, you can’t but end up finding something similar in your mothers lap.

As you age the shifts form patterns: sleep itself, the groggy feeling after waking up, you washing down that feeling it with caffeine. You try to stay focused at work, then you try and relax as you come home. We are always trying to travel to the comfort states we know.

Learn the patterns and you control your life.

This is also how drug addiction form btw (in my subjective observation) when the patterns off the conscious shift are so that its the only state where you are comfortable.
