Bring Back Translucent Games Consoles No Not You Sony 50000 Units Are You Kidding Me And It's Barely Even Translucent

Contrary to popular belief, nature does not abhor a vacuum.

99.9999999999999999999958% of the universe is completely empty. Give or take.

And the 0.0000000000000000000042% of the Universe which isn't empty is made of atoms – but atoms themselves are actually 99.9999999996% empty!

So everything is mostly nothing really.

When you look at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.

It’s not data ethics, it’s ethics.

It’s not data privacy, it’s privacy.

It’s not digital rights, it’s human rights in the digital/networked age.

Let’s make sure we keep the focus on what’s important and not allow well-understood terms, concepts, and existing rights to be redefined by those with vested interests in clouding* the conversation and eroding our human rights by backdooring in a new set of lesser rights for the digital/networked aspects of our selves.

* See what I did there? 😛

I had to deprecate Corebird from the Solus unstable repo today as a result of Twitter killing off their UserStream API ("retiring" it, in their words), officially tomorrow, thereby killing a plethora of third-party apps. So disappointed in the move by Twitter to do this, really enjoy Corebird as well as the numerous Android clients like Fenix and Talon.

I think it's about time I start promoting and encouraging people to switch to Mastodon, as well as starting to use it more heavily myself.

Is now a good time to once again milk this #Nintendo flowchart I made about which games belong on the Switch?

"They've found us."
"No!"
"Well, no, they have found our lake."
"So they will come. We must move again."
The mermaids of Mars all agreed. But they sang one last song before they moved out.
It might still echo when we get there.
