There is some innocence and optimism regarding the Internet.

EDIT: And the most important of them all: sincerity. Not everything was wrapped in over 9000 layers of irony.

From a Finnish perspective, the 2010s were a rather peaceful time, world events didn’t really affect my day-to-day life. But from 2020 onward every year has felt like survival.

So he wants a participation trophy.

There was an open petition for the WHO to change their guidance regarding respirators, good to see that it has gotten into the news!

Since Satya Nadella loves it so much, we should start calling the company “Microslop”.

And the modern game has no yellow paint, unlike the old one. How can you know where to go???

For those interested, this is a still from Ryan the Leader’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxnJcZvuRK8

• Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
• Still no peace deal in Ukraine
• Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
• Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
• Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
• The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?

The guy has to be given credit for consistently having bad takes on things.

“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get RAM.”

Oh, who could have guessed???

Good that they got their differences solved and the band can be finally laid to rest with no drama whatsoever. There’s a proper closure now. It’s however sad how they lost any momentum and chance for new material because of the onstage fight in Boston. Regardless, it’s interesting to see what kind of stuff Dave Navarro & co will put out without Perry Farrell.

Watching my country’s reputation go down the drain, nothing special. Oh, I also plan to mod my Switch’s Joy-Cons with SNES-style buttons and gray triggers. The Joy-Cons are neon blue and red, so they’ll become even more colorful.

Well, it wasn’t intended for kids but I watched it regardless, same with many other movies on my list.

Basically many movies from the 90s Disney Renaissance era:

• Hercules
• Aladdin
• Pocahontas
• Tarzan
• Mulan

And of course the Pixar movies from that era:

• Toy Story
• A Bug’s Life

James Bond flicks:

• GoldenEye
• Tomorrow Never Dies
• The World is Not Enough
• Die Another Day

Other movies:

• The Mask
• Home Alone 1 & 2
• Ace Ventura
• Spirited Away
• The first Pokemon movie
• The Matrix 1–3
• Kummeli Kultakuume
• Pahat Pojat
• Pitkä Kuuma Kesä
• South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
• Jurassic Park
• Jurassic Park: The Lost World

Note that several of these movies weren’t for kids, but I got to watch them regardless.

And this decision still holds. Sopuli will stay as a Lemmy instance, yes!

JD Vance also couldn’t absolutely stand Pokemon.

If I remember right, Mastodon and the Fediverse in general isn’t included in this ban. Therefore it’s interesting to see if Australian teens somehow find the Fediverse, starting a rush of new users.
