  • Thank you. I mainly wanted to know what the talking points are so I can have effective conversations with the people around. This one semi popped out of nowhere for me and I felt I missed something.

    Agreed, the term “feminist propaganda” alone here is enough to make me question the studio/publisher leadership group.

    @Chee_Koala, I’ve read your other comment on this post and I agree with you. Going to pass on the game. It’s the reality of today. If we want things to improve we have to vote with our democratic right to vote if we have it or we vote with our money. This type of topic pops up a lot in media, big tech and most other large companies that somewhat dominate an industry. There are enough options out there where we can’t always make the perfect moral decision, but we can at least try to choose on the lesser of many evils in our shopping and media consumption based on the information we have.





  • I don’t want to stream on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick. My audience is my group of close friends on discord. I’d rather not use the big platforms for multiple reasons. The main one being these platforms see everyone as numbers and have moved away from pretending to be customer focused and are all bottom line focused to a fault now.

    So owncast. Quick webhook call to the discord servers announcing the stream started and people can watch me fail on League of Legends.

    Side note, realize I said big platforms and discord is still in use. Moving friends off of discord is its own challenge. But I’ve been working on that.


  • 1Password has impressed me. I’ve used KeePassXC, LastPass, Bitwarden (but not extensively and one of the early versions), and even CyberArk (🤮).

    1Password is closed source but it’s one of those pieces of software that just works the way you expect it to. Hard to confirm a lot of their security claims. Just rolling with “Have not heard a lot about 1Password breaches” mentality.

    We got lucky at work and used it to replace an unmanageable long list of KeePass database files that were sprawling everywhere. With that everyone who uses 1Password at work gets an associate private family account. Made managing my kids passwords and share some of our common family passwords way easier and I still get to lock them out of my passwords I don’t want them using.

    I believe modern Bitwarden for enterprise has a similar licensing sweetener with a private family account for each corporate account.


  • Honest question as I’ve been pondering this (and not my orb 😞) recently and I’m not sure if my reasoning makes sense.

    You mentioned day-traders making option plays. I can see how that could be used as a signal by the rest of the stock market. Does that have a bigger impact than, for a lack of a better term, mega investors? I’m not a huge investor. My holdings are primarily in ETFs. But I have some money in my portfolio to play around with.

    To me it seems like my stocks are affected more by what berkshire hathaway does for example than actual consumer/investor sentiment. To the point where I’m wondering if unless we band together, like GME, we are primarily along for the ride. All while massive firms, insurance companies, tech companies and other large holdings managed by small number of individuals impact stock price a lot more and with that don’t have an insensitive to sell holdings they bet big on.
