I'm writing the text by hand, so the translation is below.

T: You've such a stupid face. I send my condolences to the creature that'll inherit it. Because it is really stupid, listen, it should be prohibited by law, it lowers the IQ of the whole server, why did they declare me a war criminal for such a TRIVIAL terrorist action, but not you, it's so unfair. Our society is so unfair it's disgusting.

D: You know it's a mask, right?

> Windows 95 has a 3D screensaver that plays a first-person animation of navigating a brick maze.

> What's important about this screensaver is that it is not an animation, but rather a fully computer-operated 3D game, complete with control mapping that was just never used.

> What you watch is actually live gameplay footage of your computer; it's not pre-recorded.

> AKA, the programmers gave their computers something to do in-between user sessions so it wouldn't get bored. Also, the idea of hanging out with your computer while it plays its own little flash games?? Adorable. 10/10

There is a graphic tablet for blind and visually impaired people?!?!!!

So, basically dotpad is a tablet with a screen made of physical dots (i'll call them beads for easier writing from here), and it can be connected to a device like an ipad (appparently). It then loads whatever picture is shown and converts it into black and white and THEN it displays the image by lifting some of the beads while the others stay down.

ID: The image shows a black electronic device with a tactile display on top, then a row of buttons and a Braille line on the bottom. /End ID

This is amazing? And so simple? Yet I would have never thought of it as a concept. And I have never heard of it? And there's ony limited information out there, like, i couldn't even find it on my usual online stores?

Can we please spread those news? Please?

I don't know who is interested in hearing this, but since Microsoft is dropping support from windows 10 this year in October it will mean many are forced to move on and many have their issues with windows 11 due to reportedly a lot of bloat and an AI assistant no one is really hyped for and i am one of the people that did not look forward into updating to windows 11, because i don't know. I'm not a fan of the taskbar in the middle and a lot of what i've heard is not amazing

So i tried something new and i switched to Linux (i dualboot it actually), and i've been running it for about a week now? It's so nice because this distribution was so easy to set up and it's very minimal i cannot lie. Aside from a few hiccups getting it running, this operating system has been a dream to use at the moment. I don't even know if this is the "right place" to rant about operating systems but i just had to share :)

Today is the day we never use the Google search engine ever again. Duck Duck Go, Firefox, Ecosia - there are a lot of other choices. Start cutting cords and shift to AskJeeves. What? Ask.com closed up shop on May 1st, 2026? Heresy. Duck Duck Go it is.
