    When the system enables a culture of self-serving sociopaths, kindness is counter-culture. In a capitalistic system where sociopaths are rewarded, kindness is an act of rebellion.

    Here are signs of sociopathy:

    • Strong disregard for social norms, laws or rules at home, at work, in school and other public places
    • Violating the rights of others
    • Minimizing others’ feelings and how they affect other people
    • Chronic manipulation, gaslighting, denial and deceit
    • Difficulty forming healthy relationships
    • Callousness and lack of remorse
    • Acting impulsively without concern for consequences
    • Attempting to gain power and control through aggression
    • A tendency toward petty crime, physical violence or fighting
    • Substance misuse

    These are characteristics that I’ve identified, in part or in full, in capitalists and conservatives who support that system.

    Kindness is punk. Being kind is anti-establishment. When the establishment are just a bunch of vile, evil, self-serving assholes, being kind is the best way to rebel. Through kindness we build community. Through community, we build strength. And with strength we will defeat the that evil.

    Rebel! Be punk! Be kind!

    Personally, doing random acts of kindness every day is how I can still feel human.







  • Yeah, I thin the first Switch will be the last console I’ll ever own. Except for big IP titles, most games are available on PC as well. And are often better, with more effects and higher refresh rates. And with devices like the Lenovo Legion Go, they blow even the Switch 2 out of the water. And you also control the software on it. They can’t be bricked by the manufacturer for modifying the software either. And you can use any other controller you want.

    Nintendo is in big trouble.












  • It’s mainly a developer tool based on Git, a version control system. You know how to can go back to a previous version of a document in Google Docs for example? It’s kinda like that, but more powerful.

    Github adds a whole layer around Git with issue tracking and other project management tools, as well as automation tools to name a few.

    It’s mostly used to track progress and change history of source code. So when you clone a Github repo to your local machine, you essentially get a copy of the files and their entire change history along with it.

    So yes, you might need to compile the source code, depending on the programming language used.
