Do rich people misunderstand what we all want, because they are rich?

Blender DumbassRemember this situation: Mark Zuckerberg in court asked about his surveillance technology, tries desperately to make an argument that being spied on is good actually, because they can shove more personally relevant ads down people's throats. Like come on man... how do you want this to be a good argument? But you think about it and realize: he is fucking rich. He might actually have a huge issue with what to buy. For him a system that learns what he likes and suggests what to spend his money on, is a system that solves his problem.
Richard Stallman: Is it Neurodivergence, or just because he is Jewish?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/rabbistallman.png)
Blender DumbassRicardo Stallmansky ( Richard Stallman ) is a divisive figure. He is the face of probably one of the most important social movements in today's day and age ( the Free Software Movement ), but also a lot of people borderline hate him for some rather serious-sounding stuff. There were open letters attacking the man and communities in support of him. Those who hate him, usually claim he says things that are inappropriate for him to say. Those who support him usually claim that he is Neurodivergent and therefor doesn't quite understand what triggers people.
How I am fighting the WhatsApp monopoly
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/whatsapp_no.jpg)
Blender DumbassWhatsApp, fucking WhatsApp. The app that everybody uses without thinking twice, that makes no sense being used in places that I have seen it being used. Fucking police officers share police-work-related stuff via WhatsApp groups for the entire user-data department of Meta ( and their data-brokers ) to see. This has to stop! WhatsApp has to be defeated!
So I made a bridge.

TrolerWhy you should care about Dani's Race?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/whycareDR.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race is a pretty to look at, open-world game. Is this a good enough reason to care about it? No. It's not. There are plenty of good looking games out there. And Dani's Race is not even close to some of them. Dani's Race is a Libre "GTA Clone". Okay... so what? It's not the only one. And it is not even that GTA-like anyway. Yes, you can get in and out of cars. Yes, you have an open world. Yes, the levels are structured into missions. But so what? Why should you give a damn? What's so special about this game in particular? Well...
Let's start with a square.
Strongly Worded Rant about AI
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fuck_ai.png)
Blender DumbassArtificial Fucking Intelligence! The brain-rot born out of a different brain-rot, called "capitalism" causing literal brain-rot of a society. A thing so rotten and so utterly despicable that calling it "slop" is to give it a compliment.
The Structure of Dani's Race Codebase ( July 10th 2026 )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/dr_explained.png)
Blender DumbassThis is less of an article and more of an overview into how Dani's Race ( a game I'm developing ) works. Note, there is a date in the title of this article. Anything here is subject to change. But I don't think a lot of it will be that different in the end of the day.
Winning Dani's Race ScoreBoard on WINdows

TrolerI want to get the scoreboard working on Dani's race, but I'm using Winblows operating system. That means a lot of things are broken. That's because Dani's race was developed for the Tux operating system.
So Why The Hell this math NaNs out? Help me!

Blender DumbassWhy does ( 1 / ( D ( ( T - carD"prevT" 2 ) ) ) result in a NaN? What is going on?

Dani's Race and notgit.py ( Updater )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/notgit.png)
Blender DumbassNot so long ago I decided to forgo the wisdom of using
git for this game. Instead, most changes will be recorded via the notgit.py program I wrote for fun the other day.
Have I given up on Dani's Race?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/danisrace_fail.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race development has been halted. The last changes to the project I've done maybe more than 6 months ago. The game still contains a lot of bugs and only 3 story missions. And it still runs like ass, averaging 20 fps on average laptops.
The Character Arc and Drew DeVault
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/devault.png)
Blender DumbassIn movies and books one dimensional, boring sort of characters, are those that never change throughout the story. Good stories contain character growth. A change in the character's world view. Think of Jake Sully in Avatar: He starts as a marine, ready to shoot and kill every living thing on Pandora. And end up being the leader of Pandoran resistance.
On the internet people tend to think that other people are set in stone when it comes to their believes. That other people are one dimensional characters without character growth what so ever. If one is born with a flaw, or has a recorded history of a flaw, therefore, using the logic of the citizens of the internet, this flaw is unremovable, untouchable, and unchangeable truth representing this person's every second of existence. That is so silly. The world is full of character growth. The world is full of people learning new things. The world is full of people that change their mind.
Few Words of Hope
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/hope.jpg)
Blender DumbassWith today's seeming apocalypse it is easy to give up all hope, to feel hopeless. Age-Verification, Chat Control and other ( usually ageist ) attempts at attacking our freedom seem to be overwhelming at their might. And while it is true that they are terrible things and that they are bad for our freedom, still they are not the end of the world. There is still hope.
Using Talmudic Techniques To Understand Free Software
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/talmudic_free_software.jpg)
Blender DumbassIn the Wikipedia article about Talmud it says that:
It records the teachings, opinions and disagreements of thousands of rabbis and Torah scholars.
And if you know from books like Tanya which references the book of Nida on the first page, in the first paragraph, in the first sentence, you know that Talmud likes to link things Wikipedia style, and then argue those things, trying to find patterns.
What could be the pattern in linking a Wikipedia article and then talking about Wikipedia in an article about using Talmudic Techniques to understand Free Software?
