I feel like the hardest part of the GPL3 anti-tivoization clause to explain these days is what “TiVo” is
That's not very GPL of you #lfnw2026

I love trying to run old VM's. Because they do not give a solitary FUCK about HiDPI scaling

Windows XP is unusably tiny because it's 640x480 at 100% scaling on a 13" screen

Some rando subscribed to my Patreon and DM'd me begging to set him up a Google Search Appliance for...some reason??? Somehow it was beyond him despite me making a literal YouTube video on it

After ignoring his pleading DM's he turned around and requested a fucking *refund* on Patreon

Mostly this is kind of offensive because the motherfucker subscribed to "Shaun please don't be homeless" and then tried to rug-pull $20 back

Nerd sniped one of the FurryTel folks with some RuneScape circa 2004 #lfnw2026
