that sounds great. I think we've talked about it before.

How do I find the show?

in reply to Andrew (Television Executive)

They have many (the last 15?) of the full episodes on archive.org. Dr. Hal answered a question from me during the last one.

I just wrote a news update post on reddit sharing what is new in the world of #GOG and #EpicGames for the world of #Linux on the #SteamDeck. Even a little #gaming news in general there.

I shared this in the #JunkStore sub-reddit. Junk Store has become my fav plugin to play Epic and GOG games - for me it 'just works'

Give it a read if you're at all interested!

I agree with this thread for the most part. Except for one important thing. We really have to stop convincing ourselves that the only alternative to extractive capitalism is people overworking for free and burning out. It's not better. In fact it's worse in *almost* every way. This approach might push back against extractive capitalism. But for the people who are actually burdened, it makes their real lives under capitalism worse.
