  • I think that sort of stuff was in there to make it clear that he is still very much learning. He did get quite a few things correct, I think the only things that led him off was the silly “rata el rada is penguin” thing and not figuring out the carpeting tool.

    But I do agree, they could have maybe toned down some of the silly mistakes a bit. The rat with wings was completely stupid thing to make him miss it. Bats are widely known as rats with wings, penguins are not at all lol.






  • I’ve been hanging out in a self hosted IRC network, we get like 2-5 new people per month coming in and almost all of them say similar things. Either they are returning to IRC after a 15-20 year absence because they got fed up with the current state of discord, facebook, reddit, whatever. Or, they heard about IRC from a friend or a youtube video and got interested because they got fed up with the current state of discord, facebook, reddit, whatever.

    I think its a mix of nostalgia and seeking refuge from the bullshit that is the modern internet.

    (If anyone is interested in the network I mentioned, check https://inthemansion.com/ the website has all the info you need and also a webchat, if you don’t want commit to a IRC client just yet, or have problems setting one up, we are happy to answer to any questions.)










  • Their immature screeching made me switch back to Firefox after many years.

    Can you elaborate on this a bit? I’ve been using Librewolf for a while now and while I understand they take a sort of hardcore stance on the privacy stuff and its at times a bit annoying, I haven’t had any major issues with actually using it. Though I did download Waterfox recently and have been meaning to give it a go, seems a bit more chill.

    Anyway, I’m unaware of any “immature screeching” (mainly because of my own ignorance, not disputing that this hasn’t happened, just looking for more information), could you expand on that?
