According to fedia.io, this is Floating Is Fun's 1000th post! We already got retrospective earlier this month, but again I appreciate everyone who has been a part of this five year journey from Reddit to Kbin to PieFed. We haven't run out of material yet!

I totally did this to my family when I was a kid and crazy for video games. Now I have a kid who does this to me. I completely deserve it.

It's about time I invest in sticker sheets for gas pumps.

Cancer sucks. I don't wish cancer on anybody...

...but karma's a bitch, ain't it? Also, don't let this stop us from prosecuting her for her crimes.

This article is saying other countries should repeal their equivalents to the DMCA's anti-curcumvention, just like Cory Doctorow says, and I agree too. The whole reason those counties passed DMCA-like laws was that we threatened to tariff them if they don't. Well, now we're tariffing them anyway. We're no longer holding up our end of the bargain, and neither should anyone else.

Pour sugar in the concrete mix.

The PC Gamer article's title also says "upgrade or". That's a heck of a detail to editorialize out of the title.

From the Mozilla post it cites:

After this, no security updates will be provided and you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a supported Microsoft Windows version.

Or, if your current hardware can't handle Windows 10 or higher for some reason, you can switch to a Linux-based operating system. The vast majority of Linux distributions come with Firefox as the default browser.

I agree switching to Linux is the better option. I want to try Bazzite.

What does this change? Before the election, the whole world already knew Trump raped children and 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. It was everywhere. There was no rock large enough that anyone could hide under it and not know that truth. They were OK with this.

I like how Wikipedia's main issue is that this list has grown too long to read comfortably:

Page issues

• It has been suggested that this article be split out into articles titled False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (first term), False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (between terms) and False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (second term). (Discuss) (October 2025)

• This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably.Consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding subheadings. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page.(September 2024)

Aw man, Learn to Float is already sold out!

Duolingo has AI slop lessons, but this widget isn't AI. They use weird eye-catching art like this all the time. It's that way by design.

Every Cabinet position is filled with the worst possible person for the job. This is done on purpose to make the government fail at all the things it should be doing. We knew this would happen, of course.

Take everything they say as examples of what not to do. Don't do what Donny Don't does.

The image is AI, of course, but it's irritating that I can't even find where it came from. Usually my image search tools help me track down a source. Someone just posted this AI slop without a care in the world, and the others sharing it without context are not helping.

Packard Bell Navigator. I really tried to make it work when I was a kid, but it was all style and not much function. I miss it, though. It was ambitious.

I found Bang Bang on Richard Pace's TeePublic store. That took me way longer than it should. It's been stolen multiple times already on other T-shirt shops.

ImgOps. Add imgops.com/ to any random image URL on the internet and get quick links to a bigger version, look it the source on SauceNAO, or search Google, Yandex, or TinEye. I always run art through ImgOps before posting here.

Hey now, cite your sources! This is Witch's Mount by Xiao Xinyu. You can find the original on Weibo and Facebook.

I still kick on the HTML5 port Webamp every now and then. It's a relic of a time when we tried to make apps look like their equivalent home electronics.

Oh, so that's why I can't find my own posts in Tesseract. I'm surprised they didn't block my whole community.
