“I require privacy not to conceal some malice in my own actions; but to protect against the malice of those seeking to abuse that authority.”

That accounts for a good chunk of the blocks as well.

This is one of those one-bite-at-a-time projects - just hit a few on each visit, it adds up.

I hardly ever block individual posters, but communities, I’ve blocked 936 of them at the time of making this post. Sports, porn, anime, or furry shit are all block on sight. Plus a handful of randoms that I’m just not interested in.

I’ve finally got All where it’s pleasant to browse. Takes some doing, but worth the effort if you want to customize your feed reductively vs actively seeking out and subscribing to communities.

Starwars: Racer Revenge was by far my favorite racing game. Not to be confused with the much more popular N64 game “Episode 1 Racer” - the PS2 version was kind of an unofficial sequel that made a lot of improvements. Most notably the physics: the PS2 version actually feels like a pod being pulled by two separate engines, vs the N64 kinda felt like you were driving a car that just looked like a podracer. The physics especially shine if you play in 1st person and set the controls so the L joystick controls the left engine and R joystick controls the right - i.e. to turn left, you don’t just push the sticks to the left, you pull the left stick back and push the right stick forward so the right engine accelerates faster and the difference makes you turn. It’s super satisfying, if a bit more difficult.

Full disclosure: relying on my memory from shortly after its release in 2002, so I honestly have no idea if it’s actually as good as I remember, or if I’m just wearing the nostalgia goggles. Grain of salt.
