Why Haptic

We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

What Makes Haptic Special

1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.

Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!

Big “we’re definitely working toward communism” energy, right there /s

Okay, you gotta share the image files and how you applied the custom logo to your coreboot config.

Why are you being so obtuse? Yes, the repercussions for losing to Nintendo in court are life-ruining. I said that already.

However, continuing to let Nintendo DMCA legitimate emulation projects isn’t good in the long-term either and only stalls progress for the targeted projects.

The only way to “win” this fight is to win in court. I’m not saying that any dev should be compelled against their will to do so. It’s just the only way to actually make progress. This isn’t a technical problem; it’s a legal one.

Gamers are only capable of remembering these things right up until the next first-party exclusive and new console gets announced. Then, it’s right back to opening their wallets for these fuckers.

The only way to truly win this fight is for the devs to face potentially life-ruining circumstances to fight it in court. Until then, Nintendo will continue harassing devs and killing the development progress of emulators.

Fair enough. FWIW, I disagree with the mis-characterized “context” you provided, but I’m uninterested in debating that.

I just don’t want videos where marginalized people are talking about issues that affect them to be removed, so that’s why I focused on that aspect.

I mean, if we’re digging out problematic things from peoples past, even ContraPoints used to semi-frequently make appearances in Nazi fetish gear in her videos, so I don’t think that’s a useful metric. I say that as a fan of ContraPoints, and creators of varying problematic pasts. It sucks, but given that most left-leaning content creators have put in effort to distance from those kinds of problematic behaviors, I wouldn’t want someone to remove their otherwise helpful videos, or to take away from any advocacy they may do.

Vaush has had land back advocates on stream to speak on the issue themselves, so i have a hard time believing that he has miscategorized land back. I think it’d be equally ridiculous to remove those videos that discuss progressive advocacy/radical movements, simply because someone that people consider to be contentious is involved.

I’m entirely uninterested in debating the merits of internet content creators. Most of them, to some degree, have done highly problematic things, but digging up trash from their past (especially when they have changed course) is usually a useless, parasocial distraction. You can not like a content creator without letting your parasocial disdain distract from the good they are doing, like when they are bringing on people to speak about issues that affect marginalized people.

I haven’t seen either other those things from Vaush or his community (taking into account that every large following will have some people that are bad), and I think if the other progressive people that made it out there to canvass for a progressive candidate saw it fit to make an appearance with him, I would sooner trust their judgment than other people on the internet.

But parasocial issues aside: it’s valuable to have trans voices out there. There aren’t enough as it is, and there are even fewer speaking about what NN is. Removing videos like this would feel like a big step backwards, in my opinion.

Thank you for being transparent.

The context for this clip in particular is that many left-leaning creators are canvassing for the reelection of Jamal Bowman, a member of the squad, and this interview covers an interesting topic that is hardly ever given a spotlight, so I think it makes sense to keep it.

I had only vaguely known of NominalNaomi and the reactionary backlash that she got for breastfeeding her child, and I think it’s nice that she’s talking about it. In my opinion, removing the video would only serve to keep the topic as a taboo.

Reporting back:

I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.

I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.

I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.

It’s corn starch. The ancient wonder suffers more defacement in the form of erosion because it rains every 4 seconds in the UK. Stonehenge will be perfectly okay.

Protests will always incite rage. The question is “is it justified?”. In this case, sure, but your unhinged comment that started this thread is just reactionary drivel.

I’ve read the other replies to my comment, but yours is the only counter that I mostly agree with.

Yes, going after an oil plant would certainly be a much more radical form of protest. The main issue is that targeting something like that carries massive risk and is unfathomably challenging. That isn’t to say they shouldn’t do it though.

My comment was more a response to some of the general negative sentiment that I see in response to other protests that are disruptive. It’s usually reactionary claims of “you’re making people mad, so it’s counterproductive”, while ignoring the fact that nothing else has worked.

This is just me being pedantic, but I keep seeing this mistake when UTM is mentioned (specifically in headlines), so I feel like I have to say something:

UTM is not an emulator. It is virtual machine software that uses an emulator (QEMU) to virtualize operating systems.

The difference: emulators emulate hardware. On which, the virtualized operating systems run.

“Protests must be polite and not ruffle any feathers” is what I’m hearing.

Sorry. But as climate change gets worse and corporations continue to annihilate the living beings on this planet while governments uphold their ability to do so, the protests will only become more radical. We’re long past the point of polite protests, and they didn’t work.

But it’s easier to whinge like a reactionary at the people demanding an end to the systematic breeding into existence of animals for the sole purpose of exploiting and killing when ending that unfathomably cruel system gives me the ickies 😭

Actually, it’s quite surprising and disappointing how most leftists (or ostensibly left-leaning people) correctly shape their political views around being anti-exploitation and pro-liberation, only to immediately become reactionaries when it comes to ending animal exploitation.

Mad TV was like SNL, but funny.
