The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

April Fool's

Both a reminder for people to not fall for dumb jokes, and letting y'all know I am not going to do anything for it surrounding Pale Moon this year. We're already living in a joke at the moment so let that be the big April Fool's joke of 2025.

Politically, I agree with this 1000%.

We are living in a joke... a bad one.

My main gripe is that timezones make April Fool last close to two days and it's not funny.
It's almost "no internet day" for me (I still check some news and a few "known good" places, so I'm not fully offline).

Yeah it's the problem - when it's no longer funny because it seriously impedes what you want/need to do, it just misses the mark.
