I wanted to be a nerd but I can’t even geek. I’m more of a dork.

Things have changed. Before, the worst Facebook could do to its critics was ban them and those that they knew. Now Facebook can have ICE turnover your house without a warrant for a troll post. A private company is now working to suppress a specific kind of conversation that questions the judgement and actions of those in power. It’s a subtle but very dangerous difference in why a bad EULA may not have previously caused concern but the new one is.

You need new friends

Or get blank buttons and re-map to the Nintendo config.

Authoritarians don’t care about what the hoi polloi think.

A cat. In line at the pet store for kitty litter and saw a literal pile of kittens near the check out. Turns out that the local shelter was having an adoption day and my partner found a black cat that immediately nuzzled into her shoulder and the little kitten motor purred so loud it sounded like snoring. They bonded in that moment and have been best friends for the last 14 years.

Right? That’s only one sunrise worth of playtime. Need to see the sun on the second day to know if it’s addictive.

The “why” doesn’t matter as much as how judicial precedent works. One company doing this will open the gates for many companies to start using each other for missing their products or breeching conduct. Nintendo using the justice department as their own goon squad to hunt down individual people for perceived infractions is alarming.

I’m from Australia and snowflakes during December is hemispherist and offensive to us down under.

This is games journalism, so expect the “sources” to be EA press releases and a conference call with Marketing.

Explain Steam being unsafe? It’s a marketplace. Developers make controversial content.

Oh no, we should warn people. What part is the scam?

Are you mad that parts of a game arent coded as a unified whole l? If those individual parts work, and they seem to be maintaining enough of a player base to continue funding the game, why are you actually mad? Are still trying to keep the meme of “Star Citizen Bad!” going when it is clear that the game doesn’t care what others think, the players don’t care, and no one is copying your sentiment?

That must be tough.

Probably. The bomb went off and there aren’t really any survivors buried in the rubble. That’s a random dog grabbed to make this seem more official - but since it’s so long after the incident that it looks like a bad, one person dog show.

I think they do jumping jacks at the train station before loading them onto cattle cars for the front.

Just use what Bell had before: a monopoly on virtually all communication to pay for crazy ideas and irregular output. Also, stomp out all competition so no one else can make any discoveries of their own. Can’t have rivals muddying the history of who invented what.

The response from SimpleX reads like a naive idea that just because there are Nazis here doesn’t make us Nazis.

The Wired article by David Gilbert focusing on neo-Nazis moving to SimpleX Chat following the Telegram’s changes in privacy policy is biased and misleading. By cherry-picking information from the report by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), Wired fails to mention that SimpleX network design prioritizes privacy in order to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and everyday users who value their privacy — many people feel safer using SimpleX than non-private apps, being protected from strangers contacting them.

Yes, privacy-focused SimpleX network offers encryption and anonymity — that’s the point. To paint this as problematic solely because of who may use such apps misses the broader, critical context.

Like, guy, the Nazis are using that idealistic vision of a shared private world and staining it with bigotry and hatred. If nothing is done, SimpleX is a Nazi network.

Some folks like bottom performers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

These last few months, each picture of Elon looks like another transition snapshot of Smeagol turning into Gollum.
