Bilb!

Time to bring back the webring and every site having a “links” section.

The views halved, the likes stayed the same. So the ratio of likes to views is now higher.

This makes no sense at all. Were you drunk when you posted this?

Illegal content is already illegal.

I think it actually is more complicated. There are anti obscenity laws in the United States where these companies (Steam and Itch.io, but also Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal) are based. The way those laws have been applied have been mostly permissive in the recent past, but I think there’s reason to believe that this could change quickly. We may find ourselves in a situation where the highest court decides that this has all been illegal this whole time. Procedural and legal norms are feeling a bit shaky these days. People wonder why payment processors would bend over backwards on behalf of some group of aussie weirdos, but maybe being on their good side isn’t the concern. Maybe it’s that they’re trying to self regulate to get ahead of any government action. Collective Shout may just be highlighting to them the most risky instances, making it so that they have no plausible deniability with regards to the content they are processing payments for.

Aircraft carriers don’t let me travel to my destinations

Not develop their own hardware, but contract an established manufacturer to do it for them. Which is good, they have no business doing hardware!

And/or Intel. (I can dream, right?) Hell, perform a miracle Moore Threads!

That’s about 1 standard stint in rehab where I’m from

Its a vexingly pedantic point.

Its what made me buy a pixel phone.

A Pretty Big Company? I think they are beyond that classification.

Clair Obscur is running more smoothly for me on Linux than Windows. That doesn’t always happen, but it’s always satisfying when it does.

I like my Epson perfection scanner, it let’s me scan my photographic film. That’s kinda the opposite of a printer though.

I bet I could. 😎

But when a CEO gets murdered, the Tankies come out en masse to tell us that shooting and killing a father of 2 is actually heroism or something.

This is just delusional. It is by no means only “tankies.” The American public by and large hates and is constantly humiliated by the health insurance industry.

And being a parent has no bearing on it whatsoever. That’s just you trying (and failing) to be emotionally manipulative.

It’s interesting what begins to happen when the political remedies are deemed hopeless.
