woah! the innovation!

now you say it, maybe it’s my clicker games that make Valve think i’d like to buy a game where the point seems to be that the number in the title goes up by one every year

that reminds me a bit of the Polish incident with liberum veto. in theory a good thing - those who could vote all had an equal voice to stop any Sejm gathering they wanted. but the obvious thing happened obviously - lower ranking nobles were getting bribed by domestic and foreign forces alike to veto new legislations seconds before they got signed, wasting days if not weeks of work, and basically stopping Polish politics in place. Poland only got our shit together too little and too late, in 1791 we got our constitution that finally removed liberum veto, but the damage was done, two years later the Second Partition happened

and then Tor so high up, unless you’re hell bent on leaving 0 traces that thing is a pain to use, can’t have it maximalised, pages load sometimes minutes at a time, no addons, just suffering. nobody sane uses that thing for more than the occasional trip to whatever deep web market is not yet exit scamming

i don’t think valve does much with the data even internally. if they did at least the game recommending queue would be slightly accurate. instead i have to manually blacklist tags for it to stop showing me things i’m just deeply uninterested in. like yes Mr. Valve my steam library of RPGs, puzzle games, and open world sandboxes clearly profiles me as someone who’d be interested in the newest Fifa game every year, sure buddy

yeah democracy as it is most common today has its issues, sadly, and propaganda is easier to spread than ever. and the soviet system of rotating positions also ensured people that were easy to control because they were new to the job. i do wonder if there is any system that could work for us humans

i hope you stay safe in Russia, you sound highly aware of the motions in politics, and as you surely know the intelligence is often targeted first when a dictator wants to dictate without being questioned

even though it made me a little depressed - thank you for the explanation, this really sucks no matter how you look at it doesn’t it, ehhh

i genuinely cannot see how this improves anything. if they want to keep them kids in the dark about sexual stuff - how is pushing them to be exposed to most likely hardcore bdsm on the front page assuring that?

the researchers said all AI posts were approved by a human before posting, it was their choice how many lies to include

But overall, enforcement causes nearly half of users to stop searching for popular adult sites complying with laws and instead search for a noncompliant rival (48 percent) or virtual private network (VPN) services (34 percent), which are used to mask a location and circumvent age checks on preferred sites, the study found.

what a fucking surprise. now the teens only watch porn that is already skirting around laws just by virtue of existing. truly nobody could’ve ever imagined this would happen

jesus christ i’m so tired of stupid politicians

android does it well, if you want “developer” mode that let’s you have better control over your system you have to do some funny IT rituals you can only access by 1. knowing they exist 2. googling how to do it

Oh, that’s all you had? Alright. Well then, to wrap it up - you disgust me.

even wrote it “correctly” for you, so you have no trouble reading

nah i’m good, i’m not taking advice from people who first insult me, and then pretend to be above it all. i respect those who respect me, and you’re not counted among those. your false niceties and arrogance are vile, and disgust me more than the outward hate of trolls, who as annoying as they are, at least wear their malice with pride

buddy, if you wanted a proper discussion maybe you shouldn’t have insulted me in every reply. at this point i’m replying for my personal amusement. you’re an ass who thinks themself better than others, a pedantic dickhead who thinks that if something doesn’t make sense to you then clearly it means the other person’s logic is flawed and they are stupid, and why ask for clarification if you can just call them an idiot?

why am i even wasting my time on talking to a common asshole, anyway bye

it’s literally a skill issue if lack of capitalisation and imperfect punctuation is something that noticeably slows down the speed at which you process information

but i don’t, so your insults are quite frankly only indicative of your personality i’m afraid. jeez, get your head out of your ass

💀 i care to be understood, and since we’re talking that’s clearly not an issue. i do not care if you like how i type. you can dislike things for no reason it’s fine, it’s not criminal to simply not like something, like how i dislike how you’re being rude to me right now

why are you insulting me over your dislike of how i choose to write words and form sentences? how is my logic at fault when i don’t capitalise “i” or use a comma instead of a full stop? i don’t lack the ability to write “properly”, this is a style i chose because i like it, because it’s the closest to how my thoughts flow and to me it’s aesthetically pleasing

that’s how my thoughts sound, that’s how i like my writing to look, i don’t care if not everyone likes that, you’re allowed to not like things

i don’t have autocorrect on, i also don’t subscribe to the idea that there is a “correct” way to speak or write, languages are tools used for communication, if you can understand me without effort then i used the tool successfully

i do capitalise things when it matters, for various reasons; to make a sentence easier to read, to show respect, to avoid a word being confused for a typo. but overall i just like the look of small letters better

but then i’d need to swipe to flip the page on both of them, that’s like, effort

hey there’s also some of us who buy books we will definitely read eventually and they just keep stacking up, gotta put them somewhere
