Of the Air (cele/celes)

Yeah, sometimes they help to communicate with other players or the developers, seek out hints or bug reports, share cool things from the game or that you did in them, or talk to valve about features/bugs.

They would be a lot more useful if they were actually moderated but most game developers seem unable or unwilling to do it, and valve is the same, so what ends up happening is that it just becomes a breeding ground for fascism.

Part of the problem is the lack of tools/functionality. Lemmy doesn’t allow for hiding images without the NSFW tag. It could/should function a lot more like mastodon in some ways in our opinion, allowing both the user to hide all images in their settings and having more specific CWs that could hide even the post image behind.

Valve are irresponsible. Either it should moderate its forums or there shouldn’t be any. All the time we see fascist rhetoric about ‘DEI’ and ‘Woke’. We’ve reported some but they functionally are useless, so why have them?

Yeah, we’re a lemon, blackcurrent, orange and kumquat.

Life is Strange 1 & 2.

Wonderful! 🤩

We agree it’s bad that folks want us illegal or worse but on the other hand posts like this just cause panic without including the part about them likely not passing which feels irresponsible to us.

It is helpful to know something might happen but it’s also useful to know when it actually has or hasn’t happened too which these posts never do so people run around worrying over nothing material, just a fear which isn’t good for any{one/many}.

It is best in our opinion to know what exactly happened so we can all prepare appropriately, fearmongering and panic when nothing has actually happened yet helps no-one in our opinion.

Evil is a religious word, they likely aren’t inherently irredeemable but they have probably been conditioned to have certain beliefs about what they should and are allowed to say/think/do which they need to unlearn in order to not be harmful to others.

Luckily so far we have found no info on any official site that it applies to ESTAs, this might just be the german government being overcautious, which isn’t bad but might currently be incorrect.

There is evidence it applies to VISAs but not ESTAs so far.

To people who give unsolitcited opinions, not to any of the commenters here:

Sings If we haven’t asked for your opinion then we don’t want to know it. If we haven’t asked for your opinion then we don’t want to know it. If we haven’t asked for your opinion then we don’t want to know it. So fuck you!

Oh, the article even says it likely will not pass right at the top. Don’t worry yet folks. Y’all are safe, most of these will not pass.

Not yet, it lacks a lot of the features Signal has and does not even have a proper ipad ui yet, nor proper profile syncing between devices.

If it ever has these it might be useable by the masses, until then it’ll be only the interest of privacy nerds.

Though really the most important thing is its lack of audits and a transparency report like Signal has. How can we be sure that its encryption/other security is up to standards or they don’t hand over anything to cops/courts without these two things? These are what most messengers fail at, especially open source decentralised ones to be fair.

Yes.

Taking a libertarian meme/symbol and adding a trans flag to it doesn’t make it better.

It’s a bill. Make sure you do your due dilligence and keep us updated on whether it passes or not. Most do not.

We kind of agree with you. For example: Mother’s and Father’s day seem like obligations, especially for shitty parents.

If someone is a good parent, they do not need them. If they are not then it’s just a way to force your children to give you things, submit to your authority and make you feel good about your shitty parenting.

Is there an English source for the stuff about ESTAs and does this apply retroactively or only new ESTAs?

Also, how would they know?

Oh, that’s yucky. Thanks for the information, we haven’t used it since it got bought by Facebook.

Thank you!
