- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 6 days ago:
This is so much bigger than the secondary resale market, which is a small added bonus for them
The move from physical media; the price of computer components rising beyond reasonable levels; the locking down of hardware; the locking down of software distribution methods; the inevitability of de-anonymizing all Internet users…
The capitalist class has had enough of your criticism. We discovered their little criminal playground that preyed on children, we discovered how they hide their wealth without contributing back to society, we even discovered how government programs meant to “keep us safe” are used to exploit everyone on earth.
You think Sony ending physical discs is about video games? Brother it’s about the mind prison they’re designing to keep you in line while they fuck preteens on yachts until this whole planet burns to the ground
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 6 days ago:
Most discs still contain the full game, most physical releases contain discs of the full game
Some physical releases are just an empty case with a code. Some Nintendo Switch cartridges are just license dongles for the game download.
You’ve never owned a game. You’ve only ever licensed a game. This is true for all software. Removing the physical medium of distribution just allows the copyright cartel the control it has always wanted over something you paid for. But they have been hoodwinking consumers over what “purchase” and “buy” and “own” mean. Technically speaking, any game company could send you a C&D and tell you to stop playing their game forever, your license is revoked, and if you ever played it again they could sue for damages. Doubtful they would, as I doubt it would be worth their time; but this does mean they have the right to just decide their work is no longer available and vanish all digital copies; and they could also make all physical discs stop working through system software updates.

(This is not about anything in this thread that I’ve read specifically, just something I’ve experienced myself)
It’s also really annoying when you point this out and someone comes to champion the good name of all the other queer folk, as if you meant to imply that a person’s queerness, rather than their internal powerstruggle to remain closeted, was the reason for whatever slight they’re performing against the community.
It’s like, no, did you even read what was written? It’s such a weak argument and thought-terminating cliche, and it denies that part of the human condition is that one can try to suppress a part of themselves so ferociously that they externalize it onto everyone else.

To be fair, that looks like a shitty photoshop job to make sure they all had tats. AI wouldnt have perfectly replicated the same tatoos on two different arms.
This is probably a bad ‘shop, not AI.

It all makes sense when you realize that AI isn’t the product, control is.
When everyone depends on cloud services, especially storage, because they can’t afford hard drives or RAM anymore. Do you think the average normie is going to “stand up for principles of privacy and freedom of computing” or are they gonna say “it is what it is” and buy a tablet with 8GB of RAM and an office suite in the cloud?
Do you think these companies are above scanning everyone’s stuff to find out who is against them? Who is developing some great new idea? Who dissents the government?
Do you think these companies are above editing all saved copies of a news article and replacing it with something AI generated that looks real enough to memory hole something? (Copies of things in the cloud are already de-duplicated)
They don’t want us to be able to point out their flaws anymore. They want us to be submissive to them.

Someone made a c/linuxsucks somewhere but they banned a shitload of people and then stopped posting so I dunno
They did memes like “imagine using a shitty package manger and having to do all that work when you could just click update and be done”
And I’m not sure if that’s meant to be trolling or tryharding TBH
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 4 weeks ago:
He did not shock his dog, but there is a clip where he reaches off screen and then the dog, who was moving at the time, yelps.
Circumstantial evidence at best, but of course the haters RAN with it. No one wants the anti-gambling, anti-zionist, anti-capitalist streamer to be popular. It’s incredible the bullshit they spread about this guy.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 4 weeks ago:
Or rather, he’s bringing attention to the protests using his star power that they wouldn’t otherwise get.
Also, didn’t most or all of the socialist-leaning anti-Zionist candidates he campaigned with win their primaries?
If you have a platform, use it. Dude’s meeting people where they are, not sure how that’s for “clout” now that real change is being made. Why do you think Fox News is constantly up his ass now?

Yeah a lot of people in the USA thought we’d still had a chance to come back after 9/11, even if the before-times where also a farce.

See, this is the issue. Someone doesn’t absolutely obliterate China and the .world liberals all wake up and spout their state department talking points. “China BAD! Leftists tankies!”
What about any of that was untrue? Where’s the tankie part? Cite examples.
