- Comment on Starsector, one of the best space RPGs that's not on Steam had a huge update 2 weeks ago:
I really want to play this but the last time I went to their purchase site I was afraid I was downloading malware and backed out.
I really should give it another go.

I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.

The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory…

Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I’d join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.

I use to spend so much time on there as a kid. I had a flashback as soon as I saw that avatar.

I mean… he won that one. I’d congratulate him on a well played feint as I died from lack of care.
- Comment on Justice Jackson ripped for worrying about the First Amendment 'hamstringing' government: 'Literally the point' 1 year ago:
I’ll probably regret this but…
There is a difference between “please delist things telling people to drink bleach to cure covid” and “remove this negative story of the government or else”
This kind of harkens back to the idea of shouting fire in a crowded theater. Misinformation, specifically about pandemics, or alluding threats against officials, can lead to a much larger issue.
Even Kavanaugh states that it is not uncommon for these requests to be denied by social media companies.
This does not cross into first amendment issues because the government is protesting the spread of misinformation, threats, or government secrets, but can very rarely compel something.
In your post, you mentioned Meta. Meta choosing to accept the government concerns is acceptable as Meta is a corporation enacting its own will. In particular, Meta chose to help stop the spread of misinformation in order to benefit society. Which sounds really wierd to say about Meta. It’s the bare minimum, but still.
If you told Meta they aren’t allowed to stop the spread of misinformation, you’d be then restricting the ability of a corporation to stop the spread of things such as hate speech, calls for violence, etc. Which a corporation could then be found liable for.
Meta as a corporation, has chosen to moderate that information, and users have agreed to that moderation when they chose to use Meta’s platform.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 1 year ago:
Not necessarily true. Sometimes a corporation is willing to continue with a bad choice in order to achieve some strange goal. Just look at Facebook absolutely going all in on Meta or Disney going ham on strange starwars choices.

I get specifically pissed at all the AI generated answers.
