And “Chat Control” isn’t even the only thing like this in the pipeline. There’s the so-called “security by design” bullshit (which does the opposite of what then name implies) that’s actually even worse than Chat Control and has also been worked on in secret, and which’d include mass scale surveillance of not just photos but pretty much everything, and is much more likely to pass than Chat Control.

Yep, and as I pointed out in another comment in this thread, Chat Control isn’t the only piece of legislation like this that’s in the works.

Considering that the extreme right just won big, I have no doubt that one of these fascist surveillance packages will go through. Yeah, at first it may be used for catching criminals, until it isn’t

Doesn’t change who’s in charge now

Yep, no disagreement there. This sort of mass surveillance is a fucking terrible idea no matter who’s behind the wheel

I wish Russia would just get it over with and start lobbing those nukes around like they fucking keep promising to.

GIVE ME NUCLEAR HELLFIRE

That was my thought as well but I couldn’t find anything except this meme when I searched for the individual lines. Definitely has a very metal lyrics-y feel to it

I promise you, I do.

Nuclear hellfire and out-of-control AI are both on my bingo card

It never went away in the first place. A huge chunk of gAmErS are still incredibly toxic, basically just reich-wing edgelords who hate women and minorities.

I saw someone complain about all the “woke” things in Starfield recently. He (and I’m 100% sure this was a “he”) listed things like “unattractive females” and “accents”, and goddamn if that wasn’t a perfect example of what’s wrong with so many gamers. Naturally “pronouns” were also a problem for this chud, because even the possibility of choosing “they” as a pronoun is literal gamer genocide apparently

Even on Lemmy, which is generally full of exactly the sort of people gAmErS hate, gaming communities tend to be… well, gaming communities. At least this post hasn’t gotten downvoted into the negatives, but it’s got 50% as many downvotes as upvotes at the time I’m writing this. Sure, maybe some of those people have legitimate issues with the article, but I very much doubt it – it’s more likely they just saw “misogyny” in the title and downvoted without reading it.

Edit: are there any less, uh, gamery gaming communities around?

Damnit Martin I don’t think they meant it literally

That sort of reminds me of this:

This one is definitely my favorite so far. So ominous

Also valid for people who have IBS / IBD. Taking a shit that’s not a ≥45min ordeal that makes you feel like you want to die is definitely enjoyable

dactylotheca OP , 10 days ago

Ah, I like the way you think!

I can imagine the absolute fucking meltdown conservative chuds would have. It’d be glorious
