Thiel’s worse, he just hasn’t made a celebrity of himself

Yup, but it only matters if you have the means to argue it in court.

Yes, thay’s totally what’s going on here. I shudder whenever I need to use the restroom, because I can’t bear the thought of catching a glimpse of my own genitals. Every morning shower is a panic attack. Intimate moments with my wife are a traumatic blur of shame and disgust.

Or maybe, just fucking maybe, there’s a massive goddamn difference between plain nudity and sexualized content and twitch has already shown many many times that it can’t be trusted to moderate that distinction.

Fucking hell this is exhausting. There’s incredibly few people opposed to this due to puritanical concepts of “dear god not a female nipple!”, and a shit ton of people tired of the constant forward march of increasing sexualization of everything. Y’all need to stop fighting imaginary enemies.

If you want to jerk it to something there is more porn available for free online than anyone could consume in a lifetime.

Thank you for self selecting out of the discussion, although I don’t understand your need to broadcast it.

Legitimately confused here. Did you think making this comment would make you look cool, get you upvotes or something?

Adds nothing to the conversation unless you’re willing to expand on why that phrase affected you the way it did.

Fuck it. Lets throw some sass. Did it hit too close to home, or do you just assume there’s enough people who have the same views as you that they’ll understand your vague as hell attempt to throw shade?

There’s a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I’m exhausted by people like you pretending there isn’t and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.

It’s some disingenuous bullshit that I’m having a harder time believing isn’t intentional muddying of the waters by coom brained porn addicts the more I hear it repeated.

If you think that plain nudity made twitch rescind this, or that the majority of people against this shit are against nudity itself, you’re sorely mistaken. I’m tired of sexualized content fucking everywhere, especially on video sites like youtube and Twitch that have content that targets children (most game streams and video content) right the hell next to people doing bikini jumping jacks in the shower.

Porn exists. I enjoy it. I don’t need the lines blurred between it and other content by people out to make a quick buck off the pathetic people being tricked into paying for it by parasocial grifting.

Context matters, and Twitch already had a glut of streamers using it purely as an on ramp to their OnlyFans and other paypig sites before this harebrained shit.

Thank you for acknowledging this. So many people grossly oversimplify objections to this into some sort of prudish anti-nudity thing. That’s not it, they’re arguing against strawmen.

I have an issue with the ongoing sexualization of content available to children, and I have precisely negative faith in Twitch’s ability to properly discriminate between “artistic” and not.

And that people will hopefully riot about paid mods again. The Skyrim framework flew under the radar because of clever timing. There’s no way it goes un-noticed on their newest flagship game.

Didn’t he also say in an interview post-launch that they still hadn’t nailed down a fun core gameplay loop until a few months before it shipped?

C’mon Todd, what are you doing?

While I personally haven’t downvoted it, I did have a nice eye roll at it.

Nothing stated is false, but there’s a massive gulf between contempt and euthanization. Both are wrong, but one involves stuff like murder and forced sterilization. The other may involve terrible treatment if the bigot is given the opportunity. Scale/magnitude is important.

As a personal thing, whenever people start tossing around nazi and fascism I find it a bit harder to take their statements seriously. The terms are becoming significantly less impactful through modern overuse. Nazis and fascists absolutely still exist, but it feels as though the terms are becoming shorthand catch-all labels for general reprehensible behavior/beliefs for people too lazy to explain further or to use more specific terminology. Not saying that’s ocurring here, but in general.

Like are we talking about people who believe that all the world’s issues are caused by meddling and scheming of the genetically inferior and rule of the world is the birthright of some genetically pure ubermenschs, or is it somebody unable to handle a blind character in a TTRPG? Someone going to a protest to shoot people, or some couch potato who has stewed too long with right wing media? All are bad, but it’s a matter of scale which is significant.

Much like how issues of unconcious biases or microaggressions should probably be solved with attempts at education rather than shouting someone down like they’re calling for eugenics. There has to be a better solution than just dismissing large swaths of people for the wrong beliefs, or in a lot of online discourse, calling for physical violence against them.

That’s not happening here, but I’ve seen so much of it that it shades how I interact with online discourse.

tell them why you blocked them.

Meh. Life’s too short. Probably better to just block and move on.

On the other hand, since Lemmy is made up of a much smaller userbase, I’ve had a lot of success with just blocking users. When it’s one user with 100 comments, it’s a lot easier to solve the issue with the tools available to you as a user than on Reddit where you’re more likely to have 100 different people making 1-3 comments each spouting blind rhetoric/useless exaggeration/unfunny meme responses. It’s not big enough for people to bother too much with alt accounts or brigading yet either.

I do my best to stay away from posts with topics likely to attract that sort of crowd too.

In general while it’s not as good as I hoped for, I find Lemmy/fediverse a hell of a lot better than what I left. People are going to be assholes wherever they think they can get away with it, and the best response is to starve them of attention.

“Our robots will cost less than half of minimum wage per hour to run! But don’t worry, we definitely won’t continue optimizing our profits.”

And there’s already a bunch of good alternative clients available. I like Droid-ify because it has support for using Shizuku for unattended auto updates when I’m on my home Wi-Fi.

If you’re into Bethesda games and modding them, nearly all of them have “immersive HUD” mods that only show HUD elements when it’s relevant.

If enough of an industry takes the same customer hostile action at once, customers effectively have no option but to accept it, allowing industries to move the needle on what is considered acceptable through coordinated action.

On paper they’re competitiors, but when there’s an option that benefits the profits of all of them they don’t hesitate to “enrich” themselves and coordinate.

I do this shit for a living. Unless you were actively doing file moves then explorer crashing didn’t cause the data loss.

You really need to do a health check on your drive(s), and you can install Teracopy for faster file move operations that aren’t reliant on explorer staying up.

Or you can wait for the inevitable workaround to make Win 10 pull updates from the extended support channel for free.

There’s no reason for anyone but the non-tech savvy to care about this. Just like every time before it’ll be a simple registry tweak to make Windows Update pull from the extended support channel.

Now there’s an alternative if you want to do it officially or aren’t as tech savvy. Don’t see this as anything but a win, despite the way the article is framing it.

This is absolutely nothing new, and the workaround is usually just a small registry tweak so Windows Update pulls from the extended support patches “channel”. Same thing happened with Vista, 7, and 8.

Alternatively there are ways to download from the Windows Update servers using plenty of third party tools. It’s a neccessity if you’re going to streamline patches into your install media to save the post install mess of waiting for it to download and install all the updates that have come out since they first made the install .iso

Every time this has occurred before, there’s been a very easy registry tweak to make Windows Update pull these “paid extended support” patches for free.
