with matter devices, you can possibly do some fun networking, and block them from reaching the outside world completely. then you just need to trust your firewall

Im gonna need some concept art first. for research puposes

shoutout to USAA banking app that detected my root, but just showed a warning and allowed me to continue. that’s how it ahould be imho

one of my absolute favs. it’s a co-op where one player is randomly, secretly a cylon, sabotaging the groups efforts.

you can toss people in the brig. theyll protest “Im not the cylon!!!” and if youre wrong (youre often wrong), the group suffers by losing the jailed character’s special ability, while trying to fight off an attack until managing to jump.

best part? half way through, you draw new loyalty cards. sleeper cylon activated!!!

its genuinely hard not to run out of food, or water, or just get overrun by a boarding party. some of the best fun losing Ive ever had

Nothing I ever do is a failure, it’s just some shit I did.

amazing. I’m stealing this

I like the way the author describes the intentions of the bill at face value (protecting children!) exactly as the authors do, without any journalistic analysis of that being true or not. Could have ended the article with actual information from somewhere like the EFF, but instead, mentioned a concern from a nonprofit that “receives money from tech companies.”

What an absolute joke to call this journalism. No wonder they’re losing their jobs to algorithmic language models with no concern for anything other than sensible use of English grammar.

Everybody loses but the investment firm.

by. design.

it’s so hard to watch people in late-stage capitalism still have faith enough in the integrity of the whole thing to give a go at it, and inevitably get smacked down by the few with all the dollar, as if it werent all rigged against them from the beginning. I hope theyve learned and pivoted their efforts into helping press the big RESET button rather than kicking the can down the road, no matter how pure the intentions

there’s a class war on, and we’re losing. honestly, truly, maybe we don’t need an ethical review website right now, unless youre reviewing torches and pitchforks? I say this out of frustration that so many of the people behind that site will just pointlessly try to play by the rules again. the war needs more good fighters, not people who continue to swallow the lie that the way forward is playing by the current, just so laughably rigged game

i dont care that this whole comment is a cliche

cliches are cliches for a reason

fuck Google, the employees and shareholders

eat the fucking rich

the economy is a circle. people choose where they buy from and what they buy, and producers and stores don’t just make money from thin air.

people often choose convenience and lower price, indirectly choosing to be part of something “big” by supporting the big business. there is a disconnect in thinking choosing higher inconvenience and cost in the name of supporting smaller businesses “does anything” - except youre already doing something, youre supporting the big business and literally responsible for its success

same thing happens when a mutual fund rewards a company for profits while ignoring how it got them. nevermind we are simultaneously the customers and employees these companies poorly treat, extort and squeeze for every penny.

until people decide individually to make decisions and sacrifices for everyones future, rather than spouting the obvious propaganda that individual action doesn’t matter, therefore why bother? it can’t.

also, late stage capitalism doesnt do stability- you get yours while you can and get out because the next crash is coming soon

america is a country full of people who can’t wait for the next new thing they’ll be able to point to their neighbors also doing and shrug, while whatever it is further burns their world to the ground. lately that thing is ditching pensions and low yield investments to make retirement dependent on the profits of giant, horrible companies. I honestly think it’ll be the one of a thousand papercuts as everyone shirks responsibility because, hey, this bread and these circuses aren’t that bad…

edit tl;dr americans have a serious disconnect between their actions and the consequences of them at scale. until that changes, we all lose
