@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty I'm wondering if the issue is that they're narcissistic sociopaths, and the issue isn't that it's not the globalism that they want, but rather that it's not THEM that brought upon globalism. Maybe they have a savior complex of sorts, and they want to receive credit for creating the One World Government. So they can't allow the average humans themselves to interact with one another like this and come to a global mutual understanding by themselves.

Cause on the face of it, they don't want people to be racist, islamaphobes, etc., they claim they want everyone to be equal and treat everyone else the same, they want cultures to mix, but then they don't allow humans to freely interact online and learn from and about each other. There's literal studies that show that the best way to reduce bigotry is exposure. You'd think the internet would have been the perfect tool for a natural exposure therapy, where people learn about other cultures, without the socio-economical issues that come from mass migration.

But the internet wasn't their creation, and isn't their domain, so instead they force mass migration as the exposure method, and limit the internet so it can't get credit for creating the multicultural global utopia (in case it ever comes around).

At this point, that utopia is definitely not going to come, because instead of opting for the safe, self-controlled exposure of the internet, they went with unsafe, uncontrolled, mass migration instead.

It's like the difference between trying to cure arachnophobia with exposure to plushies that look like spiders and trying to cure arachnophobia by forcing the person in the same room with hundreds of the most dangerous spiders in the world. One is helpful with reducing trauma, the other will drastically increase it.
The internet had the ability to reduce bigotry, mass migration has the ability to vastly increase it.

@LukeAlmighty Don't worry, the sperg out was interesting.

To me it's starting to look like we're not getting neither "slave in heaven" nor "king in hell" scenarios, but rather a "slave in hell" one.

For almost a decade I've considered the idea that the Internet should be declared and acknowledged as its own independent state, with a constitution and laws completely separate from any country's laws (though I think an Internet constitution would ultimately end up being inspired by the US Constitution). Of course, I don't really know how it could be put into practice, and I don't know if it could actually work. But still, I feel like the global Internet is such an unique creation, that for it to continue allowing international interactions, this would be the only way to achieve that.

But it seems that this dream will likely end soon enough. We'll gonna end up with a couple of networks instead. The Americas (north and south continents) will likely be one network. EU and a few other European countries will be another. The Islamic world will likely separate too. China is already its own thing. Russia will follow suit too. And there are a few more countries, and Africa, that I don't know for sure what will happen to them, but they'll likely stick with America for a while longer.

@LukeAlmighty I honestly can't even comprehend these censorious bastards these days. The internet was probably the biggest driving force of globalism. Everyone is aware that the lefties that are pushing these censorship laws and policies are globalists. They probably orgasm at the thought of one world government. But then they go and nerf the one tool that would have brought them globalism by itself, without them doing anything at all.
I know these people are not particularly smart, but this really is a brain dead move.

@mischievoustomato No. Thanks for reminding me, nigger!

@mischievoustomato
I feel like the Linux ecosystem is slowly becoming slop anyway. They really didn't need to start using AI to get it done, but I commend them for their efforts to speeding up the shitification of Linux.

@lina @SuperSnekFriend
Let me put it another way. We have leaked source code of Windows XP. Have you seen anyone fixing the code up and compiling XP for new hardware? No. Because you'd face the same issues as a discovered leaker. You legally can't do shit with leaked code. Even trying to remake the engine is risky, because if Blizzard found you inspired yourself from the original source code, they could still get you.

You can't do remasters, you can't do ports, and you can't spruce up the engine with vulkan or something, without Blizzard being on your ass if the source code you're working with wasn't released under an open-source license.

Literally your only hope to keep StarCraft alive would have been if Blizzard died (went bankrupt without someone buying them up). Only then could you have made use of the leaked source code, because there wouldn't have been anyone to sue you.

And sure, Blizzard might die someday, but not soon, and someone will buy their intellectual property and be the rightful owners of StarCraft's source code. And you'll still not be legally able to use it.

@lina @SuperSnekFriend
Pretty sure he could have been sued to hell and back if he did it. And it's probably the only reason we got a StarCraft remaster in the first place.

@lina @SuperSnekFriend
Exactly. Though... there's also a different possibility, that is sadder. EA might have lost most of the source code of older games.
It's well known that Blizzard lost some source code. They had lost even the original StarCraft source code, but were lucky enough to recover it. But I think that Diablo 1, and the first 2 Warcraft games are actually completely lost. It's why Blizzard took the time to remaster StarCraft 1, Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3, but not the previous games.
So it's not hard to imagine a similar story being true for EA.

@SuperSnekFriend
What I'm curious about is: why Command and Conquer of all games? There's so many ancient franchises and games under EA's possession. Why CnC specifically is getting this love? My only guess is that maybe there's a contract the devs of the games, or someone, made with EA that stipulated they needed to release source code at some point. I can't believe EA would just do this out of their own volition, and for only this franchise alone.

@SuperDicq @sun
I hope it's real, so that maybe people learn to stop uploading their ID on random websites, and start fighting against legislation that would force people to ID themselves online.

@djsumdog @icedquinn
I need to know, do people actually read on their e-reader with fonts that big, or did you just increase it for the photo?

@m0xEE @icedquinn
Kinda. Besides, for a while people managed to gather together just around being truth seekers and appreciating scientific discourse.

But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Or in other words, Atheism+ came along, as a bunch of power hungry psychos, pretended they had the real moral truth, and wanted to control how everyone in the community behaved.
Before people talked of social-justice, before intersectional feminism, before talks of critical race theory and DEI, before "woke", it was Atheism+. And it ultimately dissolved the community. The old groups that were supposed to advocate for Atheism and defend the separation of Church and state in US, now advocate for literally anything else but that.

That's what happens when you let these types of people in. Everything you worked for gets sabotaged and derailed. :peepoShrug:

The Vshojo drama made me think about something... it's a bit of a stretch, but hang on with me.

So there's one thing that religions and Churches usually get credit for. Building communities. Even the Atheist movement acknowledged that one of the big reasons people don't abandon Christianity, even if they don't actually believe in god anymore, is their need to be in a community. And it's the thing I would hear a lot from Atheist figures that we needed to get better at. (Atheists never did manage to build healthy communities. Instead it all went completely to shit).

Well, I've been thinking now... are vtubers the new churches?
Like look at this shit, Ironmouse makes a video, then more vtubers and people covering the drama follow suit, and before you know it, you have a community raising over $1 million for charity. Isn't this one of those things we expect out of churches? To bring people together, to unify under a goal, and do good deeds (charity) together? And it's hardly the first hugely successful charity event vtubers lead.
And I guarantee you there are people of completely opposite sides of the political spectrum in the streams of the most popular vtubers. So they're definitely able to build a community and have people set aside differences for a couple of hours.
"But Vtubers don't preach, you dummy". You sure? I've seen plenty of examples of vtubers telling people "hey, don't be that guy". I've seen them setting moral examples and telling people right from wrong. It's not the sort of nagging preaching, sure. But then again, good priests weren't supposed to feel nagging.

We're in a new age. Why shouldn't our spiritual leaders be completely different from what we're used to? Who's to say Jesus has to reincarnate in ragged clothes? Maybe he can reincarnate as a cute anime waifu?

@icedquinn You know the saying... even a broken clock.

The thing that pisses me off to no end is that pre 2010s, it was the left that fully advocated against censorship in media.
Then proceeded more than a decade of the "liberal" left, the progressives, the feminists, the social-justice warriors, whatever label you want to use for them, that started advocating for censorship in media. Now that they finally realized it's a problem (after ignoring everyone else that was screaming at them all this time to stop), NOW they're pretending to come around and realize "oops, this ain't good". All I have to say is a sincere "fuck you" to all those people.
I don't even care that they finally agree with me on something. I don't actually want them as an ally and I still want them to suffer deeply at this point. These kinds of people abused my goodwill for a decade, and they helped bring this into effect in the first place. I'm a very forgiving person, but I have my limits.

Black Panther branded external HDDs exist. 😆
Who the fuck do you think would buy that?! It's not even the "good" Black Panther, it's the sequel nobody watched! Fucking morons...

> I wouldn’t discard China in comparison to US
I would. Search "tofu dreg" on YouTube to see how well China builds stuff. I'll wait.

@BasedLunatic
>they have to make it illegal to import Chinese electric cars to Europe because they can’t compete
Bruh, you're clueless. China gives massive amounts of subsidies to the electric car industry. Much more than US does. The reason Europe can't compete, is because the cost of the cars isn't actually covered by the buyers, it's covered by the communist government. Ever heard of something called unfair competition? China is literally selling cars bellow cost, to destroy European industry. So yeah, you bet your ass we should ban Chinese cars.

>And China was first out with 5g tech
No it wasn't. Not even close. All China does is steal technology, then sell bellow the price of companies who actually did the research and development, thus making those companies unable to recover the costs associated with researching, and ultimately lead them going bankrupt.

Go and learn some shit before you shill for China.

@BasedLunatic
China is not a capitalist system, jesus fuck! Yes, selling bellow cost with the express purpose to eliminate your competition is literally illegal. You know jack shit about economy I guess.
