So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • Next step, you won't own your devices anymore, and the end game is a state intranet on government thin clients.

    All lobbied for by Meta.

    This is gonna kill the Fediverse and that is the intention.

  • This is why I recommend using dedicated cameras that don't connect to the web. Well, one reason, the other reason is because dedicated cameras will always outperform phone cams.

  • To those who draw and create art: Do you enjoy the process naturally, or did you have to develop the habit? If it was the latter, how did you do it?

    Jump

  • I enjoy the process.

  • RAM Shortage Expected to Continue Into Next Year or Later

  • You mean the shortage that's purposefully engineered to price everyone out of the market and push them onto the cloud?

  • Welcome to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, because this is an idea pulled straight from that game.

  • What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?

  • Jaywalkers? Fix urban planning to where people don't have to jaywalk to begin with, ie. start de-emphasizing stroads and car dependence already...

    Murderers, rapists, and pedos? Those are a genuine threat to public safety and actually need to be locked away for that reason.

  • They'll probably just ban Linux and BSD on the desktop and force Windows and macOS. If NK can force Red Star, then the Fourth Reich can force their approved OS.

  • So far it's only been implemented successfully on modern Surface devices, but hypothetically any PC could implement it.

  • American History X, easily. In fact, that movie had a troubled production during the time it came out, but it would be censored to hell and back were it made today.

    The original Robocop as well because Hollywood is too scared of violence nowadays, fun fact, the original Robocop almost got an NC-17 (then X) rating for violence alone and had to be edited 13 times to get downgraded to a hard R* rating.

    *Hard R in the movie rating sense, is when an R-rated movie truly earns that R rating through having a lot of violence, gore, swearing, explicit content, or a combination of those factors. It's when an R-rated movie is teetering on the edge of getting upgraded to NC-17, basically. This old AVPGalaxy post should go more into what the hard R rating entails. The original Robocop got downgraded to this from the NC-17 rating it almost got (X when that movie was in production) after 13 edits like I said.

    Here's an archived version of the Bloody Disgusting article referenced in that AVPGalaxy post since that reference is a dead link.

  • It means my devices are owned by the state should this pass, and the First Amendment will be rendered null and void so goodbye free speech and free expression.

  • If they can ban hardware they don't like, they can ban software they don't like too, they could just make Linux illegal to operate.

  • Artix straight-up refused, and I presume antiX's general stance is against age-gating as they proudly state their anti-fascist stance in their tagline, and as far as I'm aware Devuan is against age-gating as well. I also can assume Parabola and Hyperbola are against this as well.

    And then of course Ageless is protestware.

    Adenix also refused.
