- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 day ago:
They’re likely repurposing existing mechanisms western companies already have built and use. IIRC Apple or Amazon admitted this when they clarified they weren’t ‘listening’ per se.

Ah the 20 upvotes to 14 down. Good ol’ reliable internet.

No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer.
I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 week ago:
An MMO i played from 1999-2007 shut down in I think 2017. I still remember the landscapes and landmarks and it is really strange knowing the shared experiences in those places are just flat gone. Inscribed items with messages to other players: deleted.
I have emulated the game world but only fragments were saved by collective efforts in the community before shutdown. Regardless there’s simply no people or things to interact with so it feels even more soullessly dead and empty.

How many football fields is that?
- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 1 week ago:
PS3 launch relied on its backwards compatibility to have a deep roster of games. Removing hardware backwards compatibility was a blow, and in my opinion really started the unfortunate trend of rereleasing ported last-gen games for the next-gen console.
- Comment on Outstanding work 2 weeks ago:
Damnum.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Additionally there are a lot of people who choose to remain ignorant about Batista. A communist revolution overthrowing an objectively brutal regime really gets the right wingers on the defensive.
- Comment on We gonna fight 2 weeks ago:
If there’s an actual debate you’ve got to define terms. People’s definitions of ‘leftist’ can be pretty wild, especially if the debate is between an American and… mostly anyone outside America.
I have seen people waxing poetic about Imperial Japan and the Jakarta Method who consider themselves leftist, while at the same time associate outright NazBols with the left.
So ‘what do you actually mean by tankie/liberal?’ will usually cut through a lot of debate perv noise.
- Comment on We gonna fight 2 weeks ago:
A fundamental disagreement on a foundational principle is going to be a hurdle, indeed.

Fictional characters! Am I getting through to you at all?
- Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night 3 weeks ago:
This bill explicitly excludes batteries and storage of power. This just makes it so solar companies have to match their production with fossil fuel purchases.
It is to stop or slow expansion of renewables, as companies will essentially have to additionally and directly invest in fossil fuels to expand their industry.

What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn’t that what makes a man?’
- Comment on guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips 3 weeks ago:
I read this thread title in Alex Jones.
- Comment on We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then. 3 weeks ago:
If history is any precedent I think ICE agents will pivot to claiming anti-communism as a defense and be just fine.
- Comment on I don't even have a PieFed account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 4 weeks ago:
Ah to have spite donation money.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
People focus their energies on getting through the day for the most part of their lives. It is very hard for people to muster the time and energy to paying attention to politics, let alone ideologically political propaganda.
The vast majority flat ignore it entirely and remain in an apolitical state. This is a primary function of propaganda: insulating people from political action or thought that might alter the status quo.
- Comment on Is it true that femboys are "fetishized" by right-wingers or something like that? Or is my friend(who told me this) tripping balls? 4 weeks ago:
I think femininity itself is the more fetishized component, so it just means the femboy is successfully femming.
Especially when you consider how right wingers tend to interpret gender roles.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 weeks ago:
I got married while standing in a river and I incorporated a pagan ritual in front of a select few of unsuspecting parents and their spouses.
Worth.
A month and a half later we held a fancy reception dinner and served pancakes.
Also worth.
- Comment on never understood this 5 weeks ago:
I am willing to bet this is the same crowd that got real mad Nexus started removing adult content mods involving underage characters.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 1 month ago:
Absolutely. For science and curiosity did you try them using a keyboard+mouse or a controller?

Obligatory FromSoft lineup suggestion.
- Comment on Trump official declaring ‘anyone who preaches hate for America’ will be deported worries users: ‘They just skip the First Amendment’ 1 month ago:
Pretty tame for Miller. His normal rhetoric is something closer to Goebbels.
- Comment on Where Misato like women exist when I was teen. 1 month ago:
I always assumed the Mommy-Misato hangup thing was just a projected self-report.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 1 month ago:
Your brain on Nick Fuentes.
- Comment on I lost 6 to 10 years of my retirement last week! 1 month ago:
Rainwater with pure grain alcohol, of course.

Pff. My shirt is tie-dyed.
- Comment on Israel’s Genocide Has Reportedly Killed More Journalists Than WWI and WWII Combined 2 months ago:
I believe these would be documented direct killings of journalists while doing their jobs. Not civilians who were journalists killed in indiscriminate bombing campaigns and death squads.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 2 months ago:
These folks include presenting a false person as being of age, then switching to underage at the time of meetup when the target shows up.
A group descends upon the target who is now told they’re a pedophile.
Then the group tries to kill the person who was trying to meet what they thought was an adult.
And the perpetrators think this is justice.

It isn’t the medical definition at work, here. It’s the legal one.
