  1. Re:Get woke go broke on Sony Cracks Down On Sexually Explicit Content In Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    And once they win on this, they will demand for more.
    I bet sony will put game difficulty next on the chopping block, given how those screaming things are all demanding and trying to force from software to implement an easy mode on sekiro.

    And given that nintendo of all people are just riding on the sony wave, it will end up with a bizarro world thing where nintendo pull a sega does "Nintendoes what wussony don't" kind of commercials.

  2. I think they will notice the mistake of using automatic filters when the third or fourth fursuit wearing minister get elected.

    I think that a way to fight this would be to "leak" a document to wikileaks pointing out that the autism vaccine rumor was spread by alquaeda as part of a plan to attack the population with measles.

  7. Re:The usa needs single payer healthcare or Medica on Futurist Predicts AI Will Take Jobs, Benefiting the Rich But Not Workers (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The only difference on a healthy country is that there's competition between the corporations, so they try to do above the average.
    But the US is not a healthy country, so whatever is a monopolistic corporation or the government, you will not get a good service as they're basically the same thing

    But on the other hand, if you have a public service but it is not the only service, the government ends counting up like a competitor and most likely improve the things around greatly.

    Trusting the government to do anything right is quite naive.
    They will either fail to pass something like that, or fail to implement something like that.
    It probably would be better off to just limit the power the patents have at a point you can actually have some competition in the sector.

    The companies will gladly pay for it as long they're the only ones you can spend your money on and they're the ones that decide who gets the UBI or not.

  10. You have to consider that the UBI won't exist in a vacuum and will most likely get distorted by the mega corporations to reach their goals.
    So the first question you have to ask is, "what exxon mobil will try to use it for?".
    I think they will try to use it as a bludgeoning tool to remove smaller corporations from existence by erasing jobs that can be automated, but only if you're a mega billionaire company with budget to spend on this automation.

    It's not very smart to have a computer connected to the internet inside your television that you can't actually control.

  14. Even if this was a good idea at all, i don't think youtube can even find the massive number of social justice advocates that checking every video posted would require, or build the social justice skynet able to perfectly understand the "context" and "dog whistles" and catch every video.

    That's the point.

  18. This "great replacement" is what i can see pretty much the basis of the modern "nazis".
    I bet you can throw a wrench on the nazi factory by either having someone "neutral" breaking the theory, or at least convincing the "would be nazis" that the far-right solution will only make everything worse (which it would).

  19. It had a major overhaul on the GUI to suck quite less.
    The previous one was absolute madness.

  20. This thing is a lot more complex than just "antifa vs nazi", and trying to simplify like that only make the situation a lot worse.
    For example, the christchurch shooter is an "acceleracionist", basically someone that tried to do very specific actions to make a civil war between the left and right happen.
    The targets he picked, the memes he used, everything planned from the ground up to make the far left activists have more power and overreact with it, causing an overreaction from the right and so forth, and sadly the NZ government fell for his bait, sink and line.
    And finally, nothing justifies violence unless it's a direct immediate threat, If a nazi or an antifa or muslim or poodle fanatic is threatening your life directly such as pointing a gun at you, then you can stop him/her/(a shitton of pronouns), otherwise it's the job of the police to deal with it.

    It's weirder than that.
    Any sort of complex and fun to write code will always be superior on the open source version, ask things like ffmpeg and blender, or apache.
    Now when its boring code like GUIs, well, then people just don't want to touch that and halfass the GUI, when they even bother in doing one (see ffmpeg or blender).

  22. I hope this fail hard on Google Debuts Video Games Streaming Service Stadia (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Because its not very nice to give publishers and lawyers the power to completely wipe a game out of the existence.
    They have been trying to have this power for years now, and many games got a lot harder to erase for trivial shit like music licensing expiring to pure corporate assholery.

    The biggest problem i see with UBIs is that corporations can use and abuse it as an excuse for some very dreadful actions such as downsizing completely the opportunities of jobs.
    And as the biggest if not sole contributors for the taxes that will pay the UBIs, the amount of control they would get is quite scary.
