I made this account wanting to try to be chaotic and unhinged for a change, but I couldn’t do it :c

Ah fuck I forgot about taxes

I had to ban myself from that game as I’d fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time

Best alternative I’ve found is Signal for VoIP and parsec for game streaming

Love her videos! Really opened my eyes to a lot of this.

Is the TOR part optional?

Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.

Neat. I’ve got an extra 10TB lying around, got any good setup documentation/guides you could reccomend?

Wonder what the latency would be like trying to fly my 3.5" on the moon from earth

Although I suppose the lack of atmosphere would be the bigger issue…

Some of these look like Omega Mart products lol

You make some good points. I agree there are a lot of traditional ideals engrained in our justice system that enforce archaic power structures and perpetuate harm onto vulnerable people. And you’re right, people often use “protecting the children” as an excuse to take more and more rights away from the general populace.

That said, I still don’t think its productive to direct that frustration and anger at a volunteer moderator on a free, nonprofit platform.

Wrong way around. The law enforces more protections for children than adults, for which platforms are held to a higher standard.

Specifically, I’m talking about the higher standards for data privacy, user tracking, and content moderation. These are things that are trivial for large companies to implement, but would be a huge hurdle for small teams of unpaid volunteers.

Gonna go against the grain here and say YDI.

As others have mentioned, liability. The hosts of Lemmy instances are doing an incredible service enabling us to use this platform for free. And in providing that service, they are also assuming a significant amount of risk in a rather volatile legal environment. The law views a platform that allows (“targets”) minors very differently from one that is intended only for adults.

Additionally, TOS. Its as simple as that. This is not power tripping, this is just enforcement. Even if there was nothing explicity wrong about the behavior, once age is directly mentioned, liability is opened, and their hands are tied.

As a side note, there is nothing wrong with adult-only community spaces. Sometimes I want to have a discussion without worrying about whether the person on the other end is a literal child - there are enough adults that act like children as it is…

Having played tennis for nearly a decade, I can say with some assurance that I would get served.

Its a very common use case on discord. As an example, a group of friends playing Jackbox Games, or watching YouTube videos together.

It is also common on art-focused servers for many people to be passively sharing what they are working on while they chat.

Matrix can’t do game streaming, which is arguably a huge part of Discord.

But can it run Doom?

In this scenario I mean running or resistance training. I also enjoy hiking and tennis, which I find more enjoyable, but nothing that gives me the chemical release others describe. And not doing them does not significantly affect my mood.

Hmm. You are correct. I concede my point regarding upgradeable memory being an impossiblity for STRIX Halo.
