Even my CoD (Warzone) obsessed friend told me he barely plays anymore. He said it’s become boring and repetitive, and also he finally realized how much time and effort it takes (for a meh payout).

How are you going to be on Lemmy, a super-niche, nerdy-ass platform, and call Single Player gamers dweebs lol?

It’s not their AI (Bixby). It’s Gemini. But yes.

You what

Which is what they’re doing, but the bigger point is that you can’t say you’re going to move while all of this (subpoenas, etc) are happening. Before, sure. After, sure. During? Nope.

I’m not inherently trying to defend Proton here, but the question to ask here is – did they have a choice? I’m asking seriously, and not rhetorically. Did they willingly hand over the data, or were they legally required to, by Swiss law?

No no, you don’t understand. That doesn’t apply to us plebs (US citizens). It only applies to other countries so that the government can checks notes “strongly condemn” them.

So is he insinuating that communities should have IT people who keep things running for everyone (like a digital librarian of sorts)?

Because that takes time, effort, and money. Like a lot more than one would spend or need for just themselves/family/maybe a couple of friends.

Also, community-run self-hosting just seems like a bad idea from a privacy and legality standpoint. One pirate getting caught isn’t usually so bad (usually a warning or small fine). But once you start distributing, then you’re going from a kiddie pool of consequences into an ocean of consequences. We’re talking massive fines and/or jail time.

Edit: I should clarify that I’m not talking about services here, but content itself.

When I pointed out the first time this happened, I was pummeled in the comments by people saying that he just doesn’t want to be complicit in anything. Okay, but then why did he give Ukraine a bunch of Starlink receivers to begin with? And now this is the second or third time he’s fucked the Ukrainians by turning off the service as they’re taking back their land.

He a fucking clown. He wants his service used, but he doesn’t want any consequences. He just wants to drag the war out and add “Powered by Starlink”. He’s given himself some control over the conflict, while enriching himself for as long as it continues.

Your Cybertruck now identifies as a WWII era Porsche tank.

Close enough. Welcome back, Lego Island.

Parents told me I’m the cause of all their problems.

They know what it is. But they think it’s optional, because us plebs don’t deserve a choice. They think they run our world because we use their platforms.

So a system-wide wiretap?

Graphene?

I can’t bring myself to use a Pixel because I don’t trust Google-everything. I have so much to say, and yet I’ve said it a thousand times already. So I’m just gonna sigh.

And yes, I know I’m on Android either way.

Yup. Knew this would come to light one day, as soon as Trump thanked Elon for being “so good with the voting machines” and saying he couldn’t have won without him. Because he can’t help but brag, even when he thinks he’s being cryptic (he’s not).

They should actually take to the streets (again). Not joking. What is this nanny-state BS?

It wasn’t even a good mission. You fight him. You “kill him”. Then there’s a cutscene where he’s revived in a lab… So what was even the point?

I remember getting ads for this months ago on social media. I was like, “Why is the guy from Mafia 3 in this?” Fast forward to now, and my understanding is that the game is simply a series of scripted sequences (“missions”) made in a Fortnite/Roblox-like platform called “Everything”.

It sounds like the game is just that, with FMV’s?
