Honestly, I won't forgive Biden for just smiling in response to Trump winning after not leaving 4 years sooner. Before anyone asks, I voted for Harris, so don't shove that narrative down my throat.

I would consider canceling any dealings with US if said person isn't white, even that is a stretch for this dogshit administration. I hope we see a general protest by making the World Cup barren.

As a sane person I am deeply sorry for any strife our government causes. Do your best to stay safe!

Man I don't want a future where we doxx ourselves to just be on a PC. Its insane that parents think real ID for gaming is a good idea. Linux might be the only way to escape any of this in the near future.

This is why I installed Linux once M$ started forcing AI everywhere. Stealing my data should not be the goal of any operating system.

Yeah this was my first moment also and largely why I will never pay for NSO+. How they treat the esport community is crazy.

AI Slop isn't the only thing ruining my internet experience. Humans can also be garbage, looking at you influencers. AI Gamer Friends seems actually practical for being able to play multiplayer solo though.

I find it comforting knowing that streamers are raging at children online, everyone gets to eat the shit-sandwhich including them lmao.

I've been aware of the fediverse since the api-lypse but have just been lurking for a good while. I really hope we manage to find a social media system that doesn't bow to censorship. We need to find a way that lets us decentralize servers to not rely on AWS.

Seconding Boost for Lemmy, was my favorite before reddits api-lypse.

There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that's probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

Y'all can use LibreWolf or BestHomePageEver if it really bugs somebody. I do get being annoyed by shortcut ads though.

You mean we should stop enslaving citizens to corporations yes? That is practically capitalist kryptonite.

I don't believe anyone should be able to be worth billions if we actually value humanity.

Finding could also mean letting users share hosting responsibilities. Like making fediverse similar to torrenting.

Self Moderated is just fine. Why do I need to doxx myself to be online? I'm not giving away my birth certificate or SSN just to post on social media that idea is crazy lmao.

Yeah unfortunately we get to live through this nightmare even if you didn't vote for it. Best tip is to not use US services as payback. Use a VPN if necessary.

We know about GOG but most Dev Studios avoid it like the plague for some reason. Couldn't possibly be related to DRM money.

I prefer this over SBMM but at what point does it just become dead gaming theory?

Unfortunately, Bazzite doesn't work well on my devices otherwise I would. Waiting for a full SteamOS release to get better support.

If they made it so your average joe could contribute to the Fediverse with their own hardware I'd contribute. Tired of seeing social media be owned by Billionares.

Not refusing to refuse is still being complicit. I find it hilarious that inside trading fucks blame progressives every chance they get.

Windows will be worse soon thanks to passkey bullshit they are trying to force. I really think that Blizzard buyout may have entirely sunk current projects.
