Iโm all for child safety.ย Iโm also all for parenting, supervising, and protecting kids โ to include the two minors of my own.ย This bill โ HR 7757 - under the guise of โkidsโ safety,โ is just more government creating a vehicle for mass surveillance โ ultimately leading to a digital surveillance state that leads to suppression of privacy, free speech, and punitive action against dissenting views - all under the guise of child safety. This is the first phase.ย Pretty soon, everything you do will be tracked โ and judged โ by the government.ย All I hear about right now are complaints and concerns on this issue; my constituents are all for safety and protection; what they donโt support are large scale ID databases, Central Bank Digital Currency, data centers, warrantless surveillance, camera surveillance, kill switches in cars, etc.ย Thereโs too much government in our lives and too many breaches into our privacy.
BTW โ check out the โUK Online Safety Act,โ passed a year ago this month in Great Britain, aimed at โkeeping children from accessing adult content.โ Well, surprise:ย the UKโs now using it for โage verification requirementsโ for adults (who must upload their ID / do a facial scan) to use any social media. Worse yet, now the UK isย cracking down on any dissenting views; in this case, IT apparently doesnโt like citizensโ criticism about Islamic migration overwhelming the country. Yes, they imprison people for political dissent thereโฆ
ย
Our government ultimately will be able to attack dissenters and quash dissent.ย Goodbye, First Amendment.ย ย

I was a โNOโ vote on this last night.
@HouseCommerce no one wants it. we see what youre doing. you do not care about kids. you do not care about people. you are all doing it for money, power, and control.
fuck ALL the way off.
Itโs been way too long since weโve seen the wolf dance, eh? ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐, ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!! ๐
@jdtrout@WilliamTimeMage@AutismCapital@Pirat_Nation Sure, but that's pedantic.
Is it not enough to recognize a desire for not having video game software emulate Adobe's business model, which video games have no business emulating?
@Violet_Okami@Maiger_1 You mean where to look instead, which I may have misinterpreted in my first post, I try to find just other stuff out there to handle multiplayer. Some aren't good, but they're not terribly worse than the big name consoles? I admit, you got to really dig if you want outside Steam
@Violet_Okami@Maiger_1 I wasn't saying that like a citation, you know? It was a small anecdotal aside to go with the opinion that I was stating. You probably don't need to verify the chat I talk to personally.
@Violet_Okami@Maiger_1 Asked around, even games that are well liked get a hard "uhh..."
I loved the shit out of a lot of these companies. It's been horrifically downhill on this front for multiple console generations now. Don't have perfect answers to that question, just know I can look elsewhere.
@Violet_Okami@Maiger_1 I'm sorry I missed your point of being forced to buy their products, though neither of us are forced to buy their products by our own admissions.
It is not a horrible take. You can pay for garbage and say thank you if you like, I'm not beholden.
@SkuruWolf That's a totally reasonable time frame to ask for updates, weekly shouldn't be out of the question, even if the answer is "No progress" once
In truth though, the artist who you are commissioning should have a stronger setting of expectations. They know how long they take, right?
@consumedbygay @israelcatto @TigerLion_Art Go play with your ships if you can't mind your manners when speaking to someone.
You're not going to go and fight any battle against media and advertisers out there, are you? Then you support those creeps instead by default when you show up like this to fight with individuals.
@wizard_rep @israelcatto @TigerLion_Art So you're going out of your way to fight the broader fight against sexual content across the entire broadcasting and advertising world and not just some suggestive furry shirt, right?
Or are you just going out of your way to tell me I'm wrong and shameful and the rest is fine?
@Violet_Okami@Maiger_1 Dump them on ebay and move on. I'm pretty sick of anti-customer behavior and have been rabidly cutting it out of my life, so being given basically free reasons to remove something offensive isn't really a bother to me, and gives me clear targets of "can't remove, must complain"
