STEAM HARDWARE UPDATE
Between July 29 and August 1, a cyber attack unfortunately hit Valve’s logistics partner, CEVA Logistics, affecting Steam Hardware customers in Europe (for Steam Controller and Steam Machine)
This means this information is potentially exposed:
Name
Street address, postal code and city
Country
Phone number
Email address Steam account uses
Type and price of the hardware ordered
Valve says you don’t need to change your password and that account/payment information was not affected, but to watch out for fake messages, emails, or calls asking you to verify your order. Do not click any suspicious links sent to you or accept any requests to “verify your information”. If you do get anything, go directly to Steam Support. You can check right now if you were sent an official Valve email that gives all this info.
PLAYSTATION GOES DARK ON AUGUST 23
seven days. consoles off on purpose.
- august 23, 7:00 pm local -> august 30, 7:00 pm local
- no logins. no sessions. no purchases on any sony platform
- called by @DoesItPlay1
sony ends disc production for every new playstation game in january 2028.
a new release becomes a download, or a box with a code in it.
the petition is approaching 350,000 verified names.
sony's public reply, twenty-six days in: nothing.
so the community stopped asking politely.
engagement is the number sony leads with every quarter, ahead of hardware.
the published figure only samples the last month of a quarter.
the internal dashboards read every single day.
a week-shaped hole in late august lands on someone's desk long before
november does.
a petition needs sony to choose to read it.
an empty server counts itself.

going dark on the 23rd? reply with your timezone.
You spent weeks saying "Fuck Sony."
You spent weeks saying, "Vote with your wallet."
Well, here's your chance.
If you can't stay off your PlayStation for one week, then stop pretending you want change.
Corporations aren't scared of angry tweets.
They're scared of empty wallets, empty servers, and people actually following through.

Very shortly this will become "law" in "the most moral country".
No appeals, hung IN 90 days.
Armed "settlers" stealing homes are exempt & cannot be punished.
If a Palestinian defends their home, they hang them, then steal their home.
And still SILENCE from the EU.
🚨 AMERICA — THIS IS THE MOMENT THE LINE WAS CROSSED. READ THIS CAREFULLY. SHARE IT. THIS IS NOT A THEORY. THIS IS NOW LAW.
A SILENT, UNANIMOUS RULING BY THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS FUNDAMENTALLY REDEFINED THE FOURTH AMENDMENT — AND MOST PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW IT HAPPENED. NO PRESS CONFERENCE. NO NATIONAL DEBATE. NO WARNING. JUST A DECISION THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
WHAT THE COURT JUST AUTHORIZED: POLICE MAY NOW ENTER YOUR HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT, WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT, AND WITHOUT A CRIME BEING COMMITTED. ALL THEY NEED IS A “REASONABLE BELIEF” THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE IN DANGER. NOT PROBABLE CAUSE. NOT A JUDGE. NOT EVIDENCE. A FEELING.
THIS RULING CAME FROM A CASE IN MONTANA. A MAN WAS REPORTED BY HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AS POSSIBLY SUICIDAL. NO THREAT. NO VIOLENCE. NO CRIME. NO WARRANT. POLICE ARRIVED, GOT NO RESPONSE, LOOKED THROUGH A WINDOW, AND THOUGHT THEY SAW A FIREARM. ONE OFFICER ENTERED THE HOME ANYWAY — AND SHOT THE MAN.
THE MAN SURVIVED. IT WAS LATER CONFIRMED HE WAS HOLDING A HOLSTER — NOT A WEAPON. AND HERE IS THE PART THAT SHOULD TERRIFY EVERY AMERICAN: THE MAN WHO WAS SHOT WAS THEN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE OFFICER WHO SHOT HIM.
FOR OVER 200 YEARS, THE HOME WAS A HARD CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARY. ENTRY REQUIRED PROBABLE CAUSE, A JUDGE’S SIGNATURE, AND CLEAR JUSTIFICATION. THIS RULING DESTROYS THAT STANDARD AND REPLACES IT WITH SUBJECTIVE JUDGMENT, AFTER-THE-FACT EXCUSES, AND UNCHECKED DISCRETION. “REASONABLE BELIEF” NOW OUTRANKS THE CONSTITUTION.
THE MOST ALARMING DETAIL? THE DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS. LEFT. RIGHT. LIBERAL. CONSERVATIVE. ALL AGREED.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT SAFETY — IT IS ABOUT CONTROL. WHEN THE STATE CAN DEFINE AN “EMERGENCY,” IT CAN ALSO SUSPEND YOUR RIGHTS. HISTORY IS CLEAR: EMERGENCY POWERS NEVER DISAPPEAR. THEY EXPAND. THEY NORMALIZE. THEY BECOME PERMANENT.
YOU’VE HEARD THE LANGUAGE BEFORE: “IT’S FOR SAFETY.” “ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES.” “IF YOU’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.” THESE WORDS JUSTIFIED SURVEILLANCE, SEIZURES, CENSORSHIP, AND DETENTION. NOW THEY JUSTIFIED WARRANTLESS HOME ENTRY.
TODAY IT’S MENTAL HEALTH. TOMORROW IT’S RISK ASSESSMENT. NEXT IT’S NONCOMPLIANCE. EVENTUALLY IT’S DISSENT.
THE MOST DANGEROUS PART IS THE SILENCE. NO OUTRAGE. NO HEARINGS. NO DEBATE. A POPULATION TRAINED TO ACCEPT EXCEPTIONS WILL EVENTUALLY LIVE WITHOUT RIGHTS. A SOCIETY THAT NORMALIZES EMERGENCY AUTHORITY ALWAYS LEARNS TOO LATE THAT THE EMERGENCY NEVER ENDS.
THIS RULING FORCES A SIMPLE QUESTION: ARE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FIRM LIMITS ON POWER — OR TEMPORARY PRIVILEGES THAT VANISH WHEN FEAR IS INVOKED? IF CONCERN ALONE JUSTIFIES FORCED ENTRY, THEN PRIVACY IS CONDITIONAL. IF FEAR OVERRIDES DUE PROCESS, THEN FREEDOM IS THEORETICAL.
THIS WAS NOT A SMALL LEGAL CHANGE. THIS WAS A STRUCTURAL SHIFT. THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WAS NOT REPEALED — IT WAS HOLLOWED OUT.
⚠️ THE DOOR IS NOW OPEN. THE QUESTION IS NOT IF IT WILL BE USED — BUT HOW FAR IT WILL GO. PAY ATTENTION. BECAUSE ONCE EMERGENCY EXCEPTIONS BECOME NORMAL, THE CONSTITUTION BECOMES OPTIONAL.
MR. POOL
What kind of totalitarian shit is this!?
The new Hate Speech Bill literally states that ‘no procedural fairness is required’ for the AFP Minster to decide you have engaged in a hate crime.
No procedural fairness?! No justice?! No investigation ?!
Just whatever the bias government Minster decides

I really hate the way all these "update" accounts are wording what happened.
NO, CHAT CONTROL WAS NOT PASSED. WE CAN STILL PUSH IT BACK.
By wording it like this, you're taking all the fight out of people.

I've been trying to reach @MrBeast for a long time. If you support me or you believe in the work @AbleGamers does to enable the millions of disabled players worldwide, please add your reply to the tweet below, explaining why you support AG, which increases the odds he'll see it.
Hearing the news that confirms police killed Elijah McClain and thinking about how when folks protested the police killing in the gentlest possible way, the cops did this.
