The PSBlackout protest begins tomorrow, August 23.
The campaign is calling on PlayStation users to stay logged out of PS5 and other PlayStation services for several days as a way to protest Sony’s recent decisions.
Supporters are being asked to avoid logging in, making purchases, and using PlayStation services during the protest.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯
A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:
"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."
Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."
They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.
It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."
Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.
That's when they found the loophole.
Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.
One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.
Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.
If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.
They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.
And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.
The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.
They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.
So this completely obliterates the innocent until proven guilty rule. You cannot just predict a crime when no illegal activity has occurred. They’re just gonna use the AI to make up stuff about the citizens they deem “domestic terrorists” so they can charge them with bullshit and lock them up. This is so fucking dystopian.
This is deeply emotional for us.🥹

They have all shown their true colors this generation🚀
✅PlayStation: wants to end physical media, and player ownership, 2nd hand market and create a monopoly, all that after wasting a whole generation on live service slop and cross gens, and shutting down studios.
✅Nintendo: creating slop with graphics from 3 generations ago for $80 on some games and thinks government tariff refunds are theirs while they’re happy to rob players.
✅Xbox: barely any games for a whole generation, decisions made on the fly without any real plan, creating a low end console that detailed this generation and glazing game pass which cost many studios their livelihood since they cultivated the mentality of not buying games.
All of that, and they’re all projecting their failure onto players, blaming them for their own shortcomings as if we owe them something.
Enough is enough!
We decide what’s worth our money.
No other industry is as entitled as the creative side of the gaming industry.
Just because it’s entertainment doesn’t mean we should accept the lowest standards, no respect, and an ever-shrinking value.
Speak loud
Fight for the value your see fit
You got the money, you got the power
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
