@PlayStation There’s no reason to stay with PlayStation anymore.
After more than 30 years with Sony, I’m switching to PC.
With no physical games, there isn’t a single valid reason to stay with PlayStation instead of buying a PC.
Sony has officially killed its own appeal.
PC has won.
@vonderleyen Why don't we lower taxes to our local retailers instead of charging nonsene for goods we outsource? You always try to find ways to charge to your admittedly beloved europeans. Stop pretending

👀 From KOSA to Chat Control, governments worldwide are pushing a synchronized agenda of surveillance, censorship, and digital access restrictions. This infrastructure doesn't just threaten the open web, it puts gaming communities, private servers, and digital preservation directly in the crosshairs.
🤝 We are building a global hub for research and resistance to challenge this dangerous shift toward state-controlled platforms.
💪 We need all hands on deck.
Join the movement: https://t.co/GQ7GgGkPnk
🙌 The answer to online safety cannot be the surveillance and censorship we were warned about in Orwell's 1984. It’s time to fight back!

The Open Web Is Being Locked Down — And Games Will Die With It!
Age gates are becoming kill switches for games.
SKG signed because laws like the UK Online Safety Act and California’s AB 1043 threaten private servers, mods, fan projects, and preservation.
#StopKillingTheInternet
For #StopKillingtheInternet: The KIDS Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives: https://t.co/2eNetHDa8s
Contact your U.S. Senator and tell them you do not support verifying your age to use the Internet: https://t.co/ESsWIq4jI9

"Parents should be able to control their kid's online experiences!"
THEY ALREADY CAN!! THEY ALREADY FREAKING CAN!! THEY CAN DO THIS RIGHT THE FRICK NOW!!
WE DON'T NEED TO VIOLATE OUR 1ST AND 4TH TO ACHIEVE CHILD SAFETY!! PARENTS JUST NEED TO DO THEIR JOBBBBBB!!!!!
During a California Senate committee hearing on the Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921) the ESA lobbyist Jennifer Gibbons said that community-run Minecraft servers ARE ILLEGAL under CURRENT, ALREADY EXISTING LAW
The comment came as the ESA opposed the bill, which aims to prevent games from becoming unplayable after publishers shut down official servers.
Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.
NUCLEAR POWER.
IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.
IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.
AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.
IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.
THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.
NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.
NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.
NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.
IT'S EFFECTIVE.
IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.
NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.
WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.
BUT WE SAID NO.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?
ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?
This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.
Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?
Because this is about control, not children.
Die #Chatkontrolle ist einigen Leuten so wichtig, dass sie demokratische Prinzipien ignorieren, Abstimmen bis das Ergebnis wie gewünscht ist.
Passt dazu, dass so etwas wie Chatkontrolle in einer Demokratie nichts zu suchen hat.
