@Alistair_McF people with really high hours leaving negative reviews (and still playing) is a sign of trouble, not a flex. unless you do not understand that some abysmal decisions are killing off their will to play and that this is an early warning for them quitting.
source: im one of them.
@TexFunz2 conveniently omitted the fact that voicechat is completely fucking dead now, nobody uses it, and thats why theres "less violations" xd
and still no text chat on pc
@Sven_YT@Protox0 Assuming your clan locks down purchase of master keys, you can have completely safe and unraidable loot storage. That's the issue with the implementation.
@ringdinger7000@Protox0 Safe loot storage, no doorcamping, access to nearby shops for safe transferring to/from safezone, etc...
Think of it like being able to safely log out in outpost.
@Protox0 Let me get this straight.
They add apartments for scrap, a currency which clans will always have in excess, and then add a "one per server per 12h" key to bandit, also for scrap, and expect this to not end up with clans buying up keys to prevent their safehouses being raided?????
@Protox0 Absolutely abysmal and idiotic idea for multiple practical reasons (completely unrelated to agreeing or disagreeing with people being game-banned for saying words in voice)
@tsybalab Uses of VPNs:
Mitigation of DDoS attacks in p2p games (GTA Online), hiding your IP from online services (abusive hosts & fingerprinting w/o cookies).
Other countries don't have to care about GDPR, we have to protect ourselves.
What a moronic & shallow thesis you made. log off.
@teamspeakdev@turbotroleo@rex2630@0nly_Blu3@teamspeak can you make windows screen sharing not use game capture and allow dxgi capture like obs? yellow border screen capture causes terrible dwm lag and teamspeak "gained" this issue for no reason.
Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.
First, Ashton Kutcher convinced the EU Commission that they could scan everything on an EU citizen’s phone or computer (messages, photos, emails, phone calls, all of it) for child sexual abuse material without, at the same time, looking at the content of other types of communication.
And then?
And then EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson presented the legislative proposal called Chat Control, which aimed to scan everything on all EU citizens' phones and computers (including conversations in end-to-end-encrypted messaging services). The message from the Commission was: we will only search for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
And then?
And then experts from all over the world explained to her that the kind of scanning she was talking about (as Ylva described it: a drug-sniffing dog that can detect illegal content in a message without reading the message) simply cannot be done safely, and that Chat Control would mean the end of privacy and pose a security threat to all Europeans. Ylva responded with: “what about the children?”
And then?
And then it was revealed that Thorn, the organization founded by Ashton Kutcher and which had been lobbying for Chat Control from the beginning, was selling the kind of scanning technology that could be used for Chat Control – despite being registered as a charity organization in the EU’s lobbying registry.
And then?
And then it was revealed that Thorn, together with the EU Commission, had also started and funded “children’s rights organizations” that had supported the proposal. What appeared publicly to be charitable organizations were in fact lobby groups.
And then?
And then it was revealed that Europol wanted unlimited access and wanted to use the scanning for more than just child abuse crimes, saying that all data – also unfiltered and innocent material – should be stored because it “could at some point be useful to law enforcement”.
And then?
And then it was revealed that employees at Europol had joined Thorn, to lobby their old colleagues.
And then?
And then politicians in Brussels wanted to exempt themselves from the scanning.
And then?
And then the European Parliament, in an almost historic consensus, voted against the proposal and called Chat Control nothing but mass surveillance. As one of the members of the parliament said: “The Commission wasn’t focusing on protecting children but wanted mass surveillance.”
And then?
And then The Council of the EU (law proposals must go through both the Parliament and the Council), after three years of negotiation, finally reached a common position on Chat Control. The requirement for mandatory scanning (including end-to-end encrypted messaging services) was removed, which is a major victory, but several problematic elements remain in the Council's position. For instance, the Council wants to demand ID Control to use messaging services (including end-to-end encrypted).
And then?
And then, in 2026 the final negotiations began, between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. At the same time, the European Commission is working on a Plan B, through the initiative Going Dark/ProtectEU, where they once again try to force total surveillance (this time organized crime is the excuse) on the citizens of the EU.
And then?

@ape41eth@TimSweeneyEpic So we agree? Parents are responsible for their kids, so that responsibility should be enforced, not mitigated by having to hand over your ID ONLINE OF ALL PLACES.
At least IRL/in grocery store its okay because once the cashier returns it you know there's no copies without consent
