Sure, I won’t travel to Gaza and say “wow, so many dead people here” and act surprised, but if I stumble upon a dead body on a playground, you betcha it’s at least a little surprising.

Or it becomes a popular trolling target with a cry of “they can’t take us all down” and it gets worse.

For anybody saying “it’s not a problem, just moderate it yourself”, look at Relooted’s steam forum. There are more than 700 threads there and most of them are really not kind. Tell me how you’re going to moderate that.

Just put yourself in the shoes of game publishers or studios that make a game which goes against the grind and gets attacked like Relooted is being attacked. Would you want to employ somebody just to moderate the forums? Should the onus be on the forum owners or should it be on the forum providers (Valve)? Do you think this has no effect on the types of games being released?

I mean, look at this game Tyrone vs Cops 2. Is this OK? What do you think the forum discussions look like. Are they OK? If it’s only devs that should moderate their forums, that means the KKK could make game about water lillies and then have their forums be the meeting ground for white power discussions. They won’t be offended after-all. That’s OK?

I don’t know why @fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world said “it’s nowhere near discord”. The Element client supports voice and video rooms and certain servers have extensions installed for custom emojis. I don’t know what else Discord does that’s special. “Servers” in Discord are “Spaces” in Matrix. Spaces can have rooms.

The major difference I find are the moderation tools in Matrix. They have to be installed by the server admin and can’t be activated per room by the room admins or mods.

Use Matrix. It has E2E encryption.

It would make Europeans happy that are trying to reduce their US tech consumption.

Are you going to release it on GoG?

They aren’t educated. Simple as that. Many can’t even find their own country on the map, let alone tell which continent it is on. Forget history.

Oh boy… I see lots of crunch in the future of those poor devs.

Naja? Is that the name of the bandit?

lol “I understood just fine”

Actually understood nothing and doubles down.

I think it’s really only the latter: if rich yanks benefit = good, if non-yanks benefit = bad. They don’t give two shits about USAians non in the C-suite being laid off. They haven’t since the beginning and won’t start now.

On deathbead, poor as a rock: at least I didn’t slack off and was of value to the economy!

As if it’d be better run by private interests in the US 😂

The letter was sent on January 22 and suggests the debt-financed $55 billion acquisition, which will purportedly result in PIF holding a 93.4 percent stake in the Battlefield and Apex Legends publisher, will incentive layoffs, offshoring, studio closures, and other cost-cutting measures.

“incentive”

Also, isn’t this what yanks have been doing for decades? Don’t seppo businesses regularly fire a bunch of employees before the end of the financial year to have “record-breaking fourth quarter” and then hire back a bunch of people? Painting the Saudis as worse capitalists than the USAians is just hilarious

“My identity is neocolonialism and megalomania”

I’m super mad right now.

Land of the Unfree

Home of the Slave

Braveria

Deniable Melting Pot

Capitalismo

Duolopy

So many options…

If they stopped calling themselves “Americans”, it’d be fine, but they call themselves as if they owned 2 continents (and they behave that way too). A renaming would be very much in order. Liberteria, The States, Trumpia, Costa to Costa, Burgerland, whatever.

Anything that puts a layer between your skin and the sun and car exhaust, probably more helpful than harmful.

That definitely isn’t true. Acid puts a layer between you and the sun and isn’t good for your skin. There are creams that dry your skin leading to cracks and death of certain healthy bacteria on your skin. The cracks can expose your body to fungi and dangerous bacteria. Things like mixing suncream and anti-mosquito spray can lead to serious rashes and skin irritation. Creams can also have a low SPF and damaging effects to the skin, giving you a false sense of security while destroying your skin even more.

I’m convinced that make up has chemicals in them that deteriorate the skin more quickly when used. IMO, make up should be worn only on occasion, not daily. If it were worn only on occasion, the wow effect would be larger and the skin would recover to age more naturally.

Oh, sorry. I hope I didn’t spoil it for you. Let me add tags.
