look, i live in country with fortuitous lack of facists. or at least ones we have seem to keep mostly to themselves. I have never read anything regarding this from press or other source so that memory is pretty much only thing i have on the matter. it was black lives matter during ferguson protests that started using it, according to wikipedia.

though i kind of agree that on this point its quite pointless word to use beyond shitty people self-identifying themselves by raving how woke everything is.

i remember there being some twitter trend around it, kind of like the “me too” movement too. I think that is what started the current usage of the word.

Also, why would they invent such a word and not some more derogatory one? “Woke” has quite positive spin, being aware and stuff. The reason they use it as negative word is because its against everything they believe in. Woke people are literally a threat to them because they want to keep hating and abusing others. They want to keep doing the shit they are doing and anyone no indifferent to it is a problem.

saying they invented it is more akin to propaganda and revisionist history to me because it takes something away from the word, makes it lesser.

it wasnt invented by them

at this point its more of a way for assholes to out themselves by raving about how “woke” everything is.

but essentially it means to me being aware of things (more than just racism)

they want us to pay constantly, forever.

it will not stop unless its stopped.

constant propaganda and suppression.

it empowers the idiots and keeps those who can think down.

zero-k has terrain modification, which i havent seen on any other similar games. The units also have quite advanced ai, so less micromanagement. Though sometimes they get themselves in trouble but you can also setup retreat points for them.

zero-k is very nice, opensource too. I think it started as mod for total annihilation or supreme commander and developed into its own thing.

or the reviews are in lines of “brings nothing new, 9/10”

which is why any opensource project should have strict restrictions about how companies are allowed to use it.

its horrifying to imagine what he has done that is so bad he can be blackmailed over it

this should be common knowledge

that would require us to be in control of our own lives, instead of rich owning us. thorough research costs a lot of money and resources. it would cut into profits and some rich guy might not be able to buy third yact.

do enlighten us with a hypotetical scenario

there are many other things that were considered unrealistical legal obligations. our current consumer protections as a whole most likely were opposed by businesses at first, expect at that time governments were less puppet theaters for corporations.

and what was being asked was not unreasonable at all. No one asked for complicated solutions like simulating entire mmo community or whatever, just that the damn corporations would let community handle it once they dont want to upkeep the servers anymore or that they wouldnt be allowed to literally steal the game from you.

The reason why businesses oppose stop killing games is because people would buy less if they could keep playing the old ones (and not even everyone, just portion of them.)

If we cant get even a little thing like this, what hope do we have with big things?

then why not do as people ask if they dont care?

list everyone who voted for rejection, dig up what else they have been up to, make sure people know and will not forget. no peace for these assholes. even if it doesnt do anything, just having them think it might do something is enough.

these people have prevented other laws too or voted for shitty ones. And, if naming and shaming them isnt part of democracy then we have no democracy at all as then actions can’t have consequences.

its actually quite weird how strongly the ai is being pushed everywhere. Though I guess it just proves how deep the rot goes.

i wonder if it eventually comes to having to resort to legal action because of this. Those detectors are unreliable yet you can be penalized based on what they spew. And lost grades is lasting consequence.

only way to stop them from being monopoly would require anti-consumer actions, penalizing them for providing better service than others (which is what i assume is the goal of the “competitors” such as epic so they dont have to provide good service to compete).

Imo, these things should always be done user interests first, companies will manage always anyway. In the worst case the ceo can buy few yacts less.
