@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual Things like, for example, putting ads and tracking into an operating system you paid money for?

@tilefan That's weird, it's not that I'm purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda... lose interest.

I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don't mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.

@InternetUser2012 I am Russian. Believe me when I say: most of us perfectly know what's going on.

We're just scared. That's it.

@Quintus It can get annoying. It certainly is distracting.

@Shelbyeileen I have a pet theory, that religion is basically a hardware vulnerability exploitation. Vulnerability being "we can't comprehend death, physically". Because trying to reconstruct non-existence in our world model causes division by zero, and everything breaks because you can't divide by zero and have meaningful results. So in order to avoid it, your brain bends its model of reality, starts telling itself fairy tales about the supernatural world, redefines death as "transformation", and basically bullshits itself into avoiding facing the inevitable.

> Even if we found out complete proof for what actually happens when you die and after death

We have. Your consciousness just shuts down forever. You're a mortician, you would know. We just can't grapple with it.

@Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.

As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.

@HotWheelsVroom

@flubba86 Yeah, it's actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.

@fruitycoder

@rimu I don't think it's without reason though.

Don't forget that fascism is what capitalism degenerates into.

So, follow the money, seek the ones who profit. Fascists themselves are irrelevant, they are basically useful idiots. Look out for those who feed those idiots.

@CrimeDad

@Daft_ish Facebook's making money selling *you* on Facebook. You are the raw material.

@Daft_ish If they are the ones who supplied your browser, they don't have to pay shit.

@Daft_ish Why go through the trouble of asking you when they can ask your browser who will tell them everything instantly and also knows you better than you ever will?

@CyberTailor @deadsuperhero @th3rdsergeevich Oh...

The link

https://xxivproduction.video/c/regex/videos

@CyberTailor @deadsuperhero Yep. That's where we basically (the RuFedi) gather regularly every two weeks to express ourselves via the mic and video. We tell stories, discuss news, show our work, and announce projects.

The point of the show, it MUST be done as a live stream (no post-production unless absolutely necessary), regularly, with AT LEAST TWO people (no matter who) leading the show. The episode MUST happen, come Hell or high water.

The stake? The show itself.

If there's only one person, or everybody skips the episode entirely, then the episode didn't happen, and the show is over.

We've been doing this for 2,5 years already, thanks to @th3rdsergeevich and other folks. It's been great.

@June Happy to help.
