What is FAFO?

At least he made all his billionaire backers a lot of extra money from all of this.

I stopped online gaming as well a couple of years ago, and my life got so much better for it. Turns out the relaxation of playing online games was stressful and toxic as hell. I’ve been exclusively playing single player games since, and it has been a vastly improved experience relaxing with games.

Congrats. Now you can go to lemmy.ml and get banned for the exact same thing.

That’s not it. The right will lie about anything. If we change our beliefs to prevent the right from lying about us we would never have to stop changing our beliefs.

This is more about right wing militias hunting lqtb+ people under the guise of pedophilia.

because surely he has nothing else to do right?

We should probably be thankful that that narcissistic manchild is so addicted to his social media. Imagine how much more destructive shit he could have accomplished if he actually put his mind to it.

Who could have foreseen that a subculture based on spreading anti-scientism and unfounded paranoia, all in good fun of course, would be co-opted by right wing political propaganda for political purposes?

It was always right wing political shit. It just became even shittier. There is nothing glorious to preserve here, except perhaps as a good example of the fascist pipeline in action.

Nah, they will keep the corpse alive and possibly even more thriving (at least to the shareholders) with bot accounts. It is quite clear that a shitload of AI bots are being tested out in various subs at the moment.

Edit: An example of such an AI bot.

The fact that corporations sees the fediverse as inconsequential. The minute people flood it in larger numbers as they are fleeing the corporate entshittified internet, that is exactly what they are going to do though.

They got more than their moneys worth in the form of the US crashing and burning like it is now.

Go stick your tongue back into Putin.

I see you are not familiar with anything, considering your complete non sequitur nonsense spouting.

To be fair GTA VI is probably not coming to PC this decade.

They have already been trying to bully old.reddit users for quite some time by forcing a regular cookie acceptance prompt which automatically changes the settings to new reddit.

Well then I guess I need a new vehicle because I’m a handyman and I use a truck.

Yes, yes you do.

How about adressing the issue instead of just cresting strawmen about the messengers?

This feature is an actual fundamrntal privacy issue.

It seems to me that the major issue people were complaining about was the thing even existing in the first place (and rightly so). So by them still wanting to implement it, they have fixed absolutely nothing.

This argument keeps missing that it is not only the quality but mainly the quantity of fakes which is going to be the problem. The complete undermining of trust in photographic evidence is seen as a good thing for so many nefarious vested interests, that this is an aim they will actively strive for.

It is the quantity of fakes because of the easy process which is going to be the problem. Fake pictures will very soon outnumber real, and the amount of them will still kerp grjwing exponentially even after that.
