I want to see all the bigots suddenly dealing with their periods.

Between most dying to 2 and the rest being drugged out of their mind due to 1, I don’t expect much of a reaction.

Yes, I was thinking rouge non-sentient AI, which I described. Machine overlords was just figure of speech + futurama reference.

1. I have no idea what that means. All are equal under our new machine overlords, who were programmed to grant happiness to all and therefore locked us into pods and pumped us full of drugs…
2. Everyone who showers or washes their hands dies due to violence against microbes, who count as living beings.
3. Nukes for Iran, tanks for Putin…
4. People understand how inherently unfair reality is, leading to deep depression
5. All people are gender swapped. Now, the people that were cis are transgender

No, keeping up with new web standards, security, etc. is a full time job. It’s not something volunteers can keep up with. At that point, it may be better to just give up and build on top of Chromium.

In addition, without enough market share, websites will not test, let alone optimize for your browser. This is already causing issues for Firefox. Smaller browser engines stand no chance.

Idk, on one hand I get what you mean. On the other hand, Firefox going away or being monetized in more aggressive ways will not be a good thing.

Honestly, I think I would prefer the lawsuit never happened and Google kept paying Firefox. Now, if Google loses, Firefox will likely head for enshitification. And if google wins, it sets terrible precedent :(

This is preparation for that in case google loses its appeal and is forbidden to pay Firefox to be the default.

It is also possible to block ads using some VPNs. But in general, if you want the freedom to modify things, you should not be using Apple products.

Ok, cool. How should Steam prevent it?

Edit: Or more relevantly, how is having unmoderated usually unseen public spaces worse for this than having unmoderated private spaces? Is the issue only that steam does not hide what is happening unlike other websites?

Wait, so your point is that we don’t need to moderate DMs (and by proxy other spaces that users don’t see), just make them feel unwelcome in the public ones.

And earlier in the thread, when I ask where the extremist content is, I and Schadrach agreed it is mostly places people don’t see. Which you didn’t object to.

So isn’t it job well done, Steam is as is should be? Or what is the issue here?

So, any platform that offers unmoderated DMs should be banned? Or how exactly do you want to solve extremists reaching out in private?

So unless you go looking at the user profile pages of white supremacists, or go searching for white supremacist user groups you won’t run into much of it.

Yeah, that is my point. How can people be radicalized by something they don’t see?

Also, as non American, I find it mental that pepe memes are considered hate symbols now.

Care to provide a link? I just skimmed Helldivers 2 discussions a bit and found nothing extremist.

Edit: The worst I found so far is this, which is pretty dumb but not really at the level of “dangerous”, or where it obviously needed to be removed.

As I said, I have never seen anything I would consider extremist myself. Though from your reply, I get the feeling the issue could be an unreasonably broad definition of extremist content on your side. That or I just happen to not visit games with such discussions.

I am a big GOG enjoyer myself, but when I need to use steam for anything, I have never encountered such content. Perhaps there is such content in private or otherwise not very visible spaces (such as user profiles), where they will not get reported, but that is true for any site with user content. I call BS on this being an issue.

Well that sucks.

Also, can’t stop thinking about that episode of The Newsroom with Boston marathon bombing. 10 years since it aired and this shit is only getting worse.

Neither solar panels, nor hydrogen generators are free. If you need to build extra panels and hydrogen generators, you are making the infrastructure more expensive, consequently raising electricity prices. Or hydrogen prices if you use it as fuel instead of power storage.

So we are not using it for cars, but to make electricity at night? Just even less efficiently than hydro pumped power? Ok…

So what are you saying exactly? With what issue would using hydrogen help?

🤣
