@beardalaxy Yeah, I heard. It's been slowly brewing ever since Matara left. Matara, Geega, Zen, some staff members. But with Ironmouse, the dam broke, and I think they're all leaving. Surely, removing Vshojo from their Twitter names is not a good sign, even if they didn't all announce it yet.
@beardalaxy It's starting to sound like no one was getting payed since last year. Just from Ironmouse and Kson alone, I think they might have stolen close to $1 million.
The Vshojo story keeps getting worse. They even managed to screw over what was supposed to be the future gen.
@weaf My default assumption already is that all vtubers have boyfriends, if not husbands, already. So... meh...

Thing is, we've already seen evidence that the Biden admin was pushing for a lot of censorship. I think most of it was essentially politically driven. It wasn't always from presidents, or politicians, maybe sometimes it was from political NGOs or activists. But this shit was driven by politics.
I'm sorry, but you can't convince me anymore that the average company gives a crap if their ad is placed next to a news story of a pedophile raping a child. They care about views and people buying the product. Actually, correction, they don't even care about views that much. They care for the end result of more sales.
I think a lot of the censorship was driven by old mainstream media trying to sabotage new media. Let's remember that the Pewdiepie Adpocalypse was manufactured by mainstream media. It wasn't new media that pressured YouTube to make changes. It was always the mainstream media, either themselves, or through 3rd party activists, that constantly manipulated and shaped these spaces.
@creamqueen Out of LITERALLY EVERYTHING shitty that has happened for the last decade and a bit, THIS is what I hate the most.
@camedei456 I haven't needed to buy a HDD in ages. I don't even know who's more reliable these days.

I was right.

@beardalaxy You should check on YouTube, I think they're streaming it there for free. I know I accidentally stumbled on it once. Don't know if they archive them, but they probably do.
@VD15 Yeah, apparently AI psychosis is a real thing, and it seems to happen because AI will just blindly reinforce whatever you say to it, with minimal (if any) pushback. It's affirmation taken to the extreme.
As a side note, it might explain why the trans movement has gone so insane too. Since the only acceptable treatment for trans people in the medical field is now "affirm, affirm, affirm", you start getting the same effect: trans person spouts out schizophrenic rants and the therapist (and social circle) reflects it back towards the trans person, reinforcing the schizo beliefs and behaviors, which them amplifies them.
@matrix I'm triggered... ok, not really triggered, but you got me. Got a thousand ebooks, and most of them I'll probably never manage to read.
@beardalaxy Is that Harry the lizard?
@VD15 I don't follow the guy, is he actually claiming he had a "second puberty"? I heard it somewhere else recently, but I still don't believe it.
Just when I was preparing to make a post, reminding people of how atrocious bluetooth support is on Linux, the Wifi decided to have a hiccup and stop working for a few secs. You can't make this shit up.
As for bluetooth. It has weird moments when it insists on disconnecting bluetooth headsets every 10 seconds or so. At some points, after I keep insisting, it magically starts working fine. I tried to rule out interference, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Restarts don't affects things either. Then it decided to crap out on connecting to a bluetooth mouse too.
Meanwhile, booted my Win10 (installed on an external SSD btw, best gadget I have by far), everything worked perfectly.
