@graf @sjw Here is my terrible commentary on that even worse video. It came out long because I hate this guy without knowing who he is. The TL;DR is "this is a psyop and everyone should calm down until something real happens".

This guy is claiming it's gonna get people locked up for using a VPN because that's "circumventing a geofence". Using a VPN would not qualify; a business trying to conceal how many users it had in the US (to claim it was under 1m) or registering a shell company in a friendly country (say Tencent registered a business in the EU) would qualify. You'd have to try to circumvent that law, and this guy is going all "And *this* circumvents things!" and it doesn't circumvent provisions of that law, which is what that section applies to, which means it has nothing to do with that. All of these videos, all of the arguments, these are "Some dude reads a chunk of the text in isolation and makes up bullshit".

I stopped watching the video after that. I am really not going to start being concerned about this until a constitutional lawyer is. The amount of bullshit around this law has passed the level of "maybe random youtube dickhead has something interesting to say". Random Youtube dickhead has burned me every time on this: it's all retards. I don't know if he's a shill or if he's just an idiot that fell for the psyop. The text of the bill has none of this scary shit in it, and the only reason anyone is saying anything about it is because some random internet dipshits keep panicking about it.

The psyop might not be Chinese anyway. It might be American. It might exist entirely to distract from the "require an ID to use the internet" bill in the Senate that is suspiciously like the first steps to the "Digital Identity" the WEF proposed: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/davos-agenda-digital-identity-frameworks/ . (That came from @coolboymew , in https://shitposter.club/objects/0dbc5216-4249-4fd4-be93-611b0a994ee2 .) Purely by coincidence, it's simultaneously being pushed in the US Senate ( https://fcw.com/digital-government/2023/03/senate-committee-advances-open-source-software-and-digital-identity-bills/384583/ ) and also the UK Parliament ( https://www.cityam.com/why-i-tabled-an-amendment-to-the-financial-services-and-markets-bill-on-digital-id/ ) and in Arkansas ( https://talkbusiness.net/2023/03/governor-lawmakers-push-bill-to-require-age-verification-for-social-media-usage/ ) and in Florida ( https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-lawmaker-coming-after-internet-porn-introduces-age-verification-bill/ ) and I got tired of clicking after that. So maybe all of these people making up shit to stoke the panic over this stupid SB686 stuff are not covering for Tencent, maybe they're covering for US politicians that are pushing actually terrible shit.

So I don't want to miss the actual bad shit because of people freaking out about the SB 686 Nothingburger. The panic is based on nothing but people hearing someone else panicking: dude hands a bunch of fireworks to children, the children set off the fireworks, this covers the sound of gunfire. The only way to avoid that psyop is to wait for something real and avoid caring about commentary about commentary about commentary about the text of the bill.

Come to think of it, bullshit like Code of Conduct (pronounced as "cock", not "sea oh sea"), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (pronounced "die", not "dee ai ee") are really designed to destroy the FLOSS community as a whole.

To be fair, good developers are oftentimes rather assholes.
In both cases they're trying to force those developers to walk on egg shells.
What instead happens is that all the good developers leave, maybe some who are cucked will stay a little longer, but it's a matter of time before either they leave or get cancelled.
Meanwhile, whoever has taken over the projects will invite total nitwits into those projects who have no idea how to code, and only join for bragging reasons, and eventually the projects just collapse.

This is why I'm so against Codes of Conduct (or Code of Conducts, or whatever the plural form is, no need to tell me, I don't care).
Some people simply ignore CoCs and use it anyway, but I think it's better to outright boycot projects that have a CoC, and just make your own instead.
Before you know it, the project gets abandoned, and you'll be left helpless.

@xianc78 @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I'm fairly certain it's a bot. Nearly every account that did that circle shit had him in the list. It's doing it for views. I ended up just blocking it

I've got a Dell R620 I picked up from ewaste with plenty of RAM, I might install 12 core chips in it since it only has quad cores rn.

Why would people block the dolphin emulator's website url?
