Furthermore, announcing which domains I'm blocking gives other responsible admins a heads-up about problem instances.
I can tell you're new here man. No, it really doesn't. No one really cares. It's an unnecessary signaling and honestly perpetuates a false sense of relevance. You are one tiny instance in a sea of thousands. I've been here for over eight years. That censorship will come back around to you eventually.
But whatever man. You're free to do as you wish. 🍻

If you have to block people, I'd recommend blocking individuals over entire servers. I've written a post about Fediverse censorship and how it breaks everything:

also, there's no need to announce you're blocking someone. That's intentionally making a statement no one cares about. Just block and move on.

@djsumdog @nihilvt @hellhammer666 You couldn't play the singleplayer campaign unless you had the N64 Expansion Pak.

Palantir / ESG it's the same thing. Doesn't any one else notice this? I feel like I'm taking CRAZY PILLS!

You don't like patents and/or copyrights because you believe that property can only rightfully be owned collectively and/or that the rightfullness of ownership depends on who you are, and/or by how much you already have (or don't have,) and/or by how high or low your social status might be.
I don't like patents, nor copyrights, because ownership is ethically justified SOLELY and EXCLUSIVELY by the fact that what is claimed as "property" is subject to rivalrous consumption:
Intellectual property is illegitimate because ideas and information are non-rivalrous and non-excludable by nature. Unlike physical goods, which are scarce and rivalrous (e.g., if I take your apple, you no longer have it), ideas can be shared infinitely without diminishing their availability. Intellectual property laws artificially create scarcity by granting monopolies, which distorts markets and restricts the free flow of knowledge.
Here's a comprehensive essay on the topic => https://cdn.mises.org/15_2_1.pdf

To simply say that the Constitution "permits" the States to make gold and silver "legal tender" is a lie by understatement: It doesn't just "permit" it; it explicitly prohibits making anything else legal tender: Article I, section 10.

got the black ceiling tiles in place as well as black walls to place behind the outer walls. the level is basically in a black box and the skybox is pure black so it works really well.
re: gamedev
@bajax There are no experience points. It's more action-adventure than RPG.

Anyone knows of a toaster that's explicitly temperature-based?
(Like part of tech-sheet or verified in like teardowns, not something you'd assume, because I'd assume the opposite)
And it's a pain to search for because of liars calling their time-adjustment feature a "thermostat".

Microsoft appears to have lost nearly a third of their users over the last 3 years
@beardalaxy
>it is much easier to get the government to force companies to do right by the consumer (which is NOT EVEN THAT HARD BTW) than it is to just let them take away games that people have paid for and provide no alternate solution
Sure, but this assumes that the government cares about you, and that they care about video games. Most video game industry regulations these days only occur because a lot of aspects of the modern game industry like lootboxes can be considered "gambling". I don't know if politicians care about "preserving art".
>even going as far as putting legal on their asses when they try to do stuff like reverse engineering servers and getting money for their efforts
That's not a free market.
I think in a truly free market where anyone can create any video game using any franchise without being restricted by IP laws, live service games would be harder to sell because they would have to compete with non-live service games of the same franchise.
Why play the online only Diablo 3 by Blizzard when someone else can create their own Diablo that is playable offline?
Granted, it wouldn't be a perfect solution. There would probably still be some games as a service and some of them will pull the plug without providing any means to play offline/with dedicated servers, but a true free market without IP laws would probably make the situation better than it is now.
