@pettanko @beardalaxy I had a bunch of people who followed me, then shat on me because it turns out that I'm not NatSoc. I've also had people that I'm pretty sure were feds looking back. A lot of them have left fedi, but that's why I'm always paranoid about who's following me and also why I've limited my political discourse over the years.

What isn't talked much about in this is that there are also restrictions when it comes to video game providers (digital distribution services, multiplayer services, etc.) From what I can tell, yes, you do have to provide an ID to purchase video games online. Many people already use their real credit/debit cards for Steam, Xbox Live, etc so it might not be a deal for some, but it is for those who use pre-paid cards and cryptocurrencies to purchase games.

From what I can tell, most multiplayer games are fine as long as they don't create some searchable profile about their users. If you run some community server for an online game, or a tunneling service for LAN games like XLink Kai, or some reverse engineered service for a defunct console's online functionality, you should be fine, from what I can tell.

Please don't just instantly follow me because I liked or reblogged one of your posts.

Though this does make me wonder if commercial social media sites will start stripping algorithms and go back to non-targeted ads as a loophole. I don't think Facebook would do it, but X/Twitter might.

So, apparently KOSA *MIGHT* not apply to the fedi, or at least most of the fedi doesn't apply, as algorithmic manipulation is a requisite for being considered a "platform".

It's been a while since I've worked on the game itself, but I've implemented item crates that you destroy to get items.

Discourse has an ActivityPub plugin: https://discourse.org/plugins/activitypub

This plugin, for example, is enabled on SocialHub https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/about (it's a forum for fediverse developers)

Unix V4 tape recovered from a closet at the University of Utah. This was news a while back but here's a little news video about it.

This is probably the most impressive Ship of Harkinian mod yet? Who needs the OOT remake when you can have this?

The only thing that would be better would be to import Young Link's, Shiek's, Zelda's, and Gannon's models from SSBU and recreate other models using that games artstyle.

"DNS4EU is a public DNS resolver, co-funded by the European Commission and currently operated by a consortium led by Czech cybersecurity company Whalebone. The service launched last year as a sovereign European alternative to non-EU resolvers such as Google Public DNS and Cloudflare."

The humorous part of this is that it at least appears they envisioned some kind of patriotism for the reason people would want to utilize their European's DNS server when in reality it's more along the lines that Europeans utilize these third party US based DNS servers to get around the censorship in Europe. I don't know if it's true in Europe like it is in the US, but the nationalist types here would never mess with their DNS settings. They don't have two brain cells to rub together, either in the scope of knowledge, or figuring it out if somehow they heard the concept/word.

And sure- you have a few users wanting them to censor their kids (hmm helicopter parenting/totalitarianism comes to mind there too), but for the majority it's about privacy and countering the rise of government and corporate totalitarianism.

Now that the veil of secrecy covering Thiel’s own private Bilderberg-like group has been removed, he has attracted even more criticism from the public.

So, is this the beginning of the Thielverse backlash?

@EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI@mastodon.bv.linksjugend-solid.de @phnt@fluffytail.org The media it comes on does not matter. I do enjoy a nice physical box as well. But physical releases can also contain DRM which is bad.
