143, you are blocked for inane questioning.

Game's writing is secretly garbage and memes and deliberately unfinished worldbuilding exposition that pushes itself to the forefront, but the game's systems are actually so fun you barely notice it's still a D&D adaptation type game. That is until a perk fails to do the one thing it claims to do or you run out of things to do in it other than consume the plodding story or the side quests which center around finding out a type of guy exists.

Would definitely like to see more of these types of games so it makes me sad to see the misfortunes of the devs. Probably would get along with them and you can't say that about most Estonians

This is absolute coal but it is still a better caricature of disillusioned Marxist-Leninists than the peeping tom sniper in Disco Elysium.

Well this is the last thread where I want to open up possibilities of text editor drama, but it is Siyuan

I'm a vague motherfucker and sometimes I just get the feeling if I try to explain my three-quarters baked understanding of how intelligence works in academia and the tech or culture industry in an overtly benign way, I'm going to be tedious due to my lack of expert knowledge ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ like I should learn more first, to avoid being tedious

I said it was about fostering dependence on the cybersecurity community. To what end, I do not kniw. But getting people to cloudflare their sites is great for surveillance. Cybersecurity outlets are intensely political and pro west.

Private security contractors have noted that leftists use the internet archive more than anyone. I have been reading their papers about online extremism. Very bad people

I don't trust them considering their enthusiasm over it and the comments about Finnish history. Go read "Finnisu Civil War: History, Memory, Legacy" by Tepora and try to laugh at the comments about history. Impossible.

Eh, nuclear weapons are a paper tiger. Building them is profitable, not using them in a big flurry of apocalypse. Maybe a tac nuke in Lithuania, NATO would not dare respond. Zelensky should not use any nuclear payloads, not a silver bullet.

It's a horrifying prospect unless you just want to maintain access to natural resource and monopoly rents via international corps, offered up by whatever Navalny type they would want to take power.

Medvedev... yeah no way but it would be funny.

That's interesting because I remember reading that in 2022. Meanwhile Zelensky is publicly threatening to deploy "3 secret weapons" which he apparently discussed behind closed doors with western leaders who are responding negatively to this pronouncement (indicating an unwillingness to escalate)

Let's be for real, Russia could tac nuke a non NATO Eastern European country in response to whatever dual use weapons zelensky is talking about with a nuclear payload, and their chief worry would probably be the global backlash, not the threat of strategic nukes

Put down the washing machine memes and listen to the quieter admissions of Ukrainian soldiers. That's how I saw them throwing civilian bodies into a pit, gloating, before editing 30 min later to claim they took it off a Russian phone (despite visible armbands). Morale is breaking down, conscription is failing versus the Russian mercenary and volunteer partial mobilization. There is no political change coming in Moscow.

No I think it's about "context creation" as they call it. Like a protetection racket where payment is made in dependence on certain tools, that is intended to be used later. Good way to popularize leaks themselves

Lemmy needs way better management of uploads than a randomly created URL floating in the void. If you accidentally paste a picture of your face or dick it is just stuck there and you have to beg an admin to help. You don't even have to hit post.

Oh yeah I skipped over the Nazi microblog instances because they are pretty isolated and infighty. It's the full throated imperialists who ban anyone who talks about the genocide like anyone is responsible for it but the Palestinians.

They do actually often use EU laws to back up their censorship. They of course would never consider other hosting options. They are proud of the EU for some reason.

But whatever if that's what people decide "Mastodon" is going to be like there is a lot more to be done with ActivityPub services other than link it to your chosen flavor of microblogging, and it certainly doesn't need to have the sheen of Eugene Rotchko on it haha
