Meanwhile, FEMA emergency disaster shelter funds are currently being redirected (by noted puppy executioner Kristi 'ICE Barbie' Noem) toward building the 'Alligator Alcatraz' concentration camp by the Trump regime.

Nope, not making that up.

They are literally building a concentration camp in the middle of a swamp, with a literal alligator infested moat, reasoning that the alligators will eat anyone who tries to escape.

They're doing this with the money that is supposed to go toward flood and hurricane shelters.

For when you have no fucking clue how to do your job, and want authoritative, plausible deniability about that.

Ok, lets say theres a news story about people calling for violent resistance against fascists.

Can that be posted?

Can commenters make their own statements of support for this, in that thread?

This is basic logic, these rules do not make any damned sense, they are obviously contradictory when applied in the manner you are suggesting.

Also uh no, no .world does not actually have any specific rule that deliniates the distinction you've invented about violence being ok in news posts but not in comments.

Find me those rules.

Also... if? IF you were opposed to fascists?

Implying this is a stance that requires deliberation and contemplation?

Pretend you're a brown skinned American citizen who just got fucking illegally kidnapped on fabricated charges and deported to a foreign death prison complex for the rest of your life, which will probably be quite short.

This has already fucking happened.

Does this remind you of any historical events...

... Hendrik, from an obviously German lemmy instance?

Anything involving gas chambers, ovens, work camps?

Anything ringing a fucking bell?

... What?

I can post a news link to an article that is reporting on fascists violently absuing people.

That doesn't get reported, or banned.

I cannot, for instance, say in a comment:

'someone should kidnap and '''deport''' these ice agents'

or

'someone should tie them into to a wheelchair and throw them into a jail cell'

... Those are much more direct and specifc calls for violence than uh, quoting an American founding father talking about generalized forceful resistance of tyranny... and even those comments got deleted.

It is blatantly obvious biased censorship:

Discussions of the State commiting literally illegal, unjust violence?

Totally allowed.

Discussions of justly resisting said unjust violence, with the force required to be actually effective?

Forbidden. Cannot even allude to it.

This is not complicated or even interesting.

This is an obviously blatant double standard, like ... I can walk up to you and punch you in the face, and if you take a swing back at me, actually, you doing that is assault and now you go to jail.

Maybe this is lost on non Americans:

The fascist goons currently running around being violent thugs are routinely breaking all kinds of fucking pre existing laws, all the way up and down their chain of command.

Literally thousands, tens of thousands of times a day.

I guess people don't know this anymore but uh...

A server browser, where you can pick between official servers, and private, community servers... with their own mods or game modes or AC on or off...

This was the norm for multiplayer fps games for like 20 to 30 years.

Only fairly recently has everything become 'streamlined' by removing the server browser, just giving you access to various matchmaking queues, and oh AC is kernel level now also, even though it doesn't fucking work, as a quick websearch can find you...

Hacks and trainers that only work on Windows, that defeat all kinds of KnlAC, all the time.

Nobody makes or sells game hack trainer suites that properly work on linux, ironically you yourself would have to hack the hack to even try.

Or, you just basically plug your mouse/kb into a tiny raspberry pi type device that functionally middlemans your own pc, and the hacks run on that thing.

The only AC that could possibly catch that is a rigorous and well implemented serverside AC....

But netcode is too hard for modern devs, who just subcontract out as much work of all kinds as possible these days.

Or I guess you can uh, mandate that in addition to full access to your kernel, you also have to consent to having 3 webcams in your gaming zone at all times, or a fucking manual, in person contraband check/gaming zone inspection.

... and yes, if you get hired to dev a game and then fired after release, come on now, functionally, you are a contract worker, no matter whatever insane nonsense legal classification your job technically is.

I am so fucking tired of this discussion.

https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Go, go, look through this list.

With the exception of a few proprietary ACs, or just ancient ones...

Nearly every single AC has at least one, if not multiple, or even many instances of properly working on a game that runs on linux.

EAC and BattlEye have supported linux for 3 years now.

3 years.

Gonna be 4 in a couple months.

Its part of the liscensing that game studios pay for, they offer and support making builds that work on linux via Proton, offer to help game devs with any tweaks they may need to make.

This is, and has for years, just been as simple as management is telling devs not to bother with the fairly minor effort it would take to do this, at least with EAC and BattleEye.

AC works on linux, it doesn't need to finger fuck your kernel to do so.

Its just that most game developers (lets be real, their upper management / C Suite), only want to fully go in raw, or not at all, and Windows is giving it up on the reg.

I have worked in gaming, and I've already told you that, but you already said you don't read things that I write, so yeah.

And, yes, I am at this point being a dick, to you, on the internet, for sport, because you are so entirely disingenuous and full of shit that it is quite amusing to me.

I don't actually give a shit whether or not you in particular agree with me or like me or believe me... because its been clear from the get go that you are both woefully uninformed but also totally stubborn, obstinant and set in your opinion, and you aren't capable of discussing the technicals you claim to understand.

The other actual experienced software / server engineer in this thread also tried to reason with you, more politely, and you just took a rhetorical approach of overwhelming them with questions... so I am now overwhelming you with relevant info, and you don't like it.

You're now just mirroring some of my latest rhetorical approach back at me, albeit in very, very condensed form... you're not even clever at debating.

You are a power user that thinks themself to be a seasoned senior software engineer, but you're not.

But hey, since you asked me to stop, I will stop humiliating you now.

Toodles!

Oh god yes dear fucking lord.

I would say its astounding they haven't been banned, but they have a loooot of money, so, no, that makes perfect sense.

Yeah Scientology, is the most direct analogue to the insano cult shit in East Asia.

They stalk people, have probably assasinated people, imprison people in their little nonsense navy, buy entire city neighborhoods and all the local municipal politicians... got the insane alien religion, the fucking e meter cans things... entire thing is basically a massively gaslighty, manipulative and dangerous cult.

Got it, so we're allowed to post news articles on .world discussing facsists advocating for and directly enacting brutal violence... at a grand scale...

But unspecified, indirect references to the concept of violent resistance, self-defense, on a similar scale... nah, users can't do that.

You do not see a hypocrisy here?

A blatant and glaring double standard?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago

Well ayy, you beat me to making a PTB post on this, but uh yeah...

.world?

collaborating with and covering for fascists?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The 'Death Breathers' thing is a primary plot point /story device / world mechanic of the ludicrous, over the top, MARS ATTACKS! from 1996.

Just any case anyone hasn't seen it and wants to avoid spoilers, don't open this

Basically, it barely makes any actual sense, and... thats part of the point, to be a parody of how stupid 50s schlock alien movies were...

The Martians only breathe Nitrogen, and seem to asphyxiate if their helmets and pressure suits are removed or comprimised.

This makes no fucking sense whatsoever for multiple reasons:

Nitrogen is much, much less chemically reactive than Oxygen, and it seems quite unlikely that any kind of Nitrogen based metabolism could evolve basically anywhere, in any organic being, because of this...

Earth's atmosphere is like... ~70% Nitrogen.

Do... they... need literally 100% Nitrogen?

It... doesn't seem like the oxygen in the atmosphere is like... causing them to internally combust/melt the way say mustard gas, chlorine gas, makes a human melt from the inside out, by nature of being way way way more chemically reactive than oxygen.

What they do is act like ... they're asphyxiating, they gasp for air, not cough and vomit, eyes watering and burning/melting the way mustard gas fucks up people.

Also, at one point, a ludicrously disguised as a human, martian... is able to go undercover, with no protective pressure suit... because they have... chewing gum, that... releases nitrogen.

Again, if oxygen had a similar effect on them as chlorine gas has on us... this disguised martian should... still be basically burning/melting from being exposed to all the oxygen, and thats overlooking the ludicrousness of... nitrogen releasing chewing gum
