I still am struggling to find articles that actually delve into the technical details of how they’re blocking and if it’s any more complicated than a DNS-level block or if they’re also demanding to block that IP range or what. I want to know who the third parties are and what kind of services they’re offering that allow it to be routed around. Damn not being able to speak Portuguese, that’s on me.

Soon the predatory loan industry will just be the loan industry because poor people won’t be able to afford food without one.

A roundhouse kick to the neck!

Doctors with Borders Made for Them.

Forgive me, but to me not experiencing sexual attraction reads the same as “not being interested” because you don’t experience sexual attraction. (Why would you be interested in something you have no attraction to?) Cheers.

Not being interested in sex is different than not being interested in a game? That’s how I read it, anyway. Apologies if it came off otherwise.

I don’t play Kart or Smash because I don’t own Nintendo consoles anymore and haven’t in a hot decade.

I guess that just makes me old ha. An old fogey not in the streets or in the sheets.

Welp, you don’t get a choice, you’re asexual now whether you like it or not. Meme says it, so it’s true.

Be, uh, careful with that barrel roll.

Kirby for smash

Lula doesn’t seem quite as straightforwardly pro-Russia as Bolsanaro was, but its very clear their economic association with Russia makes them unable to truly be neutral arbiters of the situation, no matter how much Lula wants to present Brazil as attempting to be neutral.

It’s probably more familiar with trashbat.co.ck

Kind of like the BBC has their own Mastodon server instead of being on someone elses.

Who the fuck wants celebrities here?

This is a good thing.

Blahaj is not unmaintained but it only upgraded from 0.19.3 a few weeks ago. They are always a tad behind, and so I think calling them “unmaintained” is a bit much.

Megan Ellison sounds like a terrible chip off the old block of Larry Ellison.

This sucks for all the developers and sucks for the people who resigned since Ellison obviously doesn’t care about their concerns.

People like you describe don’t want to play the game

I think this is part of the problem I have.

Are they still pressing buttons and making input? Yes.

Thus, they’re still playing the game.

If you want to sound less judgmental, stop saying they’re not “playing” it or that “they don’t want to play it” just because they’re not “playing it the way I think is right.”

If you really think its okay, accept that when they are still pressing buttons and interacting with the game, they are still functionally playing the game. Not playing the game is watching a Let’s Play.

It’s a pointless distinction rooted in treating people who want an easy mode as “lesser” because “they don’t want to actually play the game.” Sorry, sick of hearing it worded this way.
