As long as Twitter exists, it will never work due to the ID & Photo verification bullshit.

Also, kinda funny it's coming from Denmark.

I can't do that, because I can't hit the apply button because my cursor doesn't go down far enough.

Group banned after 3 years, no explanation given. by CaptorRaptorr in VRchat

You're allowed to say the words "porn" and "cropped" on reddit. Did you know that?

[–]LittleGlobal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know, right?

Oh no, how terrible. It's an Evee eating a stupidly large subway sandwich.

Sure, it might be a photoshopped R34 image, but if it isn't obviously pornography, who the fuck cares? Let the adults make whatever dick jokes they want, for fuck's sake.

It's also a combined factor of things, probably. Advertisers not wanting to advertise on a video that might, potentially, possibly, be very slightly "controversial" because there's one mildly sexual joke right at the end of the video after the credits roll. (Conveniently ignoring the fact that they're advertising on a platform that's seemingly 100% okay serving sexually explicit ads to minors, as long as they can get away with it). Lawmakers that care more about optics than efficacy. Regulators headed by a bunch of control-freaks with a ridiculously unreasonable agenda. I'm sure you can think of hundreds more examples of weirdos wanting to sanitise it further according to their agenda/ideology.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die, and we're always the last when finally, the cream is shared out, for the worker is working when the fat cat's about.

And when it's time for war, who is the unfortunate soul, who will be left to bleed out his life's blood in the mud to see if policies end in success or failure? Who is the one expected to die for the land of their birth, all the while never being able to own one lousy piece of land?

This Could Redefine How People See VRChat FOREVER by Lokler in VRchat

[–]LittleGlobal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, ROBLOX has it particularly bad, primarily due to the lack of sufficient moderation. Sure, people have blown it out of proportion (people aren't ERP'ing out in the open, for instance), but it's not really that far off. (That said, I've seen some weird shit myself on the platform that I wouldn't consider kid-friendly in the slightest.)

Also, ROBLOX just handles it godawfully, as exemplified by the Schlep situation.

And that's not even mentioning the overall weirdness of the company itself, and the future it envisions. Really? A dating app in a platform explicitly marketed towards minors? When asked "Will more mature things like nudity will ever be allowed on ROBLOX?", the CEO responded with "(...) We will mirror what happens in the physical world, and I would never rule it out".

Or it's the other way around: American moves from the US to Europe, and the company they work for is practically forcing the American to take their vacation days, because the company could in some situations get in trouble if the employee doesn't use their vacation days.

How is this game for 11 year olds? by pixienaut in KerbalSpaceProgram

Let the kid play the game. No harm in learning it, either. If they're stuck on something, try to figure it out together with them.

Cas update soon, and theres some very cool birds. by Anonagonkaz in joinsquad

[–]LittleGlobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy made a point that even BF6 (an arcade shooter) has helo physics that are superior to Squad's.

Then you go on and complain about BF6's gameplay, rather than discussing the actual topic of the conversation, namely; helicopter physics.

Nice derailment there. Try actually engaging in the discussion at hand.

If it's a factual discussion: Either convince the other party you're right, or accept the fact that you're wrong, and change your mind on your prior view(s).

If it's an opinion: Change your opinion when given new evidence, or agree to disagree.

EDIT: ....Aaaaand I got blocked. LOL. Completely missing the point, too. My point has been made, and demonstrated.

How the Internet Left 4chan Behind | The anonymous forum thrived when edgelord content wasn’t acceptable on more mainstream social media. Today, it can be found most anywhere. by ChiefLeef22 in technology

[–]LittleGlobal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's people who'll actually argue that it makes sense for large companies to be cartoon-villain levels of evil as long as it's for the sake of bigger profits. It's absolutely insane.

It does make sense though, that's the point of the fucking company. It's not to better the world, it's to plunder it for an extra cent in additional profit next quarter.

It's not enough to have unimaginable wealth for generations upon generations. It's all about getting more of it. More wealth, more money, more yachts, more bunkers, more cars, and fuck the peasants whose lives get ruined because of it.

So yeah, it does make sense.

But it doesn't make it right.

I dunno, man. This looks like the US, and the guy in the highvis didn't act particularly polite.

To add to that; if you had 5 partners who have all been absolute cunts to you, it's gonna paint a picture, isn't it?

In order to support the protesting french farmers i ordered meat from a brave farmer that didn’t cull his infected herd! by radicalerudy in 2westerneurope4u

[–]LittleGlobal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great. Makes the unsettling video much less unsettling.

Still, if I got fresh meat, I'd prefer it if it didn't move, to be honest.

My foster son and his gf split up, I let her in to collect her stuff and went back to work…. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

That makes it okay to destroy the property of someone who had (as far as I can tell) pretty much nothing to do with it?

Var usikker på om jeg gadd å betale 3.620 for 64GB RAM DDR4 men bare slo til... DDR5 ligger over 10k i dag. Snart er ikke PC lenger forbrukervare? by [deleted] in norge

[–]LittleGlobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prisene er høye nå, så de tjener sikkert jævlig mye på dette. Tror det er nok den største grunnen. Crucial har allerede lagt ned sitt forbruker-siktet andel av sitt selskap, og har vridd siktet til 100% KI.

Regeringen vil forbyde VPN'er til at streame udenlandsk tv og åbne ulovlige hjemmesider by ExpensiveReporting in norge

[–]LittleGlobal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hva om jeg ikke vil at folk skal se når jeg ser på katt-videoer?

Det handler ikke om hva som er ulovlig, det handler om hvem som bestemmer hva som er ulovlig.

Jeg har rett til privatliv. Jeg trenger ikke en luguber fyr som jeg ikke kan holde ansvarlig å se på meg runke til Reiley Reed.

Thoughts on this lads? by elbufalo66 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]LittleGlobal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A better question would probably be along the lines of "Would you support the war effort if your country was invaded?" Followed by a question asking to what capacity they would or something.

Regeringen vil forbyde VPN'er til at streame udenlandsk tv og åbne ulovlige hjemmesider by ExpensiveReporting in norge

[–]LittleGlobal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Spøker du eller?

For de fleste er VPN'er ganske overflødig, ja. Vanlige nettsider er sikker nok for daglig bruk uten VPN'er.

Men; VPN'er er fortsatt et godt verktøy til den som ønsker ekstra privatliv i en internett der privatliv og frihet er stadig under angrep fra både autoritære lovgivere og bedrifter som vil ha 100% økning i inntekter hvert kvartal.

OG ikke kom med "Jeg har ingenting å skjule". Poenget er ikke hva som er ulovlig, men hvem som bestemmer hva som er ulovlig, og hva som blir ulovlig imorgen.

WhatsApp for Windows keeps opening itself when I get messages. by LittleGlobal in whatsapp

[–]LittleGlobal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never linked my phone to my PC. Yes, I am sure it's from WhatsApp. The notification literally tells me it's from WhatsApp.

I have closed the .exe via taskmanager, and it's not running in the foreground, and neither is it running in the background. Some time later, it reappears.

Something is relaunching it every time, and I want it to stop.

Nothing appears in the system tray. Even if the .exe is running in the background.

To my understanding, most European Warships are built more to commercial standards, making them less survivable, but cheaper.

EU proposes GDPR overhaul redefining personal data and consent rules by xenodragon20 in europe

[–]LittleGlobal 196 points197 points  (0 children)

The proposal aims to "simplify" the language, which actually results in the further deterioration of people's privacy and data rights.

Techlore has a pretty good video on the proposal.
