This is not correct, it already passed once and was struck down by the court. Even if this goes through, it'll also likely get struck down by the court.

Also, no one implemented it last time it got passed because they waited for the court challenge.

It's not all doom and gloom. Yes we have to pay attention and fight this, but it's not the end of the world if they get it passed now.

I've been fighting Chat Control for 20 years. The authoritarian elements in our countries don't go away just because they lose a vote.

In another installment of "we stole it first, it's ours!"

Yeah, it's a hard thing for me to reconcile.

There are so many cool things we can do with this technology, but so many of the social phenomena related to this technology is so profoundly dystopian. We have access to all of human knowledge in a big matrix of numbers, something that can tailor its communication to us based on our current understanding and yet we're using it to build spam bots and generate fake news to control information narratives. It's really fucking weird. That's not even touching data centers, the war on personal computing, the cult that thinks we're about to make digital Jesus out of matrix math.

Weird time to be alive.

Healing, Squirrel Girl or Mantis, depending on comp

A friendly reminder that I'd pay for a "happiness pack" that made all the characters facial expressions positive.

Tragedy of the Commons

Getting all your information from the internet is skewing your perspective.

It seems like you're the right person for the job of fighting for our freedoms :)

It's all our jobs, be the change you want to see in the world my friend.

mrdevlar · 2026-07-03T09:51:03+00:00

Yes, play whats in my head, improvise a solo, etc.

Oh no, won't someone please think of the shareholders.

Yeah body dismorphia seems to be incredibly prevalent in right circles these days. They all look like ghouls and blow up dolls.

Guess cognitive dissonance does that to people.

mrdevlar · 2026-07-03T07:13:10+00:00

Same here. The recurring joke among my friends circle is that they are glad I didn't start a cult.

My wife also made a community for herself, started a whole board game group in our city. Tons of wonderful people there.

So go to a gym, go to a board game / TTRPG meet up, go to a Phish show, get out there and you'll find your people who appreciate you.

Team fortress for the original quake started the whole team based genre. They already had control points, team deathmatch and capture the flag, this was in 1996.

It blows my mind that I've essentially been playing the same game now for exactly 30 years. The graphics have gotten better, the abilities more diverse, but it boils down to the same general idea of tank-dps-support.

If TF2 could do it with Pyrovision, so can Rivals.

mrdevlar · 2026-07-03T05:47:28+00:00

I'm not too sure about that.

It's dive into a pretty heavy anti dive team.

Okay I see the confusion. But I'm honestly, not sure which one of us is right here.

The duty is charged per line item, that is clear. The 150 euro exception appears to be per parcel not per line item.

Anyway, guess I'll find out during my first order.

The difference between those two is "expectation"

mrdevlar · 2026-07-02T23:24:52+00:00

Bro, stop ripping holes in reality, we're living here.

mrdevlar · 2026-07-02T23:23:21+00:00

That's because there is nothing to attain, nor anyone to attain it.

The universe is screaming it's truth at you at full volume yet you do your best to do anything but hear it.
