Brain fog and dissociation is going crazy rn, plus I'm high on pain meds too and lethargic because period. Will probably go to bed soon and let myself pass out for the night lmao.

When are we gonna get a steam slate, which is just a steamOS (true Linux) phone, instead of android/iOS slop? Surely it's coming soon, right? Please?

It's just another way in which losers make shit up to make fun of people. Eventually, those sorts of accusatory words will have all the same sting as calling someone "lame", and language will evolve around the newly-created gaps in our lexicon.

who is this diva?

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

Anime is one of the most popular forms of media in modern society today, yet somehow my pfp has had two people accuse me of being a predator, recently.

It's kind of funny that there's never been a better time to be a gamer while the AAA gaming industry has never been so dire.

now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again. tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Extremists have poisoned the well for what the term "conspiracy theory" actually means. It just means that someone has theorised that there is a conspiracy occurring, often between rich and powerful people. Whether or not a conspiracy theory turns out to be accurate depends on evidence.

"People against Digital ID are pedos" okay why don't they arrest us all then. We all literally gave information to petition against it and we're not hiding.

Steam controller, steam machine, and steam frame announced for release early 2026! That's exciting!

Find yourself a partner who loves you as much as UK news headline writers love the word “chaos”.

Why do you think one of the highest rated lesbian manga series is CSEM, though? There's no porn in the series. In fact, the manga series where my pfp is from is for sale in Waterstones. Do you seriously think Waterstones would sell CSEM? Huge accusation. www.waterstones.com/book/the-guy...

"People who are against fascistic tools of oppression are pedos and conspiracy theorists." Since we're lobbing around serious accusations, here: You'd have been an incredible asset to the German government in the 1930s.

Blair, Starmer and co. keep on talking about how we need to adopt digital ID technology, so that the UK doesn't get left behind on the global stage and blah, blah, blah. Except this vision doesn't seem to align with the vision of the future put forward by Ofcom and their Online Safety Act nonsense.

I don't keep my VPN active 100% of the time, especially not on PC because it can get in the way of a few things, like Steam acts weird when my VPN is active. So I only turn it on, on PC, when necessary. Basically keep it on, on my phone all of the time now, though.

I'm so happy to see lefties shitting on Labour MPs on this app, especially whenever these donkey MPs talk about how great the OSA is. Gives me the tiniest glimmer of hope. When I want more hope, I go to the other app and see people to the right also giving Labour MPs a piece of their mind too.

if you don't support state surveillance and censorship then obviously you must love nigel farage and want kids to view pornography! i fucking hate labour so much. they're just absolute pricks.

There are wider issues around digital literacy, knowledge of parents to set up parental controls, balancing protection with privacy. We have already seen a bundle of data breaches regarding age verification. Do children need to be protected, yes, but there are wider considerations at play.

The problem with the OSA, is that it is legislation that has been subject to scope creep and by constantly framing it under the lens of "Protecting the Children" has diminished any oversight and meaningful debate on what it means. I've sat in interesting convos about the failure of this policy,

Can you explain how requiring children to submit their parents' credit card details into steam so they can play Minecraft or Palia or Wildmender or Squirrelled Away with friends is in any way helping children? All you're doing is losing their votes, by alienating them from their friends.

Please actually talk to someone who understands technology. The OSA is terrible, and it's set to get even worse, as Ofcom are going to require us to submit ID to play bloody Animal Crossing online with friends. How the heck is this protecting children?

Renamon! #digimon #fanart

If I look a bit chaotic in terms of politics right now, it's because I've been thoroughly blackpilled by everything recently. Fully aware that I'm running about like a headless chicken, trying to navigate this new state of being. Apologies for any confusion during these unprecedented times lol.

wip

Jfc, we really are making an enemy out of the US right now, aren't we? Ofcom throwing their weight around, trying to destroy the 1st amendment with the OSA. Now this bs that will undoubtedly increase the cost of the TV licence exponentially, in a time where everyone has already had enough of it.

#SaveSpeech Chat Control is rearing its head again, with EU lawmakers trying to now argue in favor of a version of the legislation focused on "voluntary chat moderation", which is still a gross violation of privacy. EU citizens, contact your MP/MEPs! netzpolitik.org/2025/interne...

I thought yall could use some motivation!⭐

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.

#savespeech #NotoDigitalID #DONOTCOMPLY UK. You are up next. The UK gov. amd OfCom has gone insane and power hungry. -Global overreach on Online ID Mandates w/Online Safety Act - Forcing in Digital ID. - Poisoning other countries w/similar laws. Call your MPs: members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

Mandatory digital ID for all, but no phones for school kids. Also we’re making it so you can’t access the internet without giving all your information to the makers of Fortnite.

i really zoomed out

I know it's not like the government/Ofcom is picking on me in specific, that'd be crazy, but it's hard to not feel a little like that sometimes. Wanted to give a go of content creation, with pseudonymity to protect myself, government says I need to dox myself.

Grumpy and extra asocial because I'm due on my period anytime now, and it's super uncomfortable. 😩

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦 #birds

Enshrouded has introduced a new biome, the Veilwater Basin, as part of the Wake of the Water update in Embervale. This late-game area features sandy beaches, bamboo forests, and numerous lakes for fishing.

Enshrouded update!! Ahhhhh!!

This cyberdeck is actually so bloody cool. youtu.be/PD6hc0kCIvU?...

This link is blocked because of the Online "Safety" Act btw. When are we going to protest Ofcom's bullshit?? These busybody freaks are murdering the internet.

The knee-jerk reaction to "banning" is always the same "but... VPNs" Ok, so what do you think will happen next? I'll tell you what happens next, a secret technical capability notice (TCN) happens next, and things don't go well.

It'll be interesting to see where all of this ends up with the UK's Online Safety Act and how it gets handled from a technical perspective. I suspect it'll continue to escalate, until it gets to a very bad place, I can't see the UK backing down, but we'll see.

I've not been keeping up on the shitty online safety act lately, otherwise ofcom's creepy stalker behaviour might actually finish me off, so I only heard about the recent expansion from Cyber Waffle's newest video.

VTuber says she can’t even watch her own Twitch streams due to UK law “I shouldn’t have to VPN my own content […] they know I’m of age as you have to send info when you onboard as a partner, even as an affiliate so none of this makes sense.”

I don't like how twitter displays articles, so here's a screenshot of the original post and the headline. It's a very important point, especially in conjunction with data breaches. What happens when abuse is so bad that the victim needs to go into hiding, but then their new ID info is leaked?

I went to the doctor with hearing problems. He said "can you describe the symptoms?" I said "Homers a fat dude and Marge has blue hair".
