The GUARD Act’s sponsors claim it will keep our children safe, but that’s not true. It will undermine safety and autonomy by replacing parental guidance with government mandates and building mass surveillance infrastructure instead of privacy controls. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
A Surveillance Mandate Disguised As Child Safety: Why the GUARD Act
A new bill sponsored by Sen. Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Britt (R-AL), Sen. Warner (D-VA), and Sen. Murphy (D-CT) would require AI chatbots to verify all users’ ages, prohibit minors

I really hate how Call Of Duty just sucks the oxygen out of the room. So, the campaign in the annual corporate franchise sucks this year? There's been more words written about that than probably EVERY OTHER FPS RELEASED THIS YEAR COMBINED.
And there have been so goddamn many, and so many great ones

Honestly not enough people talk about how Kirby Air Riders is a game that was designed essentially like it was still 2004 but it did well, got rave reviews and sold pretty good too. Shows that we could have kept making games the way we did in the 00s and it would've been just fine.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

Let’s talk about “Move fast and break things.” First of all, Facebook itself changed its motto to “Move fast with stable infrastructure” in 2014. So much for breaking things, at least if you’re a soulless corporate behemoth.

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

Landlords: That doesn't sound right. We should fund another pilot study on tax breaks for landlords
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Baffling to me as it has not only been an enormous hit, but might be one of the most interesting survival-crafting games ever, especially once you start dimension-hopping.

Absolutely disgusting. And vile that Roblox is PROUD of this. Reminder that until earlier this year it was completely ILLEGAL to require verification like this. Corrupt Court overturned that. It should be illegal. Violates out constitutional rights
