I thought the danger was more… pornographic in nature

Eh, USA is a very fucked up place when it comes to how voting works. Rigged game, etc etc

In civilized places, optional voting is a right. In uncivilized places, optional voting is perfect for putting all sorts of barriers between the vote and the “undesirables” in a legal way.

The game looks PS1 as all hell and I love it. Kinda like a mix of Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve, I guess?

Depends on game and their skill, but I rarely go “full competitive”, since most of the time I’m also teaching the game anyway. Letting them win sometimes is important so they don’t drop the game immediately

Only got 69. Nice, but not perfect

The book is about an 18-year-old woman named Lucy who roleplays as a toddler with Arthur, an older man who is her father’s best friend.

Not my kink, but that shit is not CSAM either

Chisholm - who sat down to read the entire book - found the female protagonist was implied to be a child despite repeated references to her being 18.

I wonder how one can claim that a character in a book is a child despite repeated references to her being 18. Maybe he asked the characters’ parents or was suspicious when a fictitious character refused to show him an ID.

Even if she spoke like a child during sex as a consenting adult, that was role play which was legal, she put to the officer.

A Crime Stoppers complaint led police to find 16 hard copies of the book at Mastrosa’s home while executing a search warrant in March.

So, the only CSAM material found with her are copies of her own book.

I’m well aware that all my memories of Ragnarok Online are pure nostalgia. Grind grind grind grind grind. My 13yo mind found peace in that, for some reason.

I’d rather set a MUD as a chatroom instead.

Hmmm, I wonder how much work it’d be to create a Quake 3 or UT2004 map that’s essentially “VR Chat, minus VR”

Search whatever you’re looking for with yandex.com - they don’t block pirate sites. Be sure to have uBlock Origin on your browser, you WILL need it. Direct Download (ddl) sites can often have 3+ redirects before the actual, real download link, so it’s good to save favorites when it’s only 1

For shows, animes and movies, you’re better off finding streaming sites, which you can find above.

Lastly, telegram. Yes, the app. You can find several channels/groups that share stuff. I follow a couple that share IT/Gaming/Animation related courses. You can find series, animes and other stuff, too.

This. I live in Brazil, I torrent often and have never received any letter from my ISP or anyone. Close to 20 years now surfing the p2p waves.

Going from “only imperialist” to “imperialist nazi” doesn’t seem like a big difference. UK and France weren’t exactly known for thinking the natives of their colonies were humans.

Gotta protect whoever’s behind him with high speed steel plate to the face

As someone who didn’t have dualshock controllers back when I had the PS1, FPS games always felt awful. Most of the games had like L2/R2 for aiming up/down and L1/R1 for strafing, pretty sure Quake 2 was like that. I recall Medal of Honor had you hold R2 to fine aim with the d-pad

Yes, I alluded to that in the first comment

Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

I found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server

Huh, I didn’t know that, maybe that’s only with the docker image? If not, that’s bad news waiting to happen, I’m afraid :/

You can buy companies, organizations and people that run FOSS projects, thus buying the project. Audacity was bought and enshitified. SimpleApps suffered a similar fate on Android.

In both cases, the community forked the last “good” version and renamed the project

Not exactly as shown in movies and series, it’s usually that the kingpins buy out cops either as protection or informants, so they get a tip before actual raids happen and either GTFO or plan something different, like leaving an idiot with a small amount of drugs to keep some heat off.

Hell, imprisoned criminals will often sway wardens with their money. It happens quite often in Brazil, with prisoners using cell phones from within their cells.

Rocket.chat would be my first recommendation, tho it looks more corporate aimed. It also claims to support Matrix federation.

You could also give Jami a try, it’s p2p so it doesn’t need servers.

It’s voice chat features are lacking, it has no video chat yet

There’s rocketchat, too, which bills itself more corporately

Until some company buys it and then it has to rename again. Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier
