And it was appropriated and modified by the Christians (Christianity spread so fast and dominated so much I don't even know how, yes they colonised but how the hell did they assimilate the Romans so easily), but now it's been a consumerist holiday more than a spiritual one for about a century. Many cultures still celebrate it the Christian way, sure, and many just utilise it to buy their loved ones material gifts and get like gifts in return, more than focus on the now largely unnecessary celebration of surviving winter, or having close social connections.

If any flex is weirder than claiming that all lives deserve the same opportunities despite systemic racism affecting every aspect of the global majority and making said equity impossible at this current moment, it's claiming that all lives don't deserve the same opportunities and preferring a reversal of prejudice rather than the removal of it.
Maybe he's a fan of the game Observer - the idea of uploading consciousness is part of the plot
Well yes, the more CSAM detection and predator hunting, the better. Task forces and, dare I say it, detection programs with algorithms that may or may not include AI learning, are invaluable to eliminating the actually terrible stuff, anything that can't even be educational.
I believe the Online Safety Act and Chat Control's sections that tie every user's real identity to their online actions is not a solution, because when that data gets leaked and/or abused many innocent lives are in danger. I trust the state very little. I trust unidentified malicious hackers even less.
As much as I hate Reddit this is just continuation of the UK government steamrolling and destroying the free Internet, ruining the adult experience.
One of the wonders of the Internet was that it was wildly unregulated - if you wanted it and you could disable safesearch you could get it, with the caveat of ISP-enforced content locks on all mobile data subscriptions under the name of a legal child (under 18), workplace and school security and filters, unremovable Safesearch on most search engines etc. Broadband required an adult, who in turn could activate parental controls. I couldnt wait until I turned 18 so I could finally access many sites for porn, news, gaming, forums and anything containing keywords without being blocked. I had a list of proxies for bypassing school filters.
In short there is significant existing protection in place and we know that this is simply more evidence of Orwellian enforcement.
I also recommend Heroic Launcher - it can be used for Amazon and Epic if you have games with them, say free giveaways, but is great for GoG and manually adding installed Steam games. With some finicky steps I managed to get Sims 4 to launch from it. The FOSSibilities are endless
I use Freesm. Looks like ElyPL is geared for custom skins and externally hosted servers. Both is good I guess.
I own the game, I just don't like relying on server logins to fucking play single player/locally. Freesm lets you have the whole game without a M$ account. Combine that with a self-hosted server in offline mode and I can play multiplayer with an offline profile.
Yes, and their doc pages and personal site of the same name. Here's hoping they don't resurface the same code under a new name
+1 for 'lap dogg'

Fuck these pieces of shit dude. Fucking stop with the protecting children talk. It's all lies.
