Yup, but it only matters if you have the means to argue it in court.

Yes, thay’s totally what’s going on here. I shudder whenever I need to use the restroom, because I can’t bear the thought of catching a glimpse of my own genitals. Every morning shower is a panic attack. Intimate moments with my wife are a traumatic blur of shame and disgust.

Or maybe, just fucking maybe, there’s a massive goddamn difference between plain nudity and sexualized content and twitch has already shown many many times that it can’t be trusted to moderate that distinction.

Fucking hell this is exhausting. There’s incredibly few people opposed to this due to puritanical concepts of “dear god not a female nipple!”, and a shit ton of people tired of the constant forward march of increasing sexualization of everything. Y’all need to stop fighting imaginary enemies.

If you want to jerk it to something there is more porn available for free online than anyone could consume in a lifetime.

Thank you for self selecting out of the discussion, although I don’t understand your need to broadcast it.

Legitimately confused here. Did you think making this comment would make you look cool, get you upvotes or something?

Adds nothing to the conversation unless you’re willing to expand on why that phrase affected you the way it did.

Fuck it. Lets throw some sass. Did it hit too close to home, or do you just assume there’s enough people who have the same views as you that they’ll understand your vague as hell attempt to throw shade?

There’s a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I’m exhausted by people like you pretending there isn’t and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.

It’s some disingenuous bullshit that I’m having a harder time believing isn’t intentional muddying of the waters by coom brained porn addicts the more I hear it repeated.

If you think that plain nudity made twitch rescind this, or that the majority of people against this shit are against nudity itself, you’re sorely mistaken. I’m tired of sexualized content fucking everywhere, especially on video sites like youtube and Twitch that have content that targets children (most game streams and video content) right the hell next to people doing bikini jumping jacks in the shower.

Porn exists. I enjoy it. I don’t need the lines blurred between it and other content by people out to make a quick buck off the pathetic people being tricked into paying for it by parasocial grifting.

Context matters, and Twitch already had a glut of streamers using it purely as an on ramp to their OnlyFans and other paypig sites before this harebrained shit.

Thank you for acknowledging this. So many people grossly oversimplify objections to this into some sort of prudish anti-nudity thing. That’s not it, they’re arguing against strawmen.

I have an issue with the ongoing sexualization of content available to children, and I have precisely negative faith in Twitch’s ability to properly discriminate between “artistic” and not.

“Our robots will cost less than half of minimum wage per hour to run! But don’t worry, we definitely won’t continue optimizing our profits.”

If enough of an industry takes the same customer hostile action at once, customers effectively have no option but to accept it, allowing industries to move the needle on what is considered acceptable through coordinated action.

On paper they’re competitiors, but when there’s an option that benefits the profits of all of them they don’t hesitate to “enrich” themselves and coordinate.

I do this shit for a living. Unless you were actively doing file moves then explorer crashing didn’t cause the data loss.

You really need to do a health check on your drive(s), and you can install Teracopy for faster file move operations that aren’t reliant on explorer staying up.

Or you can wait for the inevitable workaround to make Win 10 pull updates from the extended support channel for free.

There’s no reason for anyone but the non-tech savvy to care about this. Just like every time before it’ll be a simple registry tweak to make Windows Update pull from the extended support channel.

Now there’s an alternative if you want to do it officially or aren’t as tech savvy. Don’t see this as anything but a win, despite the way the article is framing it.

This is absolutely nothing new, and the workaround is usually just a small registry tweak so Windows Update pulls from the extended support patches “channel”. Same thing happened with Vista, 7, and 8.

Alternatively there are ways to download from the Windows Update servers using plenty of third party tools. It’s a neccessity if you’re going to streamline patches into your install media to save the post install mess of waiting for it to download and install all the updates that have come out since they first made the install .iso

Every time this has occurred before, there’s been a very easy registry tweak to make Windows Update pull these “paid extended support” patches for free.

The fuck are you talking about wrt Cyberpunk? It was already the trademarked name of the boardgame that all this new shit draws from, the boardgame that coined the fucking term in the first place.

2077 and its spinoffs are literally set in the boardgame universe and an updated rulebook was released at the same time as the game.

2077 and Edgerunners are just stories set in the setting and universe from the boardgame. The Arasaka Tower Heist, Johnny Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, all the corps, gangs, and cyberware are right from the boardgame. The story had heavy involvement from the creator of the board game as well. For fucks sake he does the voice of Maximum Mike on the in game radio.

Did people not realize that Cyberpunk 2077 is just another Witcher situation, but this time the original author wanted to stay a part of things?

What other, better options exist for allowing friends and family you are not in daily contact with to keep up with the goings on in your life that you choose to share?

Legitimately I’m wondering how most people are keeping in touch nowadays. What other systems have people moved on to? What manual processes are people using?

The most basic argument for ads that I’ve heard is that they can inform consumers of options they would not otherwise be aware of. Not unreasonable, competition can only exist if people are aware that alternatives exist.

But that’s not how ads are used or the psychology and research put behind them. And the modern incarnation of capitalism as infintiely growing profits above literally all else puts too much skin in the game for companies to make “purely informative” ads. Ugh. Fuck ads.

After the last controversy around him, I’d take everything they release with a huge mound of salt.

Linus Media Group’s main goal is to maintain their break neck schedule of releasing content, not to ensure 100% accuracy or that they’ve properly listed all caveats. Not to say that they don’t care about accuracy, but that it is greatly eclipsed by their release schedule.

In addition to this, I saw some nieces ~8 and ~4 years old on Thanksgiving, and their parents have given them tablets (because that’s a fucking great idea). Watching them play games on them with ads after every single level, and watching their reaction to the ads, hammered in that they are the target audience for the inane mobile ad mess.

Obviously the ad tactics work on some adults, but they are pure crack for the young kids. “I don’t know why they keep showing us these people who don’t know how to play the game! Mama, can I play (blah)?”

There may be a moment coming not too far off where beauty is just not a human thing anymore. Which may be catastrophic (like people can’t have sex with each other anymore) or oddly liberating.

Here’s a somewhat related article that brings up how this is already happening without AI in the movie industry: Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny

I would love to never have somewhere I needed to be when weather made driving dangerous.

Unfortunately most people don’t have that kind of freedom to always be able to leave early enough before bad weather starts, or to stay where they’re at during bad weather until it ends.

Best most people can do is drive more carefully and slow down as appropriate for the visibilty.
