While I agree in that patriarchy should be ended I'd like to ask that users kindly refrain from misandry as fearmongering generates a positive feedback loop for the far right extreemists to exploit and especially in our current environment the cringe manosphere.

Please instead consider using empathy and compassion or directly targeting flawed falacious arguments as this will help empower women to empower men to empower women. Thus breaking free from the cycle of needless hate and violence.

    If it was a few drops of water, using the corner of a paper towel to get into the port and leaving it near a fan or something should dry it fairly quickly.

    I'd also recommend using silica gel/desiccant instead of using rice for drying electronics as rice will do jack shit.

    Honestly that's the same with one of our friends.

    He got sucked into the LLM rabbit hole and now just occasionally says some weird shit no one interacts with.

    I have a feeling that brainrot is accelerated in these kinds of people due to a positive feedback loop as they become ostracized due to a noticible "self-deterioration".

    Use LLM -> become brainrot -> can't connect with others -> use more LLM -> become more brainrot -> more ostracized from society -> ad nauseum.

    I don't even have to search. I already know it'll be preinstalled/hidden opt-out based on current tech industry trends :/

    I'd usually say that "I'm hoping for the best, prepared for the worst" but honestly at this point I think I have 0 hope, and I'm only prepared for the worst.

    Oh shit

    This will undoubtedly have a major impact against Microsoft and even perhaps Google.

    AI-powered productivity features.

    Everything is pretty sweet except ^the AI productivity features. Hopefully the AI portions are optional opt-ins rather than it being preincluded opt-outs.

    Feel free to disagree as I still think it's important to try our best even for the UK petition as UK gamers will be shown how their government acts when it comes to the ownership of their games.

    If the UK's government acts like a clown, I'm not sure UK's gamers/Helldivers will take it so easily.

    I'll attempt to echo Ross Scott:

    The approximate end goal of the Stop Killing Games intiative is to:

    • prevent publishers from killing games where consumers/gamers were not informed briefed that what they paid for was a live service game.
    • and/or have the live service game in any manner of a playable state when they decide to pull the plug.

    As to how the UK's government will respond will be up to them.

    Will they come in clutch for Divers, UK consumers, and fellow gamers? or will they fumble the ball?

    • It's up to them to decide how they should act.
