- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 2 days ago:
“A solarpunk polity would replace centralised forms of state government with decentralised confederations of self-governing communities […]”
Stalin notoriously loved checks notes heavily decentralizing government power akin to anarcho-communism.

It’s good to see a politician who actually stays informed about these kinds of issues.

Who still writes letters anymore? Uh… A lot of people? Especially sitting senators to massive, multi-billion-dollar corporations? Would you have preferred they go on some shitty social media platform to “ayo get your shit together fr fr”? Fellas, is it
gaypretentious to use your position in government to bring attention to an issue? Have you never written a letter? -
One of the reasons a neo-Nazi fuck just won the election is because these online spaces allow fascist rhetoric to run rampant. You’re bringing up a borderline nonsensical edge case to justify why action shouldn’t be taken in 99.999% of cases.

Writing coherently about an actual issue facing a platform like Steam actually shows that he’s more in-touch than most politicians. You sound deeply insecure.

I don’t think you can block yourself. Maybe ask the Lemmy devs to implement it?

A US senator can absolutely, unambiguously write to a private corporation in an unofficial capacity asking them to more strictly moderate their platform. You’re just parroting “muh freeze peach” having zero idea where that starts and ends.

>Owned by an asset management company that also owns e.g. online gambling sites.
>No indication of authorship
>Almost immediate, jarring, and lengthy tangent into “applicable regulations” and privacy policies/data handling
>When we established the Company [emphasis on the capital ‘C’
Yup, this was written by a legal team masquerading as someone who actually cares about the platform.
- Comment on Russia skirts sanctions, acquires Nvidia and AMD chips through Dell servers from India 3 weeks ago:
It’s still worth noting that this objectively drives up the cost for Russia compared to simply purchasing these directly. These servers went from Dell, through Malaysia, to an Indian pharmaceutical company, and then onto Russia. This accomplishes a few things:
- It drives up the actual monetary cost through logistics.
- It limits the amount of material Russia can reasonably get their hands on in a given time period by effectively “narrowing the pipe”. So even if they can get their hands on some of it, it’s almost assuredly reduced from what they otherwise could.
- It means that loopholes are fewer and more far between and can therefore actually hurt Russia if they’re identified and closed. This closure can add additional latency too while Russia searches out a new bypass.
- Comment on Latest Windows 11 preview update is causing widespread system crashes and failures 1 month ago:
Weird, I haven’t been experiencing any of this. Am I still at risk of running into this issue if I haven’t seen it so far? I don’t use this shit-ass OS, if that helps.
