But Black Dynamite, we’re on Epstein’s list.

Yeah, I’ll wager computer generated blur is easier to undo than real physics generated blur.

There was that Canadian a few years ago who used a swirly blur on a picture of him raping kids, and the German police reversed it and had him locked up.

Or indeed something that is really possible with anything. If it’s blurry it’s broken. Learn your camera settings and take another.

Yes but TikTok only let the evil Chinese spy on you, while the others only allow good old Uncle Sam to spy on you.

Ah who am I kidding, they’ll all hand your data over to any old cunt.

The only difference between alpha and release is the fixes needed to get through a sales demo.

Diablo 3 (pre-expansion) was built around trading though and it was fucking awful.

Farming Act 1 hoping for something you could sell to somebody else so you could buy that mythical Resist All gear in order to survive Act 2 made me quit in disgust. Drops were completely random, could be for any class and 90% of what dropped was no good for anyone.

Man, how did I forget those abominations?

Saved so much time and bandwidth reloading several kilobytes of headers and menus.

Regex, the write only language.

You don’t know what “rule” means? Ah, you’re a fucking meat circus mate.

It should work at 640x480 and no other resolution.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

There’s going to be a lot of shocked Pikachus when the inevitable enshittification hits, and suddenly they charge to host all the documentation and wiki pages. All that barely maintained stuff will just vanish overnight.

You don’t get to gatekeep leftism behind communism.

So that’s it, is it? I can support all the social progressiveness I like, but as soon as I balk at the prospect of an autocrat hosting a violent revolution and instating communism, I’m the enemy?

Here is the definition I run on: Anyone left of centre is left. Anyone reaching for the guillotines (or more likely just meming about them from a basement) is far left. So far left that they will never see power and see everyone right of them as an enemy.

So not what most people think of as “liberals” then.

Neoliberals are to liberals what National Socialists are to Socialists.

Take it back to the dictionary definition.

Liberal (noun)

1. a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Going by the first definition, that’s left. Even going by that second definition, I see three left policies and a right. That’s essentially a lefty being not left enough.

OK, I agree that libertarians are not liberals. They are mostly conservatives who don’t want to pay tax.

I’m still not following on why you don’t think Liberals are Left wing.

Have you lot just rebadged Libertarians?

Thank you for demonstrating my point without the slightest hint of irony.
