Tencent only owns 20% of Discord's shares, hardly a controlling amount. If you really don't want to give a dime to Tencent (and I certainly don't), you'll pretty much have to stop using the internet or playing video games.

This would mean that anybody ever selling any firearm for any reason will have to register as an FFL? How asinine would that be lol. Either used firearm costs would plummet, as everyone selling would gradually lower the cost of the gun if they resold it, or nobody would ever sell their guns, which would be wasteful and anti-free trade.
It's also quite possible that many of the people downvoting me are Europeans or Canadians or something. Keep in mind that the US remains to this day somewhat of a novelty in its approach to rights. In most other democracies, rights are not considered inherent, but are rather granted to citizens by the government. In the US, rights are considered inherent, and the Bill of Rights actually limits the Government rather than grants said rights to the people.
Right? There should be zero new gun regulations until law enforcement actually starts enforcing the ones already on the books.
False. Congress banned the CDC from doing this kind of research. The FBI does perform crime statistics analysis as part of it's Congressional mandate, available at https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov. I am well aware of the stats myself, and there is no correlation between violent crime rates and increased firearms regulations. If you are going to violate people's constitutional rights, you damn sure better have stats to back it up. At the very least.

Updates that change the .exe will always cause incompatibility with F4SE mods until F4SE can release a .dll update. Usually happens pretty fast though.
Keep in mind that Steam Deck compatibility/verification is a lot more than just performance. It also entails controller support, UI/UX scaling and compatibility, and functionality, like being able to pause when the steam deck goes to sleep.
Fallout 4 already works pretty well on deck vanilla, even better with some mods. But it's always good news when devs take the steam deck into consideration. Also good news for linux gaming in general.
That's a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn't mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF's reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.
Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.
No other constitutional right is as heavily-regulated as the Second Amendment. The idea that one needs to ask permission from the government before exercising a constitutionally-protected right is anathema the entire concept of inherent rights.
Are there any actual statistics that show that this new regulation will decrease illegal gun sales? AFAIK law-abiding citizens already follow the law. All this will do is once again increase the burden placed on people trying to practice one of their constitutional rights. Unless you can provide statistics that indicate this will actually work?
A violent riot is not the same as terrorism.
