The Doom community has had random level generators for over a decade without any modern AI garbage involved.

Sorry buddy, but that capitalistic framework is where we all have to exist for the forseeable future.

Giving corporations more power is not going to help us end that.

Sexy, though I personally would have went with some Oracles or Link's Awakening art instead of Breath of the Wild.

Yes, as I already addressed. But it's important to understand the way the other side frames this shit, and they absolutely framed it as attempts to cancel him.

They asked for an example of "cancel culture" and I gave one of the few these people cite that isn't absolutely batshit or racist.

You're welcome to your opinion, but I feel the bolded section is distinctly relevant.

If you want privacy, don't admit to a crime and tell the cops where to find the evidence. Privacy starts at home with proper OPSEC.

That's the story. It has very little to do with the specific crime committed.

The cops did as the cops do: if they are given a lead, particularly by the perp themselves, they investigate. To not do so would be to not do their job.

There was no new precedent here. This was not some brand new enforcement of a new law, and the chats were not the definitive evidence in the trial. Cops using Facebook chat transcripts were likewise not something newly established in this case.

The rest is me emphasizing that this lady was not a martyr, with the jeans comment being the least damning part of it all. Meant as a lead up to the bold.

She overwhelmingly had the ability to do what she needed to do, safely and legally. That has to mean something. And if it doesn't mean shit to you, I know for a fact it means something to the people who want to take your reproductive rights away, or to ignore the very real dangers you're worried about.

That said this is not the first step down that slope that you're acting like it is, and it is not some datapoint on a downward trend towards what you are afraid of. This is a intersection of already existing problems that someone thought they could spin for clicks and emotion bait, and it overwhelmingly worked.

Stay safe, take steps to prevent ending up in that situation, only discuss dangerous shit using safe protocols, and for fuck's sake don't tell the cops where the evidence is.

Shitposting?

Example: Terry Crews speaking out about his own experiences with sexual assault. Also him calling for black men to step up and be father figures in communities lacking them.

You can argue that he wasn't truly "cancelled", but he drew a lot or fire for those. People claiming that he was somehow taking away from womens' experiences by speaking about his own, and people saying that his statements about a lack of father figures in the African American community was racist.

It's not just white people wanting excuses to be racist. Just mostly that.

Uhhh... if that's the situation that blew up on lemmy shortly after the reddit API-pocalypse, that specific one probably isn't something you want to rally behind.

That situation occurred in Nebraska, before the messy Roe v Wade repeal. At the time, abortions were 100% legal and available until the end of the 20th week (5th month) of pregnancy, far past the point that anyone shouldn't be aware they are pregnant.

Beyond that, fetuses are considered viable outside the womb at 24 weeks (6 months). They show clear signs of conciousness before this point.

This woman waited until week 28. Two months past the point it could have been done legally and safely by a doctor. One month past the point of being viable to survive outside the womb. No US state has ever allowed abortions that late into the pregnancy.

The way she performed the abortion was to take medicine to kill the fetus. She still had to go through the normal process of labor and delivery (of the stillborn) afterwards, without any medical assistance. She and her mother then burned the stillbirth and buried it on a farm.

At that moment, if she had had labor induced, she could have went through the same process in a safer manner, and given the resultant baby up for adoption. She had roughly two months left until she would have given birth naturally. Going through labor in the manner that she did does not sidestep any of the postpartum medical and health stuff that happens after a normal pregnancy either.

This also ignores all of the many contraceptives available to help prevent pregnancy in the first place as well.

The only change was causing extra danger to herself, two months of time, and whether or not a living baby existed at the end.

She and her mother discussed their plans at length on Facebook messenger, before Facebook implemented end to end encryption. One of the last comments is of the woman stating she couldn't wait to wear jeans again.

When questioned by police, they admitted to their actions, and admitted to discussing it on Facebook messenger. That is the reason the cops even got the subpeona for the chat logs. They told the cops where to look for evidence of their crime, and the cops followed normal investigative protocol.

Don't talk to cops.

Privacy is important, but that was not the narrative of some downtrodden freedom seeker's rights being infringed upon by regressive right wing policy, the surveillance state, or anything else that a lot of people took it to be.

Too late. If you're in the US, it is officially known that the feds already can record roughly half of all national internet traffic. AT&T room something or other.

The current saving grace is that the amount of data generated over time is outpacing increases in the ability to store and analyze it all. God forbid that ever changes.

Also, people change over time, and more and more of our lives are ending up online earlier and earlier.

Do you really want some stupid "hot take" you were passionate about as a teenager effecting how someone sees you a decade or more down the line?

Everyone deserves the right to change their mind and not have old beliefs hang around their neck forever.

Lol yeah. I feel like Lupin OPs are either goofy as shit like the OG or some sweet ass music.

Ehhhhh.... that's a pretty shit take. Any site that allows uploads of files "allows" uploads of CSAM? See how that breaks down immediately?
