13 downvotes, zero replies. Interesting.
I do not care. I've seen and felt personally the effects of Pornography, and I will never back down against it.
To be clear, I do not believe the government should be allowed to censor media, or that the whatever American political party is behind a law.
All I know is that as long as children have access to pornography, I will fight to my dying breath against it.
Why? Simple. I do not want another human being to experience what I have.
So, downvote me all you like.
I wish everyone a pleasant day.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My setup (it has been destroyed by Gabe)
As someone who has struggled with addiction to lust and pornography from a very young age, I'm disappointed by some of the reactions I'm seeing here.
Prince of Persia looks super cool and is dirt cheap right now. I'll for sure check it out.
2, Brotherhood and Revelations are all Ezio trilogy, right? So is it more content or more of the same.
FC4 is getting some rave reviews
Def gonna check it out on steam. (Better deals) Thanks for the confirmation tho. Have a good one
Splinter cell looks super cool, I'm about to buy watch_dogs on steam I've got FC3, but 4 looks sick Never heard about for Honor, sounds neat might check it out Really enjoying AC2 right now, might pick up BF
Thanks for the recommendations!
Definitely interested in the Far Cry series, I'll have a look at 5, thanks!
Lo and behold, I have Ubisoft wallet funds! And it just happens to be that it's everyone's favourite time to buy games, Cyber Monday.
So, my question for all the Lemmings out there is: What are your top five (5) must-play Ubisoft games? I'm talking pseudo-classics, like AC2. Gems from the past decade that can run on anyone's hardware. Note that the older the game is, the higher the discount is, and thus more accessible.
And...Discuss!
Facts. Just talking to educated people today, it is clear that there is a major disparity in knowledge and understanding when it comes to technology.
And yeah. Download Tor for free and bada-bing bada-boom, your kid now has access to not only the entire internet, but also the actual dark side of the Internet. Which is arguably an even worse environment than just straight-up internet.
For now, the only real solution is good parenting. Which again, as you mentioned, is getting harder and harder.
Somewhat off-topic, but the general trend of anti-family sentiment in society troubles me for a number of reasons.
Until kids learn to bypass Net Nanny by using the Tor network.
I think the system is broken, but my opinion isn't of much value as I don't have a solution for the problem. It's a classic debate question.
I appreciate the comment!
If you've ever been a kid with stricter parents, you'll know that there's always a way around child-proofing. It's an unfortunate reality. Additionally, if you've ever been in a school, you'll know that if you add 'unblocked' to the end of your Google search, you'll find exactly what you wanted to find. Restrictions can only go so far. (Sorry, I don't mean this to sound snarky.)
I believe there is a fine line between censorship and limited availability. For instance, many of the internet's 'big brother' algorithms will recommend suggestive content right off the bat. I think, (and this is my personal opinion) that larger services such as social media sites, search engines, etc. should be held responsible for the content that their platform shows to children. I definitely think that a little checkbox saying "I'm over 18" is a token effort at best.
I'm conflicted on this matter, as I believe strongly in privacy and anonymity and in the open, collaborative nature of the Internet; but, on the other hand, allowing children unfettered access to said Internet has been proven to be a bad idea. So, I'm somewhat undecided on the issue as far as the role of government or the role of service providers.
Parental roles are clear, however. Thanks for your comment ant have a lovely evening.
Precisely! Modernized, relevant internet safety courses! The current systems, at least what I've experienced, have really amounted to "don't talk to strange people in chat rooms" and I...
Oh.
I think everyone can agree that child safety is important. But the fact internet as it stands is not safe for kids is completely undeniable.
As always, however, censorship is not the solution, especially not if it's headed by government. I'm honestly not sure what the solution is.
Hey all, newbie to the Lemmy, signed up recently.
Also a relative android newbie, I've had a pixel 6 for about a year and a half.
I've played around with tasker, KWGT, KLWP, and all kinds of other power-user techie apps, so I'm reasonably confident in my ability to tinker with my phone.
I've been experimenting with my launcher, having gone with stock pixel launcher for my first half, and then using Lawnchair 12 for the second half, I wanted to try something new.
So, I open the floor up to you guys! What launcher are you using, what do you enjoy, and most importantly, why do you enjoy it? What sets your launcher apart?
I know there are a lot of us who came here from Reddit, so I kinda want to know why and how you fellas got here, and from where.
Bonus points if you explain why you're excited about Lemmy and the Fediverse, or, alternatively, share why your worried or annoyed at Lemmy and the Fediverse.
I'll go first: I was really tired of putting Reddit at the end of every Google search, and so I decided that I'd probably get better results from the same crowd of people (techie, open-source privacy geeks like myself lol) from the Fediverse. I originally wanted to join /kbin (not sure if that's how it's formatted) but I noticed that they didn't have an Android app, so I went with Lemmy for now until kbin has an app I can use. I struggled to decide what instance I wanted to use, but eventually decided to join Lemdro.id because, well, I enjoy android I guess. (And it doesn't really matter) I'm excited to see what happens with the whole Threads thing, as well as the Fediverse at large, considering the massive growth most platforms are experiencing at the moment. It sounds corny, but I feel like I'm a part of a new chapter in the Internet and the world's history, you know? I mean I'm not exactly an early adopter, but I'm earlier than everyone after me, you know? I am worried about the same social issues that plagued reddit appearing here, which would make me sad. I just don't want to see the same political discourse on the Fediverse, because otherwise, what actually sets us apart from regular vanilla reddit, then?
(Edit) Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean for reddit-migration stories specifically, I just wanted to talk about how we all got here!
