Steam for steam games, Lutris for anything else, Heroic for Amazon, Epic and GOG if you prefer it. Roblox is unsupported, but there are workarounds. For online, not LAN based, games, you will need to check title by title. I recommend Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? for this. Other than that, you are almost 100% cool. If you encounter any problem, you will need to check ProtonDB and Lutris/games sites for each case. But nowadays almost anything runs perfectly out of box.

I think it’s shit that some leftists continue to use Xitter. If all social media is a simulacrum of public space, Xitter is the one where this is clearer. It is not a dispute space, is literal owned by a nazi.

Lula just vetoed Nicarágua and Venezuela in BRICS. I am very curious about how he intends to be independent of the imperialist core while following the core’s booklet.

I see a lot of Millennials using G-drive instead of torrent, actually.

Sorry, little experience with immutable systems, I didn’t know they could update without a password.

only flatpaks

If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

You are conveniently forgetting that every Laptop that isn’t a Mac comes with Windows by default

They could steal your personal data without you knowing

lol

I commented having only read the headline. Too bad it’s a VM, Android could have a sort of reverse Waydroid.

I wouldn’t know, I use Arch (btw)

Plasma Mobile for Android? 🤔

The problem is when your boss believes in hype and makes layoffs (already happenning)

When you responded to @[email protected], you said that you were against all porn.

Yes, and I also didn’t suggest banning pornography or anything like that. If you think that my statement alone that I am against pornography threatens pornography as a whole, you are greatly overestimating my influence.

You simply generalized all sex work as harmful to the worker/performer.

It is a convention, at least as I understand it, that when we are talking colloquially about a phenomenon, we are talking about how that phenomenon generally happens, even if we don’t use the word “generally” or something equivalent, since it is common sense that for everything there is at least one exception. If you feel like your case doesn’t fit into any of the issues I’ve outlined, with all honesty in my heart: good for you. However, most cases are not that lucky. Exception, instead of contradicting the rule, proves it, otherwise, it would not be an exception, it would be the rule itself.

Did you understand that I defend legalization, I just don’t defend it being controlled by big companies?

much like the failing war on drugs

It’s insightful of you to associate these two problems, in fact, in that they are similar. In both cases, there is also no point in legalizing so that large companies control activities, creating, in the case of drugs, big tobacco 2.0.

I linked an article that talks about the problem in general, two studies that talk about specific subjects and cases and an article that talks specifically about the content of porn films (I corrected the link, I was linking another text, not the one where the information originates ). There is exception for everything. Despite your individual experience, most pornography consumed does not involve direct compensation from viewers to actors to begin with. I do not aim to talk about prostitution and pornography in its entirety, but in general.

But anyway:

I was probably going to jerk off anyway

Yet, you only streamed because you needed to pay rent, or didn’t you?

Also, I did not propose immediately anything that would threaten the activity in the way you practiced it,on the contrary, banning pornographic networks would possibly encourage this type of pornography. If we got to a state where most porn was like this, we would have made a huge progress.

Obviously, no censorship measure can reach all cases, especially when it comes to pornography, you can find it in every corner of the internet. But it can cover most cases if it targets the most popular sites. For example, there is a lot of child pornography on the surface web, despite it being banned in most countries, but the ban makes access difficult and guarantees punishment in any case that the law takes notice of. It is not a definitive strategy, as it aims at the effect and not the cause, but it is something.

To be clear, I’m reading your response as against porn in all forms and for all audiences based on your wording, is that what you mean?

Yes.

How can you be against porn?

I am against porn because I am against prostitution, and porn is a type of prostitution, with the same problems of prostitution plus some more. The central problem is sexism.

It’s neither good or bad, it exists and I basically don’t watch it, but I recognize that others do, why is that a problem that needs solving?

Good and bad are Manichaean categories, as a materialist, I avoid using them. My problem with pornography is the reality of it as well as the reality of prostitution in general. The porn industry is the home of abuse, in every sense. First in the rawest sense, the physical and mental abuse that actresses go through; second in the reproduction and propagation of the culture of abuse, considering that it is the most recurrent theme in porn films; third in the economic sense, pornography, like prostitution in general, is the sale of consent: the actress or prostitute receives money to have sex with someone she would not have sex with under other circumstances, in short: paid rape.

I do not, however, advocate banning either prostitution or pornography, mainly because it would not solve the problem and could even worsen the vulnerability of women in these professions. I however think that pimping should be criminally punished, just like porn networks, which are just a socially accepted form of pimping. Several social problems produce prostitution and pornography, mainly economic inequality, but also the misogyny embedded in the culture of our society, and only a different form of sociability could put an end to these practices. As long as we are not living in this new system, governments can take palliative measures to alleviate the various problems of these practices, but this is not the case at all with this measure by the Spanish government.

EDIT: I have corrected the third link to the article where the information comes from.

I am against porn, but this don’t solve anything.
