Gotcha. I would suggest spending more time crafting your message if it’s as important to you as it seems. Half assed execution gets half assed engagement. Like first write your copy in a word doc and don’t use your first draft. The image manipulation in gimp is actually not bad at all. When I say ‘format’ I mean the like weird ordered list with letter headings giving vaguely relevant protestor advice. Like, I get what you’re trying to say but the errors and lack of an impactful structure to your words make the whole think seem kind of naive and not altogether useful to actual protest goers.

Eg: the authorities don’t ’get You’re furious’. They see and recognize it as aggression and that’s it. There is no understanding, no empathy, no reason. There is only the boot they intend to put on your neck.

I did however forget where I was on lemmy so don’t really worry about it as 1(10-1)6 is not really the place for complex sociopolitical discussions on the escalation to violence in peaceful protests by authoritarian state actors so fuckin blast that gimp practice all over the place young blood.

Person forgets stupid people have been around making content a lot longer than AI.

Tbh probably unlikely in this case.

Support the message but what in pluperfect fuck is this format?

yo ho

Oh I thought you were young enough not to have been alive when they were still prevalent. Which is honestly not a really high bar anymore.

Man I’m tired.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Thank you for an actually constructive response. You’ve honestly brought me around a bit with this.

It’s the first one, I’m terrible at effectively communicating nuanced points.

And I mean yall could interrogate the statement instead of reaching a conclusion and then responding but I get it.

But also, fuck that. Do more work as the reader.

Also, piss off with your infantilizing ‘hissy fit’ bullshit.

Why does everyone insist on adding the ‘so just bend over and take’ part whenever someone points out another source of wrongdoing? Like what do yall always take it to mean that the speaker is implying a whataboutism argument? And not maybe as ‘oh shit this has been going on longer than just this maybe we should learn about that too and we might figure out why it hasn’t been stopped yet.’

I’m sad you read this as an admission of defeat and an attempt to deter others from fighting. Was hoping for more of a ‘you’re late, you have a bunch of homework to catch up on’ vibe but I’m not great at communicating all the time.

That it takes more critical thinking to accomplish the organized action needed for real change than leaving a bunch of negative reviews.

I never once said ‘other company’s do it so just deal with it.’ Fuckawhataboutism. I said “if you think this is new, you haven’t been paying attention.” What I shouldn’t have left unsaid was ‘the review is a nice start and show of intention. but we need a lot more dedicated, well organized action, to actually accomplish any change.’

But people read into things what they want to hear.

A bit more than what, not really sure what your point here is? All of those bullet points are similar if not identical to terms in other EULAs half the people in this thread have already clicked thru.

I’ll say it again, if you think this is anything new you haven’t been paying attention. I’m all for calling this fuckery out and pushing for something better. But like where yall been?

Still no actual answers from anyone on how this is ‘more’ than what I described in my op. Sure it’s a more detailed list, but it’s really not the “gotcha” everyone seems to think it is. That is, if youve been paying attention.

Hyper Localized Advertising. Welcome to the future :(

Especially with Uranus right there for blue… i feel like Crab Nebula for purple can get a pass though.

• Did the EULA change? ✅
• Were all Take Two games automatically updated in secret and now hijack your machine with root access to spy on everything you do? ❌
• Do Take Two games contain code to report telemetry and user information(including application/system activity) to a home server? ✅
• Is this EULA change extraordinary and particularly egregious in comparison to others that most people have probably already agreed to? ❌(IMO)
• Are people riled up because e a YouTube video went a little viral and now they’re all playing telephone to the point where it’s now gotten to the point of random dumdums are review booming a 13 year old game claiming it’s turned into literal spyware? ✅(again, IMO)
• Should you be surprised by any of this if you’ve been even remotely paying attention for any period of the last 30-40 years? ❌
• Do we need more than just angry idiots in the battle against corpatocracy? ✅

We should be done coddling the late comers at this point. Yes welcome them and accept them, but at a certain point your level of ignorance became a detriment to your community and you should be made aware of that fact.

Not fooling me this time…

Missed opportunity not calling it a Mallowpaca IMO

(Or Mallpacaow)

Duh, just sit in the non smoking section and you’ll be fine.
