one of the resetera alt minions, you can get some free right side of history points with this probably: Regulate social media now. The future of democracy is at stake.

There is a precedent for this historical moment. In the 1920s and 1930s, democratic governments suddenly found themselves challenged by radio, the new information technology of its time. Radio’s early stars included Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin: The technology could clearly be used to provoke anger and violence. But was there a way to marshal it for the purposes of democracy instead? One answer was the British Broadcasting Corp., the BBC, which was designed from the beginning to reach all parts of the country, to “inform, educate and entertain” and to join people together, not in a single set of opinions but in the kind of single national conversation that made democracy possible. Another set of answers was found in the United States, where journalists accepted a regulatory framework, a set of rules about libel law and a public process that determined who could get a radio license.

The question now is to find the equivalent of licensing and public broadcasting in the world of social media: to find, that is, the regulatory or social or legal measures that will make this technology work for us, for our society and our democracy, and not just for Facebook shareholders. This is not an argument in favor of censorship. It’s an argument in favor of applying to the online world the same kinds of regulations that have been used in other spheres, to set rules on transparency, privacy, data and competition.

We can, for example, regulate Internet advertising, just as we regulate broadcast advertising, insisting that people know when and why they are being shown political ads or, indeed, any ads. We can curb the anonymity of the Internet — recent research shows that the number of fake accounts on Facebook may be far higher than what the company has stated in public — because we have a right to know whether we are interacting with real people or bots. In the longer term, there may be even more profound solutions. What would a public-interest algorithm look like, for example, or a form of social media that favored constructive conversations over polarization?

...

If we don’t do it — if we don’t even try — we will not be able to ensure the integrity of elections or the decency of the public sphere. If we don’t do it, in the long term there won’t even be a public sphere, and there won’t be functional democracies anymore, either.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO is post this puff piece of the alt-right fascist non-journalism NYSlimes: In the Pale of Winter, Trump’s Tan Remains a State Secret

Oh wait, my bad, People's Republic of China thread.

Harmful books shouldn't be published.
Yikes censorship !

Eras "muh freeze peach" idiocy always annoys me, because there are regimes where people are actually literally risking life and liberty in pursuit of an ideal that era are so accustomed to having that they have become contemptuous of it, pretty much solely down to butthurt that they are not culturally equipped to handle dissent.

Reee has argued in the past that China censorship is totally okay in principle or that they were living in a country with only state media and know that suddenly they have free press they miss the state control.

[benjipwns]

What's interesting is that the sources I went to in an attempt to confirm or deny [Apex Legends] said something along the lines of "why would EA not market their game and just release it?"

i think i made a mistake hiring this guy

I lost years of my life into both of those games [Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free]. People like to make fun of them, but those were some of my favorite games.

It's funny that the "Apex legends" thread even survived the first page considering it was "The quartering" who broke the news. Apparently this guy is cool while Colin Moriarty remains the one who shall not be named.

I like how the writer, an intellectual, fucks the game up for the player just playing the game by getting in a midmatch flame war while thinking how they can use getting flamed for a fuck up into an article about how toxic the rl community is.

A thread for people getting heated in games.

Era truly will be the world's renowned gaming site.

[Joe Molotov]

With a sigh, I write back, “How about shutting up and playing the game you child?”
By this point, the only players playing are the three players on the opposite team, and the one player choosing to not get involved. Both I and KevinKellyKay are parked on the pitch engaging in a war of words.
KevinKellyKay: “Learn 2 play”

 You, foolish: “lrn2play newb”

Me, an intellectual: “I am already aware of the optimal strategy for engaging in this online video game. It is you who needs to practice until your skills have improved beyond that of a small child before again joining in a online lobby with me. And I say good day, sir!”

Yeah no, I need a mail with a personal domain name. So I can register on Resetera, unleash hell, be banned, register again etc. I have hundreds of IP adress at my job, but no personal domain mail I can easily obtain without buying a full web domain.

I thought they opened the floodgates to anybody who wanted to register?  Didn't think it was paid only like gaf used to be

Like in recognition that forums are a dying brand anyway and you need to take as many people as you can get and just ban the ones with a history of history

EDIT: huh guess it does say that on their registration page

I think if anyone mentioned it here you'd be immediately suspect

"this guy over at that hate site is trying to register with a freepaidemail.com address lol"

I'd guess actual hate sites probably specialize in these things and have secret discords where they hook each other up with paid domain names they don't give a shit about tarnishing

Posts that will cause outrage on era:

-saying negative stuff about switch
-microtransactions in japanese games are fine; EA doing the same cause 100 pages of hate.

If we’re really just boiling it down to character rosters, both are generally equally appealing. TSR has more blemishes like Zavok & the lingering reminder we lost Gum, Vyse, & Ulala for Zavok, though, while CTR’s only flaw to me is Ripper Roo being problematic after having developed a greater understanding of how people are stigmatized by poor representations of mental health disorders in media over the past 20 years. But Pinstripe’s there so it’s not all bad.

At the end of the day, the 2 games need to sell themselves off gameplay. CTR sold itself quite well on that before & looks to do so again, while TSR’s team concept isn’t sparking too hot of a reaction from fans online & people that have played it. TSR will probably sell more, but only because Sonic’s stuck around & maintained brand recognition, while Crash had a hiatus.

Clearly the success of your cartoon kart game hinges on the problematic nature of this edgy cartoon animal, as wokeness has granted us much greater wisdom since the dark ages of year 2000.  Also imagine knowing all these supposed characters from Sonic

For all the French people here, is it offensive if I send an email to you with "Bonjour <your name>" in a professional setting?

I think once you know them, and they know how you are in real life you'll have more opportunities to be colloquial or warmly polite with a French phrase, you'll be fine.

On the other hand it's almost essential that you learn how to say please, thank you and maybe apologetically ask if they speak English in ANY country's native tongue you're visiting phsyically. Some places are more uptight than others but most places, even notoriously tricky Quebec, appreciate any effort. If they're rude about it after your best shot then relax, that's them, not you.

And then it varies by country on email ettiquette - for example, while it looks cringey in print, typing "Nakamura-san" rather than "Mr. Nakamura" is not only OK, it can be expected - and while BOTH are acceptable ettiquette, the easiest way to decide which to choose is to take your cues from the respondent. If they describe "Nakamoto-san" then it's appropriate to use that form. same goes for any language. If they started the mail thread with "Bonjour" and the rest in English, go nuts. Bonjour away. As long as you're not being condescending you're good.
