Oof.

And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes...

I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it's the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it's the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.

In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I'm afraid... 😝

Good. That's exactly the kinda of lowbrow crap that shouldn't be accepted in public or online. And if you can't advocate your favorite orange weirdo in a diaper without calls for violence, doxxing folks, etc, then you know what? That's the kind of worthless shit heel society should not be wasting it's time on...

Anybody dare do a tldr? When the first paragraph says Bros Attacks, a staple of the entire series, are new, my brain kinda melted...

Huh, didn't realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it'll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they're the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they're fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was...😝)

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument... 🤪

Umm, no. Just...yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They've managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

But... they've long since figured out how to monetize without the content. So, that's a hard disagree from me...

Umm, so do you realize how badly you just destroyed any shred of credibility you had left?

Thank you for identifying a source of disinformation, though; I'm adding it to my block list.
