@BatmanAoD IMHO both JavaScript and PHP were hacks. When introduced they were indeed excellent hacks, making difficult things possible for the first time. In as sane world they would have been discarded as prototypes, but once human greed enters the picture (and in the capitalist world that is ALL the time) sense goes out of the window and the gold rush begins. This is far from a new story (cf. California 1849).

@cypherpunks he is wrong, as many genocide specialist (including those from Israel) will tell him.

He just supports genocide against people of different colour. It’s the American way.

@atomicpoet @videogames I don’t worry much about pixellated weapons, but still think (my opinion being worth no more than anyone else’s in this matter) that the psychology of these games is unhealthy.

@atomicpoet @videogames that the majority can remain unaffected. I’m not concerned about them.

@Miro_Collas @palestine #OfCourseItsGenocide

@atomicpoet @videogames it hardly seems surprising that violence is becoming normalised when things like this are sold as entertainment. No matter how “harmless” they are generally, what about those extremely vulnerable to suggestion, for example?

@bigfondue @YourNetworkIsHaunted every accusation is a confession!

@faab64 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@a.gup.pe Shouldn’t that be “genocidal terrorist state Israel?”
