Same reason everything sucks every day, roots.

~~We live in a crumbling self-cannibalising inhumane system.~~ Uh I mean, try to take over the world?

This description 100% applies to the UK, sadly.

Hear me out hexbears, we have an infighting problem, therefore we should infight the infighters.

I agree we should forgive comrades more for making mistakes. I disagree that a philosophy of 'bully the bullies' is a sustainable approach to maintaining a community.

I'd bet life savings the same way. Without a signficant newsworthy breakthrough that we'd already heard about, there's not a chance in hell this company is making energy from nuclear fusion in 4 years.

Just flip the polarity on that bad boy and it might blow up the Sun

Fusion - It's shaped like a U. I want a power district that reads "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Are you sure that's AOC? According to the label AOC is that tuft of flowers.

I don't think it's increasing overall, it's just been changing to be more internet-focused. You have to remember that since the internet first came into the popular global stage, governments worldwide have been scrambling to get a chokehold on it.

Massively overemphasising the dangers of online sexual abusers, drug trade, "terrorist propaganda", cyberhackers, copyright etc has been the approach of most governments since the 90s, and it's absolutely worked. Despite being borderline non-existent threats, it's been the excuse governments needed to have the authority to block whatever they want and have more of a hand in any large-scale online entities. (Not to mention playing up fears of "foreign censorship" as super evil so our own looks good by comparison).

Obviously, in the 90s, it wasn't a yet major issue, because most people still watched TV news. As people have slowly gone online and turned away from traditional media, governments have simply continued to ramp up the fear of internet boogeymen to ensure they have a similar hold on internet media sources instead.

So I'd argue there's always been this strong grip on censorship, it's just as internet-goers, we're slowly seeing it migrate here from elsewhere.

Minimal similarity to any domesticated animals

That is a goat with a long tail. They've even got the cloven hooves.

Germany never knew how to handle the DDR correctly.

Thanks, guess that makes sense, kinda.

Instead of mass translating C code in some insane ready-to-ruin codebases project, why not just.. make a compiler that addresses the vulnerabilities?
