I know it's not my specialty, but isn't an amp and a watt related? I've seen cables that conduct anywhere from 40w (Steam Deck) up to 240w (cables on Alibaba, but don't expect a low price for them, and above 140w they're much thicker than usual by design or you're being scammed with false advertising).

I don't need to be paid, I just don't want corpos profiting off of my data for any reason, so robots.txt works fine for me. The reason that's enough in my eyes is, I don't hate capitalism nor am I an anarchist or tankie, this is about halting enshittification and for one other reason:
"AI is fundamentally about giving the wealthy access to skill while depriving the skilled of the means to access wealth."
In short, eat the rich because they've ruined everything. They want capitalism? Then no more "laissez-faire" bullshit, you pay your fucking 90% tax on every dollar above 1 mil and shut it. Nobody needs 15 different colors of common Lamborghini and 1 Lambo out of less than 500. Nobody needs 5000 days of going to the mall to buy a dress every day. Nobody needs a personally-owned A380 private jet. Nobody needs 25%, 25 fucking percent, return on investment.
That also applies to the internet and tech companies as much as reality and banks. When I used Reddit, I never told them they could block access behind a paywall and they know it, and they also knew I can't afford an international court case against an American tech giant. Now 90% of google is locked behind reddit, a company which shadow banned me well before the API issues.
As long as Reddit, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. can't legally make free money off of this, I'm happy.

Squadron 42, to my knowledge, is much closer to it's release than Star Citizen as an MMO. I suspect we'll be waiting until 2028 at earliest for either, but Squadron has a chance at releasing by then, late as ever but at least passable (and hopefully not a fixer-upper like NMS or Cyberpunk were) and possibly benefiting from it's age, but don't expect groundbreaking graphics as the games that have aimed for such since the release cycle of games in general hit the 10 year mark.
Star Citizen will always be a living project as long as it exists, but Squadron 42 will be more in line with people's expectations. Remember, GTA V started development before GTA IV was released, GTA VI has likely been in development just as long as CIG as a company has existed.

Same, but to my knowledge it's not possible. The engine is too outdated, and Godot wouldn't feel the same.

I throw big rocks because I hate literally everyone and everything. You all fucking ruined my life, I want to destroy everything everyone else cares about.

Initially, yes. And then when it went wrong? They doubled down on it because they WANTED people to be desperate.

Okay, that's cherrypicking. I am not saying it was crossfire like any Jews deserved to die, they didn't. I'm saying that anyone calling children "just collateral damage" is evil, because THAT'S what I meant by crossfire, "they are not just collateral damage, you CHOSE not to care that your actions might hurt innocents".
It's stressing me out to leave communities that are relevant to it unblocked. The sheer cynicism is affecting my mood and I'm having to block all communities about real life news of any kind for personal health, so I am wondering if anyone considers "[A Boring Dystopia](https://sh.itjust.works/c/aboringdystopia@lemmy.world), but instead of being boring, it's edgy or (at best) a cool workaround for corporate internet BS." a deserving project to continue? I plan to remain lead mod but give the first new moderator free reign; I wouldn't be asking this if I had any intention of ever pulling anything stupid like deleting it on a whim, I think I would like to see it continue but in better hands than my own.
I can't take reading about how the world is collapsing every fucking day, if anyone wants a mod position and has experience, DM me and I'll give you free reign with an exception for banning me from A Nerdy Dystopia (I will keep the main moderator position to prevent this). Shouldn't be that hard to run a community like this if you're used to A Boring Dystopia's posts, it's basically this but the posts are about subverting corporate control or about how non-boringly evil some people are. I just want to relax and can't run a community like A Nerdy Dystopia without getting stressed by all potentially-relevant content.
Apparently this was missed, so for posterity I'm cross-posting it. Sadly, this is old news, not actually a new update. Still a good feature, though.
[GTX](https://www.rpnation.com/threads/glitch-techs-xpanded-universe-gtx-gnu-fork.530645/reader/page-1) is an RPNation fandom RP that takes place in a heavily-modified version of the official lore of Glitch Techs, that adds in a backstory that places Hinobi and PLixel Technology as originating in the aftermath of WWII (PLixels were used to defeat Japan rather than nukes, much more humane and less lethal than you might be imagining, this isn't a grey goo kind of story) and the existence of many fictional megacorps from across fiction. It includes a lot of references; Krei Tech and Buy'n'Large are as canon as Arasaka and Vault-Tec in GTX's weird mish-mash, but leaning heavily towards the former because this is a very lighthearted and pro-escapist RP with a general theme of "scummy business practice doesn't pay" as Hinobi's monopoly arose due to extensive abuse of legal loopholes by Hinobi's competitors, who are usually corrupt megacorps from stories less optimistic than Glitch Techs that went bankrupt trying to act like they did in their source material. Among the other survivors are Innovative Online Industries (headed by a lookalike of Ratchet from the CGI movie *Robots*), microDyne (a merger of Cyberdyne Systems who created SkyNet, and microTech from Star Citizen) and - due to being a new introduction - Volpe who is a new company founded after the majority of others went out of business. Anyway, [feel free to read](https://www.rpnation.com/threads/glitch-techs-xpanded-universe-gtx-gnu-fork.530645/reader/#post-11714378) and [join](https://www.rpnation.com/threads/gtx-gnu-forks-a-glitch-techs-tribute-rp-interest-check-always-open.530168/) if you're interested.

~~Unfortunately, not every dystopian element of real life is caused by corpo-jerks. Sometimes the full truth is inescapably fucking awful even before money gets involved.~~ Got confused somehow, sorry about that. I must have had this tab open and mistook it for one of my "bad news suitable for Nerdy Cyberpunk Dystopia" tabs.

[Hinobi Technologies](https://glitchtechs.fandom.com/wiki/Hinobi): The Future is Fun! I'm just a fan of Glitch Techs, and noticed the loose suitability of this community fort this post. We now return to your regularly-scheduled Fediverse activity.
I can only hope it goes no further because f*** the corpos, I want to write for a living and actually provide quality.
