  • Tbh I thought it was a bunch of non-lemmy platforms (e.g., mbin which fedia.io runs - anecdotally it usually happens due to some types of edits not federating well), but if someone from infosec.pub (which runs lemmy) also had the problem then I'm actually not sure what the common factor is lol

    edit: the common factor might just be instances that have blocked lemmy.ml, which currently includes fedia.io (my instance) and infosec.pub (the other commenter's instance), though I'm surprised links to lemmy.ml's hosted images are included in the block

  • Yes! It still maintains some features not in mainline Mastodon, which I guess is why infosec.exchange runs it

  • Even the video footage would fit right in as B-roll in an Onion video, completely absurd that the chase lasted an hour like that lol

  • Cmon guys this one's easy, it's from the free-range broccoli farm

  • That video of them interviewing people on the street with it was pretty fun!

  • The linked report goes into more detail about what they consider violence and how the answers were collected https://aifs.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-05/Insights-Report-IPV-Chapter-1.pdf

    Here's one (of many) relevant sections (emphasis added):

    To understand the use of intimate partner violence, respondents were presented with a series of questions following the prompt, ‘As an adult, how have you behaved towards a past or present partner?’, and asked to respond either ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Respondents were also able to skip answering these questions. The questions included:

    • Have you ever behaved in a manner that has made a partner feel frightened or anxious? (emotional- type abuse) 1
    • Have you ever hit, slapped, kicked or otherwise physically hurt a partner when you were angry? (physical violence)
    • Have you ever forced a partner to have sex or made them engage in any sexual activity they did not want? (sexual abuse) 2

    Similarly, to measure men’s experience of intimate partner violence, respondents were presented with a series of questions following the prompt, ‘As an adult, have you ever experienced any of the following?’, and asked to respond either ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Respondents were also able to skip answering these questions. The questions included:

    • Have you ever felt frightened or anxious because of the behaviour of a partner? (emotional-type abuse).
    • Have you ever been hit, slapped, kicked or otherwise physically hurt by a partner when they were angry? (physical violence).
    • Has a partner ever forced you to have sex or made you engage in any sexual activity you did not want? (sexual abuse).
  • Hm, it's not usually what I think of either when I read/hear the word "violence", but I guess it's using a broader definition. Apparently verbal/emotional abuse also qualifies under the legal definition for domestic violence

  • by posting a comment supported by sources

    I have literally linked:

    • the updated EULA
    • the updated Privacy Policy
    • records of when the game was updated
    • an article discussing the changes

    jesus christ lol, the root level comment saying "Borderlands 2 recently had a rootkit added to it" is not supported by any of the available evidence but is STILL getting promoted here and elsewhere (like the Steam reviews) despite all of the above - so no, piss off dude, I HAVE posted comments supported by sources - they're just being ignored by you and others

  • Man I'm so fucking tired of this sensationalist bandwagoning part of the internet. Turns out changing the platform to fedi/threadi doesn't solve the problem because it's fundamentally the people that are the problem 🙃

  • No guessing is required, the actual EULA is available to be read: https://store.steampowered.com//eula/49520_eula_0 (assuming the correct EULA is being linked from the store page edit: ..which may not be the case based on the last-updated date (maybe Steam doesn't have the current version?)

    Based on what I'm seeing here so far, I would describe that review's language as sensationalist

    edit2: based on the available information (namely frames from the video sparking the backlash) this IS the same EULA that's being blasted, so my original comment stands

    edit3 electric boogaloo: people are calling it "the EULA" but it seems like the main contention is over the privacy policy (with just some of the modding stuff etc being in the EULA): https://www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/
