considering the data is from 2018 and the report published in 2020 it's probably not a "little" higher but a hell of a lot higher.

At this point it's more likely bots are advertising/pushing agendas to other bots.

receive distress call from Hanako: "it can wait."

yup, haven't gotten around to it but I've been meaning to. How's it working out for you? I might end up doing that today.

Well the Wachowskis have said in the past that The Matrix Online is canon as they wanted to hand the story of The Matrix over to the fans/players to do with it as they wished. They approved of Morpheus' death in the game so I suppose that's why it's kinda vague in Resurrections as to how he died. Either because of the events of the game where he was killed by an assassin or simply from old age.

As far as how he was reborn in the movie he was basically "coded in" to a "Matrix Modal" by Neo and the Machines. Resurrections Morpheus was like a hybrid of Morpheus and Agent Smith. The whole explanation was the machines needed Neo to kind of remember but not quite fully remember that he was the One because it generated a lot of power for them combined with keeping Trinity in close proximity. So the Machines were kind of constantly dangling a carrot in front of Neos face. They also had to keep constantly changing his DSI (Digital Self Image) so the humans would have a hard time finding him.

So the Morpheus in Resurrections wasn't the "real" morpheus but a program that had Morpheus' "code". that's why he didn't have a body in the real world because unlike Neo and Trinity there was no body to put him in.

It was essentially a clip show for people who I guess didn't have the internet? just viral videos. that's it.

As someone who witnessed them eating up ALL their competition first hand, you're right. They bought EVERYONE out. in my time in the adult industry I worked for 3 separate companies and Manwin bought them all. TWICE I was offered a job by them and to move to Montreal after being laid off from two companies that they bought and both times I turned them down simply because of their reputation within the industry.

One company I worked for was named Twistys/Pink Visual based in Toronto and they were bought by Manwin. A few people I know decided to move to Montreal to work at pornhub since they worked on Gaytube, SexTube, TrannyTube, etc and would be in charge of those sites at pornhub. They all moved back to Toronto within the spawn of a few months because it was a horrible place to work. Pornhub has always presented itself online as cool and hip to modern trends but behind the scenes it's anything but. I mean all the cool statistics and stuff they constantly present was built on the back of a guy from Tucson Arizona that worked for another porn company there that they bought. They promptly fired him after he essentially taught them his tools. Dude moved to Montreal from Arizona and everything. uprooted his family to move to Canada. He lasted maybe a year.

There was also a point where the adult actors were looking to unionize. It was largely spear headed by Sasha Grey. Manwin/Pornhub in part was very quick to squash that.

as someone who used to work in the adult entertainment industry years and years ago Manwin/Pornhub was always known as the "McDonalds of Porn". You go there because you don't know any better and just want a quick session.

If you want niche stuff, truly amateur stuff, you'll go else where. So you're not wrong, there are a lot more places that simply ignore these rules. For the vast majority as long as they're following 2257 rules they couldn't give a rats ass about any other countries rules. Why? because most of the big payment processors i.e. places like CCBill, are in the US so it's more important to play by the US' rules than anywhere else so Affiliates and what have you can continue to be paid.

I mean if you're that gung ho to stay within the commonwealth then why the hell would you go to the UK to "avoid" social media ban to a place that is more strict? Why not move to Canada?

Oh I've been done with Cachy for awhile, I switched to NixOS. I just like having everything there in front of me plus using comma to run stuff without installing it is awesome.

Doom Emacs. made me switch from Vim/Neovim to it. Love it.

It's because Reddit Mods, all of them, are spineless shills that are SO terrified of pissing off Reddit admins and losing their unpaid jobs/power trips. that's all it is. they're all the same. every. single. one. of them.

yeah when I first switched to Linux everyone suggested Mint to me, like they always do, so I tried that. It was miserable, didn't work well with my Nvidia GPU, and almost made me go back to Windows. then someone suggested CachyOS to me and I'm glad they did.
