  • I also don’t own a Steam deck and have a good PC with a curved screen. And for couch co-op even a 4k projector with a 100 inch screen.

    But I definitely understand that there are uses for being able to take all your games with you and play them anywhere. I already sit at my desk for hours at work.

    Of course, it depends a lot on the genre. Competitive FPS or RTS I would rather not play on the small screen, but games like Dave The Diver, Dredge or Balatro sound perfect to me.












  • I actually doubt that there is enough evidence that Hetzner is transphobic.
    Just because other pages have not been blocked does not mean that direct conclusions can be drawn. To me, this sounds like a personal vendetta against the admin.

    The relevant context from the site (shortened):

    for reference, i am the admin of woem.men. we do allow nsfw content, but thats not the focus of woem.men, as woem.men is a trans safe space for users of all ages. we require lewd content to be CWed, and actually encourage our users to make an account on our sister instance, lewd.lgbt instead, if they wanna post lewd stuff

    about a month and a half ago, i discovered that my ex partner is a serial groomer, and banned her from woem.men.

    emma went on a crusade against woem.men, claiming that i was the real groomer, trying to push the spotlight away from myself, basically using my ex as the scapegoat.

    a week or two later (this last Saturday), i got an email from hetzner: abuse report from cloudflare, child pornography on your server. the email basically showed a forwarding chain: emma’s deadname -> cloudflare -> hetzner. cloudflare included information on how to bypass cloudflare to verify that woem.men is, indeed, hosted on hetzner. the original report from emma included spurious definitions of “yuri”, and a falsified text representation of the image. emma also said that she reported the artwork to authorities for being CSAM

    for reference, if you havent seen the artwork floating around yet, its artwork of two fully clothed girls, probably something like 17-21 years old, kissing romantically. nothing worse than what you’ve seen in a disney movie between two het couples

    hetzner did not ask me to remove the content. hetzner told me to remove the entirety of woem.men. and if i didnt comply within 24 hours, the entire server’s network would be locked.

    i replied that the image was not CSAM, but i could remove just the url, and if that would suffice. and hetzners next reply (paraphrased):

    due to the nature of the site, the site is inherently adult content, which is against our terms of service, section […]

    fedi was catching wind of this situation, and began trying to get hetzner’s attention on twitter, bluesky, etc. my friend began migrating woem.men to her infrastructure. a few hours later, i got an email back (paraphrasing again): “okay, ashten, just remove the url, and we’ll close the case.”

    […] hetzner has proven itself to be transphobic and homophobic in one email chain.

    q. im not sure this is evidence that hetzner is transphobic/homophobic
    a. okay, consider this: maps instances are allowed to run on hetzner just fine. same with techbro instances which are commonly blocked for poor moderation regarding loli/csam. but woem.men was given 24 hours to shut down due to the “nature of the site”
