The solution to that isn't to post even more blatantly state controlled media just with a different flavor of boot sole.

Come on now.

I don't see how these cases could be prevented even with regulation. It would take a massive change in how these things work on a fundamental level.

Silverhand is explicitly a high functioning cyberpsycho in the tabletop RPG books. His "breaks" manifest as his hand talking to him. It's one of his notable character tics. In the books it's a big part of why he thought he could pull off the Arasaka bombing.

More info than anyone needs:

Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the setting, has said that cyberpsychosis shouldn't be treated like a pure numbers game set of RPG rules. It's intentionally modeled after real world drug addiciton. Some people will naturally have higher or lower tolerances, and having a strong support system around you like V's usually blunts the effects. It's countered by a stat called humanity, and Pondsmith has stated that a person's own beliefs about how human they are can impact it.

Cyberware was slightly rarer when Johnny was running around, he's an AWOL soldier with untreated PTSD, and he has a pretty shit "support system" mostly due to his own actions. Given the views he already spouts about corporations, people, and the world in general it's not hard to imagine that he's not stable without the arm. He doesn't have a high opinion of his own humanity. The arm then becomes a constant reminder of the humanity he's lost/given up.

Adam Smasher is explicitly a socio/psychopath already, before cyberware, so there's no humanity for him to lose.

V has Johnny in his brain to effectively act as a second "person" to help soak up the negative effects. Plus, videogame. Bend the rules to allow a better power fantasy.

The only thing I'm even remotely looking forward to around this movie is ytps and shitpost edits.

We already have the previous live action SF movie as the "so bad it's good" campfest.

If you ever are inclined, Stardew has a very strong modding community. I don't play it without using one of the handful of mods for extending the time.

I would be surprised if this didn't hold true for many companies, especially when adjusting for inflation.

Exactly. It's a matter of scale as well. The "No eat... only focus" isn't "Oh hey, I was having so much fun I'm having lunch an hour late". It's more like "I'm not sure I was even having fun, I was just FOCUSED. Now it's multiple hours past the time to eat, I'm in strong physical pain due to intense hunger and feel off balance/sick from the tanked blood sugar."

How often, how extreme, how much of it is a concious choice vs something you can't stop even if you are aware it's happening.

Much like other neurodivergences. Most symptoms will be stuff that even neurotypicals experience occasionally, which leads to "I feel sad sometimes too. Have you just tried being happy?".

You can block specific posters and communities, but so far keyword filtering is only possible through specific phone apps.

I think an instance admin was working on something for doing that natively though.

If you take nothing else from this thread: That's not "just autism".

And the goal of working with a professional wouldn't be to "delete your autism" like holy shit lmao that is so off base I would think you were a shitposter if I hadn't met other people like you before.

There are dangerous thought patterns, shit that does nothing but erode your trust in the existence of an external reality. I don't have the proper words to describe the level of danger to yourself and those around you that you can cause if you don't believe foundational aspects of external reality.

This is really something you need to discuss with professionals.

Buddy, given your relatively basic questions and how you're posting to every single fucking vaguely relared community, I would highly suggest you do some studying on just... basic computer concepts and how to use them. Not sure what resources are out there anymore, but maybe some basic "these are the parts of a computer, these are programs and how they work" stuff from the 90s. They used to do middle school classes on how to properly use google and other seaech engines to find trustworthy information for citing in research papers. I seriously suggest you start there.

Then, after you understand the basics maybe you start trying to understand how all of that works in regards to security and the concept of trust in the software you install and run.

Spoiler alert: Computers are not designed with any sort of "zero trust" architecture like you seem to be shocked that they don't have. Things are not sandboxed, segmented, or otherwise prevented from accessing other stuff as a general rule.

This is why one of the bare minimum basics is "don't run anything you don't trust".
