Do you think that’s universal or only applied to the USA? And how does the article support your opinion?

Please, don’t take this to a private conversation if it’s not a private matter. The topic you were discussing would benefit others and being open offers the chance for someone to jump in with a unique perspective.

Now, about the way you expressed your opinion on the assault received. I don’t have a degree in psychology, but I believe you shouldn’t so nonchalantly analyse someone’s behavior after just one interaction and you definitely shouldn’t treat it with levity (“to die on”). Also, personally, I think you should only advise people to seek help when it’s for their on benefit, not because you don’t approve their behavior. You might have had the best intentions, but the language you use is important.

You didn’t ask the same thing.

Thanks. I guess I’m just too isolated from mainstream communication.

Is it just my impression or is this another protest with a short notice? I think it’s really important to let people properly plan ahead and be involved before going to the streets.

I’m very sorry for you. People might not realize how traumatizing having to deal with it can be. It definitely shouldn’t be the responsibility of people without proper support or training.

I’m pretty sure this is one freedom US people won’t let technology take away in the name of safety and ease of use. The roads and the culture are the problem. You can go fast and people will say going as fast as you can the whole time is the right way to drive.

How long till they report something that’s true by accident?

Headphone manufacturers need access to system functionalities such as proximity auto-pairing and automatic audio switching.

If Apple were a restaurant, they wouldn’t provide tableware for free and would charge you for bringing your own while tying one of your hands behind your back.

Hey, as long as the competition is reasonable, you can be as unreasonable as you want and say the customer has options. Curious they never say their customers appreciate what they do as a defense.

Considering you can’t sell platinum for money, you could add complexity by converting it to another currency when exchanging hands. No value lost, exact same ratio. You buy platinum, you spend it on the store or it decays when you give it to another player. Platinum carries real world value, decayed doesn’t. Would that work? The only reason for doing that would be to obfuscate the fact platinum has real world value. The players being constantly aware of the fact might mess with the economy.

Honestly, their monetization is really something I could never criticize.

My cynical take is that Facebook wants the money from ads target at children, but not the responsibility of vetting the apps they might download because the trust the platform they are in. Google and Apple just want to pass the responsibility to developers and create laws that punish them for misusing tools they want to provide so other people deal with the complaints.

Still being cynical. It’s not that big corporations can’t do anything. They just can’t do anything without using their own money.

The conflict that people that hate both copyright and exploitative AI had just got resolved. It’s nothing new, but I still get surprised by how shameless the justifications can be.

“Your honor, if I hadn’t stole all that money, I couldn’t be investing to make myself more money. Think about it, it was so much that I had to hire people to help me, so I created jobs.”

Google control the browser most people use and that browser could be defaulted to use a different search engine, which controls what you see when you have a question. They can take control from google and allow a real ally to buy it.

I think that is a little backwards thinking. Common folk are at these events taking the pictures. Common folk are producing high quality content. I’m pretty sure the celebrities themselves wouldn’t have as much information on their peers as the collective of researchers do. Far from mere spectators.

It wasn’t true. I wasn’t even trying to deceive anyone, but the problem is that people will mostly believe without asking for sources if they don’t care. I put an edit above now.

My oopsie. Clarification above.

Curious. When talking about scams, I would say everyone, even scam experts. Maybe there’s the fact that specific populations are targeted based on how much one will profit from their efforts.

Let me spin that for you so you see the problem.

Mastodon, the social network backed by terrorists. By signing up, you put your name on a FBI watchlist as well.

edit: I didn’t make it clear that this would be the spin that would be possible to use against mastodon. It’s not true, but it doesn’t have to be to cause harm.

Lots of people complain when the game is called a walking simulator, but I got very excited seeing all the different environments we’ll be able to traverse. Hoping to have a little bit of Lockne / Mama somehow. The mechas were something curious, then they doubled down at the end.

Is it just me or does this really look like an extortion scam? “We’ll protect you if you give us money.” They don’t, obviously, because they need the threat to still be real.
