Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint.
I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That’s a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.
Roblox is the absolute worst thing for kids.
All my kid’s friends are on it so I feel bad not allowing them to use it, but there’s no way to set it up that doesn’t allow them to access these horrible experiences without also blocking access to pretty much every normal experience.
The devs are allowed to set their own maturity level so this experience probably has the same maturity as Grow a Garden.
So I have to just constantly monitor it and manually block inappropriate stuff, but there’s a limit of 200 for blocking which I’ve already hit. It’s the worst.
It looks like destructive environments are back and the nod to the BF4 theme at 2:00 is interesting. Let’s hope that DICE can pull their head out of their ass for this one.

They can see you’re a person but not exactly who you are.
Well it could be pretty handy for home automation.
Wait. You mean war isn’t the solution to all the world’s problems?
I got one threatening letter (they are uncommon where I live in Czechia but they will write you after a while). I got a VPN and no more letters.
UK keeps forgetting that it’s just a little country now. It can’t play the big boy games like the EU and US any more.
You should totally leave then
I fully agree we need something new. And I hope we get it. I can readily imagine better ways to tackle the problems we have.
The problem with “post scarcity” is that every time I dig into the details of what “post scarcity” government proposals are, they are basically just communism rehashed with some arm waving about “technology”, so until I see some better proposals than that, I am very skeptical of anyone proposing “post scarcity” as a solution. Hence why I replied to you with my feelings about communism. To me, they are the same things in their current incarnation. Even if you take away money. There is still some central government that is doling out resources, and someone doing the production of those resources which want some compensation for their work. I don’t see that changing any time soon. But maybe someday if we get true AGI and AGI robots, we can give them all the work and let them do this…
I’m sure someone will still try to slant the playing field their way like Musk is trying with Grok, though.
Well you and I are different then, I downvote uninteresting stuff all the time. I also downvote a lot of stuff I already saw or know. This particular item meets both criteria.
This is a dormant tendency in at least half of mankind in any country you look. That’s why it’s so easy to commandeer if someone has the means by which to do so.
It doesn’t make me upset, it’s just not interesting or useful.
Me exactly. I keep a lot of the streaming services because I don’t want to host a bunch of 4k stuff myself, though I do often get the 1080p stuff for when I fly on planes or haven’t yet re upped my subscription for the show I want to watch. But many shows aren’t on any of the sub services in my country, so those are straight to the seedbox.
Yeah, that’s a good case for this.
I’m not sure what the difference is between this and just providing food stamps. I think food stamps would probably work out to be more efficient in the end unless for profit stores turn out to be massively inefficient.
Ask anyone who’s lived under communism and they’ll tell you otherwise. I live in a formerly communist country and have thousands of people around me who can directly compare. The only people who had it better under communism are the bottom 5-10% or people who didn’t want to work. If communism makes things cheaper, it’s because almost everyone has so much less money. Anyone who thinks otherwise has no real experience in the matter.
That’s not to say that capitalism can’t go off the rails. Without proper oversight, it will descend into monopolies and fascism, as we are seeing today. But in a well functioning system that has socialist and pro worker legislation as we see many places in Europe, the best of both capitalism and socialism can be brought out. I don’t know why everyone has to always try to go to one extreme or the other when the best system is always somewhere in the middle.
Do better next time!
Well okay you’re not wrong, there is always some sucker out there.
