It’s very inspiring this movement made this much progress. Usually people will go it doesn’t matter and spend more time trying to discourage people from even caring.

Also ended up playing through The Crew which started this whole movement, and I liked it more than Froza with it having a fun Fast and Furious type storyline as opposed to the you are an influencer get fans type approach racing games take these days.

So glad the game got preserved.

Maybe they are part of Gretzky group that thinks US invasion of Canada would be a peaceful act?

It’s very good and a show that could stand on its own even if it didn’t have the Star Wars label. In fact, I wonder if more people would have given it a chance rather than initially dismiss after seeing it was a Star Wars IP after being burnt out by declining quality of Star Wars content.

What you are more likely to see is having to create and log into a Microsoft account on Windows or Apple account on MacOS to gain unrestricted access with IDs for verified accounts to be used on the OS.

With recent attempts at ID collection, subpoenas to reddit demanding user information of those critical of the US admin, and Palantir’s involvement your proposal is coming from a position assuming those groups aren’t the ones pushing for it.

Beginning to wonder if these attempts to push for age restriction are a concerted effort by organizations like Palantir using children to get people buy into it.

Hard to not make the link after subpoenas were issued to those critical of the US administration on reddit.

Would make it much easier to make people fear speaking out against their government on social media if IDs were required, and the government they are under is actively hostile.

That seems to be the end goal with think of the children being an easy entry point.

Nope makes no difference.

Yeah, accidental voting happens to me when I’m using my phone. Kind of inevitable unless someone uses an app where voting is done through pulling left or right as opposed to tapping.

Red flag is that it is an AI person hired for a game division who can’t even be trusted if any of their statements were generated through copilot, and they are nothing but a physical placeholder to mouth off copilot commands.

And this hiring coming from the company that has decided shoving copilot into as many different Microsoft products like notepad is the way forward. So a game account is nothing but meaningless fluff when even boomers play games on their phones. Playing games doesn’t show any signs of qualifications that indicate consumers will be better off.

Just more moves towards trying to shove AI integration to draw in investors.

Invest in whatever you want. We don’t really to read about people publicly trying to justify what stocks they want buy on a pcgaming sub. Its already turned into a weird tangent of one guy spouting off corporate talking points.

They don’t exist in a vacuum but taking a weird investor approach about how nvidia is far ahead because they chose to invest in AI is not really in line with the comment they responded to saying they picked it up because of Linux support.

Comes off as some weird AI and revenue spokesperson when we aren’t here to discuss which stocks to invest in.

This is pcgaming not investing. The aspects you are talking about don’t matter to pc gamers who are only trying to get whatever parts they can for a bargain as opposed to concerns about return on investment.

Celebrities they worship are still on there so another reason they refuse to leave.

Because people see that this isn’t about protecting kids, but about wanting to start requiring IDs for every aspect of the Internet that didn’t used to have it. So it doesn’t just stop at Roblox but getting to the point where even signing up on Lemmy might have ID requirements depending on the country.

The answer is better parental controls to lock down accounts and even get alerts and logs of what their kids are doing rather than this attempt to get IDs. Provide better easy to use parental tools. Not to mention, these verification companies have had links to places like Palantir.

The for the children argument is one to be skeptical of when it goes hand in hand with less privacy. I’d expect more awareness of this from people on lemmy than those on reddit.

Gunpla and reading are really nice ways to pass the time.

It depends on material too. Algorithm makes recommendations based on similar video, and something like Star Wars for instance has a lot of angry conservatives ranting about it so can skew towards youtube recommendations including them in Star Wars content.

On the other hand searching Expanse is less likely to see those conservative rant channels, since not as much content like that is made for it.

So even though Expanse and Star Wars are scifi, viewing and searching both of them will have different levels of right wing centered media you are likely to be recommended.

And depending on topic of interest the ideology of the most popular channels which youtube promotes also dictates what you’ll be recommended even if you don’t watch the channel. Like if you search PC stuff LTT will always dominate the first few pages of search results.

Yeah, I like OS installed on separate drives and selecting the one I want to boot off of in BIOS. Gets trickier on laptop though that doesn’t have multiple drives.

I use lemmy not because of privacy since public forums aren’t private, but to move away from corporate social spaces profiting off their user base. And also getting back third party apps.

Lemmy feels more like old school Internet of people discussing and talking because they want to as opposed to the whole spaces end goal being to figure out how to IPO.

Few powerful people deciding everything and millions falling in line and the few outliers being affected even if they opt out due to decisions of millions of others who support the few powerful sums up the world.

It makes sense now why in old scifi movies everything looked all dusty despite being the future.

Youtube is Google. I don’t see a positive to handing over personal information to Google which is necessary to give them money, and just makes it easier for Google to have all information tied to one signed in account. Having no Google account is best.
