I should’ve clarified, with “this” i mean more the general sentiment about regulation of these lootboxes that I’ve seen in other contexts as well - other than the general topic I don’t really have an opinion on the lawsuit other than it seeming a bit ridicous to reimburse every customer in full.

There is one core difference to most other lootboxes, and it’s that the skins you get from them have a tangible real world value. It is actually, in every way, resemblant of a slot machine. Put in money, receive an amount of money that is less than what you put in on average (though I guess it’s never 0).

I’d have far more support for this if we didn’t have something matching this entirely for decades, completely legal for kids, with the only difference being that you get a physical item instead of something digital. Of course, I’m referring to trading cards. By all means regulate both, but regulating the digital version while not touching the physical one is insane.

Having steam installed both ways was the easiest way to be logged in to 2 steam accounts simultaneously.

But also why does it matter, the whole point of arch is that you can turn it into whatever the hell you want. If that means using discover as your main source for programs, then so be it.

You need to fill tax info and everything, which is a very good reason to not need ID because your tax number should be identifying already. I guess they want to combat fraud, but this still seems like a complete overreach.

Nitro is pretty popular. I know a lot of people including myself that cancelled it over the age verification bs.

They still clearly make money through ads and at the very least they scan messages for spam prevention, but also the fact that they are able to guess users age based on discord usage implies they’re profiling users. For which they probably also utilize message content.

Someone… touched what some stranger is wearing to remove it… and it wasn’t an emergency???

What the fuck is wrong with people

With the amount of random attention from men women get, the rate doesn’t have to be very high for it to be regular, particularly when you add selection bias that people who react like that are probably more likely to approach someone in the first place.

And while I would agree it’s probably higher than 1%, 1% really sounds lower than it is - that would be 40 million people globally. If it’s 5% it’s 200 million and there are still almost 4 billion that are completely normal.

The sad reality is that it just doesn’t take high numbers for that kind of experience to be a regular occurence.

I get it though, even if only 1% of men react violently to direct rejection, it makes sense to be careful. Not a lottery you want to play.

So much of dating dynamic feels like it’s just been ruined by a few assholes, and the internet giving those assholes more reach only exacerbates it.

Women’s breasts are far more sensitive. Also the part where usually they’re in a bra all day probably matters.

I’ve found that clicking them slower (until the new image is fully faded in) can help for the ones that have images disappearing after clicking, and not actually clicking every square containing part of the traffic light (if it’s only a tiny edge) helps with the ones that are one image of a thing. I guess being fast or noticing details isn’t human enough. Having to wait is insanely annoying though.

If they want to be spammed with gdpr takedown requests sure…

If there is an image scan then yea it’ll be a problem, otherwise rhe server being 18+ is just a setting you have no reason to turn on, and as long as you don’t write nsfw in the channel name, discord won’t know something’s an nsfw channel either.

In any case still really unlucky this happened right after you switched lol

Tbh for that use case this changes nothing, it’s a horrible change for all the usual reasons but it’s only implementing the stuff that was already the case in the UK for everyone. So age verification is needed for servers that set themselves as 18+ and for nsfw channels (and there might be some ai image scanning bs to determine if sent images are nsfw?), but for just talking to people you can supposedly still use it without age verification.

Still, it’ll probably get worse eventually.

This is what unranked modes are for, generally, and when there is no equivalent unranked mode that’s definitely a failure of the game. Csgo had that issue for a looooooooong time as well.

There are also other legitimate reasons. The drunk account can be one (since even unranked modes often use skill based matchmaking), or the actual practice one (I feel for my alternate universe teammates in which I didn’t use a smurf to learn how to play more than one char in league).

Bu5 I do feel like the negative impact from people using smurfs for ego boost or to be an asshole in some way far outweighs the upsides, sadly.

Thanks, now I know a little more about ancient greek demographics! Well it still seems to be mainly about greeks in africa, but some exchange both ways seems inevitable when it’s that prominent.

…the first search result being about a community that in its largest part started existing in 1923 is relevant to ancient history?

I mean I don’t know enough about ancient demographics to comment on whether there would feasibly be more than an extremely tiny minority of sub-saharan africans in ancient greece, but claiming someone didn’t search and then providing an irrelevant search result has a certain irony to it.

Switched almost exactly one year ago. I have a win 10 dualboot for some things (mainly occasional lol/tft, and osu tournaments because for some reason that stutters under wine on my pc even though it runs perfectly fine on my laptop).

The nicest thing is not constantly being annoyed by my OS. I’m forced to use win 11 at work and my god I hate it. Whenever I boot into win 10 at home I also want to rip my hair out, granted it was a lot better on my previous install where I bothered to debloat it.

I’m not really a fan of how “hidden” program installs (at least through package managers) are, but it’s all in the same place and windows programs have been moving there anyway, putting everything in appdata, and to make it worse it’s often split up and there’s random registry entries. So I’m not really bothered by it.

I also have some minor issues with kde, like it deciding to regularly reorder search results (seriously I search for “disc” and always launch discord, but the top spot rotates between discord and discover, so I misclick whenever it changes). Also ever since plasma 6.5 my clipboard has been semi-broken, “copy to clipboard” buttons in the browser don’t work, and screenshots don’t automatically go into the clipboard either until I click the button for it. If anyone has a fix for either of those things I’d love to hear it.

I also didn’t know i needed a dropdown terminal until I had a dropdown terminal and now I can’t live without it.

That’s not even artistic ability, that’s just basic tool use.

…but yea that still applies

Sadly yup. Not quite everyone the same way, but psychology is still pretty scary. Thankfully the manosphere mostly isn’t anywhere neae what actually works with their bs

It’s just her character design, she’s a genshin character (yoimiya).
