I also came across the same study while looking to disprove a conspiracy nut. We should really do more research on the effects of fluoride.

I’ve never had a problem with grey sticks. GameCube and 360 had grey, and they disintegrate before they ever get discolored. My C stick inevitably ends up scuffed and looking like the tip of a yellow marker after you color over black though
The ceiling tiles just thrown aside, dropping cables everywhere is such a vibe. They really were scrappy up starts
I’ll definitely throw a can of tuna on a box of Mac to get some protein in there. It somehow feels slightly classier than the cut up hotdogs of my childhood
Ok this one is cursed. You win
Smash em up and it’s not much different than Doritos or something. Not my go to but I’ve done it in a pinch
Instant mashed potatoes with American cheese melted in, and a variety of seasonings, butter, toppings etc. It’s a great, cheap way to make a bowl out of random leftovers, protein or whatever. But I wouldn’t dare serve it to someone.
‘quickadilla’ I’ll slap a tortilla on a cold pan, turn on the heat and build it right in the pan while it heats up with shredded cheese and left over meat. Takes 5 minutes and it’s at least as good as Taco Bell, and actually warm and melted.
More of a meal I’d actually be willing to share, but not brag about because it’s sort of a bastardization of cultures. But I’ll often make a curry using Japanese curry blocks, and season chicken in a vaguely Indian style, then put it over rice. Really simple and delicious. I’m kind of proud of it but I wouldn’t even know how to explain it to someone, much less actually serve it.
Yeah I had the GOTY edition with shivering isles etc, but if it came with the horse armor I have no memory of it. I certainly didn’t buy it with horse armor in mind. I’d like to know if that was included in the figures.
We know pretty damn well that people buy cosmetics though, especially in the current gaming landscape. So he’s right, and we all lost something important here
Okay that’s fine, but when websites are effectively writing
if user_agent_string != [chromium]
break;
It doesn’t really matter how good compatibility is. I’ve had websites go from nothing but a “Firefox is not supported, please use Chrome” splash screen to working just fine with Firefox by simply spoofing the user agent to Chrome. Maybe some feature was broken, but I was able to do what I needed. More often than not they just aren’t testing it and don’t want to support other browsers.
The more insidious side of this is that websites will require and attempt to enforce Chrome as adblocking gets increasingly impossible on them, because it aligns with their interests. It’s so important for the future of the web that we resist this change, but I think it’s too late.
The world wide web is quickly turning into the dark alley of the internet that nobody is willing to walk down.
Yeah this is a hard one to navigate and it’s the only thing I’ve ever found that challenges my philosophy on the freedom of information.
The archive itself isn’t causing the abuse, but CSAM is a record of abuse and we restrict the distribution not because distribution or possession of it is inherently abusive, but because the creation of it was, and we don’t want to support an incentive structure for the creation of more abuse.
i.e. we don’t want more pedos abusing more kids with the intention of archival/distribution. So the archive itself isn’t the abuse, but the incentive to archive could be.
There’s also a lot of questions with CSAM in general that come up about the ethics of it in that I think we aren’t ready to think about. It’s a hard topic all around and nobody wants to seriously address it beyond virtue signalling about how bad it is.
I could potentially see a scenario where the archival could be beneficial to society similar to the FBI hash libraries Apple uses to scan iCloud for CSAM. If we throw genAI at this stuff to learn about it, we may be able to identify locations, abusers and victims to track them down and save people. But it would necessitate the existence of the data to train on.
I could also see potential for using CSAM itself for psychotherapy. Imagine a sci-fi future where pedos are effectively cured by using AI trained on CSAM to expose them to increasingly mature imagery, allowing their attraction to mature with it. We won’t really know if something like that is possible if we delete everything. It seems awfully short sighted to me to delete data no matter how perverse, because it could have legitimate positive applications that we haven’t conceived of yet. So to that end, I do hope some 3 letter agencies maintain their restricted archives of data for future applications that could benefit humanity.
All said, I absolutely agree that the potential of creating incentives for abusers to abuse is a major issue with immutable archival, and it’s definitely something that we need to figure out, before such an archive actually exists. So thank you for the thought experiment.
No. The archive of it isn’t doing the dangerous part. The info was already out there and the bad actor who would do something malicious would get that info from the same place the archive did. I need you to show how the archival of information that was already released leads to a dangerous situation that didn’t already exist.
If they’re leaked, they’re leaked. The archive doesn’t change that one way or the other
this would be impossible
Perfect.
I’d be interested in seeing real examples where lives are threatened. I find it unlikely that the internet archive would be the exclusive arbiter of so-called deadly information
I can’t say this did or didn’t happen, but I absolutely had ‘philosophical’ thoughts like this as a kid.
When I was ~10 I asked my mom how we know other people aren’t ‘aliens or something’. She just dismissed me as being silly, and I didn’t know it at the time but in retrospect I was absolutely experiencing and asking her about solipsism.
I didn’t know it was ‘philosophy’ but I think it’s integral to how we experience the world and sentience in general.
Yeah it’d almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.
I’m currently getting MEETS_DEVICE_INTREGRITY with play integrity fix, which is enough for Google Pay to work. The only thing that I haven’t been able to do is drive for Uber or use RCS oddly enough. RCS happened to fix itself about a month ago as well.
Can you work around it with magisk like rooted stock android? I bought my pixel specifically for graphene but google pay is the main thing preventing me from switching
"Valve’s in-development moba Deadlock picked up a couple new non-game features in an update this week, all of which are intended to make the experience of play among a larger population much better. The major first update is a low priority queue, which will place players in a secondary queue that’s less likely to match. Players can be placed in low priority by abandoning games or for bad behavior, and will have to complete a certain number of full games in order to return to normal matchmaking.
Players can also now lose access to certain capabilities in-game as punishments, such as matchmaking, voice and text chat, pausing, and even reporting other players for abuse.
It’s a nice step forward, and an inevitable one, in what will probably be one of the highest-profile open development cycles since Valorant’s late 2019 and early 2020 betas. They’ll need that pretty quick, to be honest—they’ve already got cheaters messing around in there which is honestly pretty sad for the cheaters. It’s not even a finished game.
Deadlock has certainly been the subject of much discussion here at PC Gamer, with Morgan Park letting us all know that even if it has guns it’s probably not a shooter and Justin Wagner ignoring him completely in order to go and play more deadlock.
“Deadlock gives me the same feeling Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 did before they consumed my life,” said Wagner.
“Deadlock is an iteration on the MOBA, but it’s not an incremental one. While so many games have come and gone angling to “reinvent” the genre by shifting the camera angle or tweaking a few mechanics, this game is so stuffed with new ideas it’s difficult to appraise just how much depth it all lends,” he continued.
Either way, everyone can agree on who the best gargoyle in Deadlock is."
