Honestly back when I was a kid this is how I thought games were made, every possible image of a game was already saved and according to your input it just loaded the next image.

I stopped thinking that with 3d games

It was never just the anonymity, it was the lack of consequences as well. Combined those two often lead to people showing their worst selves.

Now though? Often those worst characteristics are applauded by others. It's disappointing.

Ironically having a giant security breach happen in a security focused messaging app was good advertising.

Of course in this instance the breach was not because of the app, which is a good thing I guess.

Excuse me, that's President Musk and First Lady Trump.

Remember kids, if someone offers you drugs, say "yes thank you" because drugs are expensive.

The only shocking thing is that the rich idiot who said "fuck you" to all the safety standards actually suffered consequences.

Cameras above each door to gather data.

Ads on the doors.

Because EVERY SINGLE SQUARE INCH OF EVERY SURFACE MUST MAKE PROFIT.

I would complain and stop shopping there, and encourage others to complain as well. Hell leave the doors propped open to help people see what's inside, even though it'll run up their electricity bill and spoil the contents. Aslo remember to bring in one of those window-cracker car safety things and have a go at breaking the screens if you want to be even more rebellious.

They don't care. It's the film industry equivalent to the Microsoft support scammers. Get a bunch of targets, spam out hundreds of thousands of threatening emails, profit off the small percent of people who fall for it.

Apple support their version of right to repair.

You have the right to repair your Apple device on their terms, with their overpriced tools, with their overpriced parts, following their restrictive terms, and authenticate almost every repair with Apple.

If you try and get a part from another supplier, or source your own genuine parts from dead devices that's going to cause "bugs", like faceID or auto brightness not working if you have the audacity to repair "their" device.

They're also going to work like hell to use any loophole that allows them to deny self repair.

Remember, it's Apple's device, you're just using it.

Yes, this reads jaded as hell. But given all the things Apple have done to deny self or 3rd party repair it's hardly lies.

Why is this even a comparison? India only went to the moon, interstellar had to go to other freaking solar systems and a black hole to make their documentary!

Sadly, I think they will get them, one way or another.

All it will take is a handful of people desperate for money agreeing to be 3d scanned, and maybe a few months of interns saying yes/no to particular faces, and bam, hundreds of extras ready to be used and abused for decades to cover.

I hope other governments, small and large, start doing this.
