I heard about that too. The technology produced there is too valuable to be left to invaders.

Yes

You can be against an immediate global threat without being against better conditions for your country. One does not exclude the other. Nuance and priority.

But what does it do???

Goddamn, that's a lot of caffeine on a lemonade, wth

Most people will never question Google or Meta's data harvesting while using their apps, but I'm sure you know this already.

The issue with offering me money directly for personal information is that I'd immediately nope away because that sounds like a scam or something malicious.

"Personal data" is something very abstract and most people have little to no idea what it means to give it away. Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to limit what's being shared so even those that have a vague understanding of what it means may not care too much.

I don't have social media accounts and I've been using VPNs nonstop for the last 10 years. Degoogled, Firefox, uBlock Origin, PiHole, etc. I got used to this, but it's a balancing act. I don't self host. I'm forced to use Windows at work. Credit card for groceries and stuff.

It's incredibly weird to think how easy it is to create a behavior profile of the average joe. It's unsettling to imagine companies like Meta and Google have decade's worth of data on people.

As you said, they shouldn't share that, but they do. And in places with no way to have that data "erased", some people will have an unfathomable amount of information about them harvested throughout their whole life.

Even if that data is never used for anything malicious, it's still disturbing.

It wasn’t until they ported about 70% of Skyrim Together’s revered code to the Starfield project, though, that they bumped into a problem: “This game is fucking trash.”

“I didn't realize this until after I actually started playing the damn game a week after launch,” they say. “The game is boring, bland, and the main draw of Bethesda games, exploration in a lively and handcrafted world, was completely gone.

The modder started working on it before playing the game. It's kind of funny in a way, but also cool that they wanted to give people multiplayer ASAP.

I did a quick search and found this: https://www.europol.europa.eu/report-a-crime/report-illegal-content-on-the-internet

Not sure how helpful that can be. You should report it to the FBI just in case. They may be able to pass that information along to the Interpol or something.

Just because the dude wants to rule as God on earth doesn't mean you can't have a nuanced, neutral view on him! /s

What a handsome little fella. They seem comfortable and relaxed already! Congrats on being adopted, OP!

That thing is ugly as sin

Can you imagine how it would be like to see Theia about to hit proto-Earth just above you? Then "pause" the scene and look at it a few hundred kilometres away...

Or just peek inside the clouds of the gas giants...

Or the depths of frozen moon oceans...

Or stars being slingshot'ed near supermassive black holes ...

Dang, it almost feels like a curse to know how big and vast the universe is while being confined inside a single body for a few decades...

Honestly I'd love the power of being able to see any point in space and time. To witness the birth and death of stars and look around alien shores. To peek at the absurdity of the diversity of life eons before human history.

I'd probably go mad pretty fast but hey, it'd be pretty neat.

There will be tales of the mysterious stranger who gifted the party arcane knowledge before vanishing in the blink of an eye...

As the young adventurers rushed to their guild, ready to share the treasure they were handed by the kind traveller, they could hear seven canaries singing happily.
