Can you link any research or study into this? It sounds interesting. I thought sentience meant being conscious of oneself, or self awareness

It was an example of anecdotal evidence. Your post isn't really an opinion either, unless you count "I think the sky is actually not that blue" as an opinion that should be on this community.

Not saying you're not allowed to have your opinions. But at the same time I'm allowed to call you out for being wrong

It is why humans are not fully sentient

I think I understand what you mean, but we are sentient. Unless you're talking about us from an alien's perspective

How about you look up a study instead of relying on your own experience? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5797716/

Its like saying "smoking doesn't kill, grandma smoked a pack a day until she was 89 and she's fine!"

That's what the world needs. Smart notifications. And I'm not being sarcastic, this is such a good example of how something like that enriches the user experience that a timer on your phone could never achieve. Keep it up!

Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said "what?" or a variety thereof? Good times.

It would make sense to require a company to release the code for players to host their own servers, which has been done by many games in the past. Not to continue to run it themselves.

That's basically what people are asking for. Instead of not being playable anymore, give consumers the means to keep it going for themselves.

This could mean always-online having to be gutted from the game after it's support ends so you can play it offline. Or server hosting files to host your own private or public server.

The goal is to have games not be impossible to play after X amount of time. How companies reach that goal is up to them.

As https://lemmy.world/u/efstajas pointed out, it's pretty common.

Discord doesn't sell your data. They repeatedly state they don't in their terms of service, and they would be in big trouble if caught lying about that.

Edit:

Discord's privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:

We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.

This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They've already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for "took people's personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn't do that"

Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to "sell" your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.

Thanks to a redditor for this write up

It's not related to the pronoun picker bot, it's just for analytics

You don't give your gender to Discord when signing up. It's also nothing to do with the pronouns that you can set with the integrated app/bot, that only counts for the server you're in

“Like other companies, we use information to help us understand our business and improve the product. That includes certain inferences we may make about users. We include this information in users’ data requests for transparency, and users can limit the information we use by toggling the “Use data to improve Discord” off in the Privacy & Safety settings.”

So nothing really interesting. They are allowed to make a guess at my gender, I don't care. They don't have 3rd party ads and don't sell my data, so it's cool.

I know this goes against the grain here and we love to pile on walled gardens, but it's really nothing out of the ordinary.

What? People are just curious how they got a ban by the site admins instead of a subreddit. It takes a bit more to pull that off than just posting an unpopular opinion.

Great exhibit of Godwin's law, though.

Why do you need two apps on each platform to replace one? I would love to switch over things but this makes it sound so much more complicated than it probably is

No, that was the temp ban. The perma ban had to do with a lost song thread

While I agree with everything said, using Google to find out how many episodes your own podcast has just seems a bit lazy. Bookmark the page, and next time you want to do your admin work you can follow the bookmarks and be done with it. Easy fix.

Also, use DDG

This is not about US bottle caps

Again, it's simply faster to turn off data and scan the QR code than it is to force my phone to connect to a network that isn't connected to the internet.

You have to connect to the network in order to transfer anything, so what do you mean? I'm talking the second QR code that's simply a link to the IP address I linked. I can just open my browser (after being connected to the Switch's WiFi) and type a 1 to let it autofill to skip scanning it at all.

Only on the beta branch at the moment, so if you're on a different storefront you can't get an early peek.

Perfect excuse to start over for me. Even though old saves should be compatible, but with early access YMMV

First ever open well game!

You can either love or hate dunkey's style, but the fact that he published this game should mean something. Picking this up as soon as I can, it looks gorgeous as well.

Why would Valve delist a game? Can you elaborate on what kind of speculation was made?
