  • I’m sorry but they don’t actually want you to have money. They want you to have credit. Lots and lots of credit if possible. Because then they win twice. Once in the purchases and second in the interest.

  • I’m not sure about toys, but watching my son grow up with app stores has made me very aware of how so called “games” have been monetizing our children makes me want some real legislation and restrictions on what is legal to market to children. The “idle” category of games is just egregious. They’re a flimsy and thin veneer of game painted over a bank machine. AAA is not much better - they just have more complicated routes take your money.

  • Maybe we need to update the nomenclature. Software with loot boxes, pay to win mechanics, predatory gameplay loops, and storefront-first design should now be called “casinos”. They should have disclaimers about gambling and addiction in their load screen, have age restrictions, and should be forced to institute limits on what can be spent in a certain time frame. Feature-complete software with zero storefronts of any kind would be allowed to brand themselves as “games”.

  • This thinking just feels like moving in the wrong direction. As an elementary teacher, I know that by next year all my assessments need to be practical or interview based. LLMs are here to stay and the quicker we learn to work with them the better off students will be.

  • I’m exactly the same. I feel like the opportunity to have a productive conversation on Lemmy is a lot higher. There are fewer of us right now but we are the motivated minority kicking Reddit to the curb for its terrible actions and we want to see Lemmy thrive.

  • It needs to be smart so that it will be robust, redundant, and resilient. An inefficient prosecution strategy lets trump’s lawyers delay it possibly defeat the process in a variety of ways. Anyway - law isn’t usually black and white - that’s why the court apparatus exists.

  • If they plan this correctly he’ll have at least one conviction on the books when the election takes place next November, making him ineligible for election and keeping him off the ballot. He’ll appeal of course, but by then it’ll be his problem and not ours.

  • Business groups and lobbyists have aggressively opposed efforts at state and federal levels to enact heat protection standards for workers, claiming employers already practice what a standard would mandate, expressing concerns about the burden on employers, and claiming the efforts take a “wrong approach”.

    No matter what regulations were implemented, regulators would have to watch them like a hawk to make sure they complied anyway. Also - people wouldn’t be dying if the current standards were sufficient for the current climate.
