That’s a damn bummer. Game plays great, and with the microtransactions they’re gonna make bank. I’m curious where the decision came from to do this, rather than hiring voice talent.
And client-side anticheat solutions aren’t great at preventing cheating, anyways. Anticheats are still bypassed by smart software design or by using third-party devices, like the Cronus. COD’s intrusive newer anticheat didn’t stop hacking in ranked play this past year, for instance.
I recommend this video from Serious, who has experience with modded clients and developed a patch to secure BO3 when it was unsafe to play.
I can’t believe how hard it is to avoid drawn or generated cp on there— and you can only ignore one tag without premium, so it’s not viable to manually make a blocklist :(
On the flip side, studies haven’t come to a single consensus of viewing cp leading to reduced violence by individuals either.
While a full-ban infringes upon individual rights of expression and speech, and may impede in previous victims viewing it as an alternative, I’m not sure if a laissez faire approach is the best option, either.
Especially for material that A) depicts abuse and B) is harder to distinguish between fiction and reality (AI generated content), the risk of psychological harm to individuals without existing trauma or fetishes is very real. I stand by this fact for violent/unethical media as well.
My bigger concern is the normalization of and exposure to those ideas and concepts (sexualization of children). That’s also why I dislike loli/shota media, despite it being fictional.
That said, I still think it’s a much better alternative to CSAM and especially to actually harming a child for those who have those desires due to trauma or mental illness. Though I’m not sure if easy, open access is entirely safe, either.
Music publishers have historically been a serious force in copyright protection, so it’ll be interesting to see where this goes. They’d put in far more of a legal battle than artists, writers, coders or other people whose work has been used in training models.
Beehaw admins said that the scale of lemmy.world as well as open user registration and community creation made moderating with currently available tools essentially impossible. Beehaw is actually planning on migrating away completely from Lemmy after a recent CSAM incident.
I think 7 days with no human connection whatsoever would be difficult for anyone. However, I consider texting, social media and online games valid human connection. Frankly, I may even consider single player games or reading books human connection (as far as social needs are concerned), as you’re still interacting with a human creation and ideas.
True social isolation is nightmarish to me. But I’m pretty extroverted, anyways.
The car did what it was programmed to do— unfortunately, that’s not what was best for the time. I think some kind of human override is needed for this type of situation.
But this feels more like a general car problem than anything. Car infrastructure is typically not pedestrian friendly :(
It is, but by default it’s locked to Amazon’s App Store. With this tool, a computer and a few minutes, you can sideload Google play and Google services. It also has lots of other customization options, like installing different launchers. I’d imagine that “Google Play Pass” would work then.
For videos, I bet it was .mkv they mentioned. mkv can have different codecs and different tracks, including audio and subtitles. I see it used often for tv and movies. I’m not sure if there’s disadvantages to it for general videos, like ones shot right from a camera.
I’ve been happy with .7z or .tar.* for file archiving and compression, but I don’t know the pros or cons of each. I think there’s room for different methods of compression though, so a standard format should be able to use multiple.
For font families, .otf seems good for realtime text rendering. Seems any newer standards are mostly targeted at graphic design.
I assume boys is adults in this context, in which case 🥰 boys 🥰
