  • Roblox is the absolute worst thing for kids.

    All my kid's friends are on it so I feel bad not allowing them to use it, but there's no way to set it up that doesn't allow them to access these horrible experiences without also blocking access to pretty much every normal experience.

    The devs are allowed to set their own maturity level so this experience probably has the same maturity as Grow a Garden.

    So I have to just constantly monitor it and manually block inappropriate stuff, but there's a limit of 200 for blocking which I've already hit. It's the worst.

  • I fully agree we need something new. And I hope we get it. I can readily imagine better ways to tackle the problems we have.

    The problem with "post scarcity" is that every time I dig into the details of what "post scarcity" government proposals are, they are basically just communism rehashed with some arm waving about "technology", so until I see some better proposals than that, I am very skeptical of anyone proposing "post scarcity" as a solution. Hence why I replied to you with my feelings about communism. To me, they are the same things in their current incarnation. Even if you take away money. There is still some central government that is doling out resources, and someone doing the production of those resources which want some compensation for their work. I don't see that changing any time soon. But maybe someday if we get true AGI and AGI robots, we can give them all the work and let them do this..

    I'm sure someone will still try to slant the playing field their way like Musk is trying with Grok, though.

  • Me exactly. I keep a lot of the streaming services because I don't want to host a bunch of 4k stuff myself, though I do often get the 1080p stuff for when I fly on planes or haven't yet re upped my subscription for the show I want to watch. But many shows aren't on any of the sub services in my country, so those are straight to the seedbox.
