provably fair bitcoin casinos have been a thing for more than a decade now. "Satoshi Dice" was probably the biggest one, back in the day. Looks like it's still running

You wont see crypto influencers on Tiktok if you don't engage with the videos. A couple "not interested"s and I haven't seen one in months.

To be more specific, I am concerned about addressing surveillance-ware on a nationalist basis because it strengthens the political power of domestic surveillance-ware. If the data is dangerous, no one should be allowed to collect, store and

> makes me think the community has been infiltrated by Chinese agents or other special interest groups astroturfing. Astroturfing accusations are intellectually lazy and against the community guidelines of this site.

Read two paragraphs down in the wikipedia article you copied that from: " In 2015, Guerra testified to an international tribunal that he had lied and changed his story multiple times in the RICO trial. Guerra admitted that there was no

I don't think I've ever seen the term "whataboutism" used except in cases where the accuser wants to dismiss an argument but can't refute the point. Laziest logical fallacy accusation IMO.

I think US hegemony is the biggest threat to global stability, but this is starting to veer off topic.

I think you'd be surprised at how effective Chinese people are at discussing the things they aren't allowed to without getting spotted by the censors. Lots of slang terms get used, and the discussion continues.

Do you think that the tech companies that give deep access to US intelligence services are going to advertise it?

You don't think the NSA/DHS has a giant social graph database of US citizens? I'd be shocked if they didn't.

The US government has become much more authoritarian since 9/11 and nationalism is on the rise. A few big tech companies have spent hundreds of millions keeping the state out of their databases, which probably gets billed to their PR

I'm a US citizen and am more concerned about the US government than the CCP, particularly because of the amount of power each entity can hold over me.

Its your analogy. If you think it is misleading, maybe you should have chosen a different one. Maybe check your internal biases on why you chose one which includes murderous intent.

Yeah. The main thing that bothers me is that the media isn't discussing any generalized data protection reforms as a response to this - the story is "data collection is only scary because it's china doing it."

To answer my own question - the in-browser keylogger story was concerning to me. If it was actually transmitting the within-browser keystroke data back to tiktok servers, that would be quite concerning... except that I already avoid their

"What if China did what facebook did, but more competently" lol

China is a national competitor, not an enemy who intends to kill us. Sinophobic propaganda has been unfortunately effective on too many people.

Can anyone point to something that TikTok is doing that FB/Google/Twitter aren't already doing, that we should be concerned about? All the anti-tiktok takes seem to be rooted in sinophobia and nationalist sour grapes. I don&

All of that should have been integral to the initial version of the game. I'd balk at a game that lets you play singleplayer but you have to pay extra if you want the world to feel real.

I don't think expansions would solve this. What the world needs is random NPC events and non-quest things to find in the world. - Overhear conversations about someone going to do a clandestine deal, then rob that person and the person

Are these supposed to be evidence that paypal doesn't fuck over businesses engaging in benign transactions? Because just seems to be evidence that paypal fucks a lot of businesses over.

The overwhelming majority of stories I hear about paypal fucking over businesses are about benign transactions. I don't think your judgmental paranoia is founded.

There are a number of well established image similarity algorithms that could be used past simple equality.
