Are you saying that blocks that are trivial to bypass are not very useful? Hmmm... (Also, I'll point out there are parental control settings for Google accounts)

Or maybe they just wanted to mix fantasy and tech? Or maybe it wasn't intentional, but emergent... sort of like, you know, playing in a sandbox? Villager trading is another new(ish) mechanic I don't partake in. I know others who d

There are literally countless fully legitimate porn sites that aren't Pornhub and that won't give you "malware" It's not 1999 anymore. Stop going to sketchy sites to watch porn.

All of those things seem like upsides to me! And for what it's worth, I think I've visited The End once? What makes it a sandbox is that you can play however you want - let The End be your goal, if you'd like, or just mine an

It's been a long time since I looked into it, but is pirating Adobe's products viable these days? I thought it was pretty much impossible, and the last piratable release is quite old.

I bought it like, 15 years ago, and have enjoyed most updates, though certainly not all. I would not say anything "ruined" the game; I was just making a joke about which versions mod developers support

I don't really think this would be the end of the world, would it? Much of the content they've added over the past few years has been of questionable merit, at least to me. Surely at some point they'll run out of ideas that c

For those in the modding scene, what difference, if any, will this make? Will this enable anything that was previously not possible?

I guess I'm being stupid, but how exactly are you implying they should have phrased it instead? The title seems fine to me?

A person's trustworthiness has always been based more on perception though, even if you were familiar with more of their history - that's how you end up with members of a community who are perfectly kind people but are ostracized

There's a vast difference between "friends who challenge your views in constructive ways" and "people who make you feel unsafe" I feel like GP was probably not referring to the latter.

For many people, the benefits of friendships are not just reduced to the physical tangible things a friend might do for you.

The idea of replacing "blind people" with "people with blindness" has absolutely nothing to do with the idea that "blind" is negative - if it did, I suspect proponents would, you know, not use the word blind! T

There is "the rich", and that they have competing interests isn't really relevant to the issue of their ability to purchase influence in media. It doesn't matter if their interest is "good" or "bad" (

Even more yikes. They found a third-party LLM-generated podcast and made the policy even harsher because of it? What happens when they continue to run into more LLM-generated content out in the wild? Interestingly, this is exactly the sort

Wouldn't any system that enables funding be susceptible to influence by the rich? Why would any sort of P2P/decentralized/etc system be impervious to that?

I came here to check this. I find it extremely annoying how often we hear about "massive recalls" that are really just OTA updates.

Not really. An ad hominem argument would be more like calling GP an idiot for thinking it should be "trivial" to find civilizations in the universe, but I wouldn't do that.

The idea that humanity is the only civilization in the entire universe strikes me as the absolute height of human arrogance.
