Probably a case of "hate the game not the player" CSAM is highly illegal, no doubt these accounts are getting banned but likely not charged (who knows what jurisdiction the adverti…

nah, it's more than just politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_... Works on humans too. Garbage in garbage out.

Personally I find these kinds of things fascinating. Partially for the practical problem it represents and it's facets but also the one sided backlash of it all. Moderation is an i…

So you're saying the employee who hit enter is legally liable?

Have you watched a Marvel movie lately? even though the tech is better it looks worse,it's over used and shipped fast. I think they're just lazier about it even in blockbuster titl…

Honestly I feel like I've already lived this when CGI began eating practical effects in movies. Lots of people hated CGI. then it got better, then it got worse again but by then it…

Not sure exactly what the criteria is. ip blocks maybe? was working for me, then stopped, switched vpn locations, works. I think they've been slow rolling it, eventually it will be…

Super interesting if this proves to be a viable technique. I would absolutely love to see some native PC releases of Nintendo games (I know big N will never do it) Sad it's not ava…

Curious as to where the line between “addictive feature” and "good UX" is. Is deliberate pagination actual impedance to use or merely an annoyance that's been weeded out with moder…
