I stopped playing just before talent trees. Likely worth giving another go?

I think the biggest issue is how nearly certain this is to be used on citizens as well (if it isn’t already). I think it’s pretty short hops from ‘something they don’t like posted’ -> search or confiscate phone every time you cross international border -> ???

And none of this requires probable cause or a warrant.

Anyone endorse this game? Maybe if you like it why or what similar games you also like.

Always seemed interesting…

Cloud sync, ease of use, ability to be a comp, massive catalog. I don’t use my switch anymore tbh.

Yes thankfully I realized this after a bit because I could not click in and block due to crash!

I don’t disagree with your premise but I do think the latter two should be mostly avoidable as issues. If the workers are involved in the decisions then they would be able to spend (or decide it is not worth the expense) on cooling technology (AC for indoors or any other outdoor/personal solutions). Seems less of an issue than saying corporate doesn’t care etc.

Unfortunately this is probably true. I for one did delete my account and am working on figuring out Lemmy now but hey.

Yeah there usually not much you can do but hope for a change. Mine had drinking problems and was much like this. Went sober finally and he still is similar politically just not insufferable and can take a joke so it’s far more pleasant to be around him.

Good luck…

Yes it’s still in use and very bad. Here is the most important snippet:

“It’s creepy what they’re doing, but there will be many more of these companies. There is no monopoly on math,” said Al Gidari, a privacy professor at Stanford Law School. “Absent a very strong federal privacy law, we’re all screwed.”

Also here is an arguably better article: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/my-chilling-run-in-with-a-secretive-facial-recognition-app/ar-AA1hlrxc

The short answer is bad in US less bad in countries that banned its use but can’t put genie back in the bottle even there. The concept is not crazy.
