You would also have to make skipping to any point in the video impossible then as folks could just jump ahead until they are past the embedded ad.

Wait, patience, patience

Now you’ve made me throw up in my mouth.

That is just unforgivable.

You’re going to make me cry remembering my days with gpm. Hands down the best music platform that was.

I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn’t that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don’t think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.

I could be missing something though.

What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

Yeah the same conversations have occurred in my household. I think you made the right choice here. I’m a huge gamer myself and developer, not on Roblox. Usually if anything it’s me being the lenient one when it comes to games in our home, vice my wife. This is one that I did not allow from day 1 regardless of the age of the kid. It was apparent to be a bad apple to me from my initial looks at it, and has only proven that point over the years. I can’t imagine though how hard it is for most parents who are not entrenched in that industry to navigate decisions like that.

That statement doesn’t really make sense. Especially in this case, the website is a business and a store. A government definitely has the right to take legal action against a physical store operating within it’s jurisdiction, so why would the same not hold true for an electronic one?

For government positions it’s about retention as they are competing with the private sector for employees.

I wasn’t talking about good AdSense in this case, just the page you are redirected to if you are coming from one of their marked VPN IP addresses. Unless this has changed since the last time I attempted to go to Reddit with a VPN on. But that’s the behavior I’ve witnessed.

Not a code change at all, just a filtering of the traffic from particular ip’s and forwarding it to a different page which is all that reddit is doing as well.

No it was clearly an official duty as defined circa 2024

I think he’s just asking for a properly documented Pull Request in order to process your thoughts.

Check out Cobalt Core. Great game in that and vein.

Most new Linux users if not all, are unable to make an educated decision on package management. The UI that they think they will like better would be more important.

Federated doesn’t mean open.

Are you arguing it’s someone else’s fault if you spill hot coffee on yourself?

Yes I would say that the brain bleeding is probably a physical installation issue, not frying the brain.

I think though you’re reading more into my comments than are there. I’ve not said I’m for getting a chip in my brain nor anyone else’s, including the primates. My comment was around the point that if you are going to argue or fight something, you need to be honest on how you do it. Your clear emotional response to this is keeping you from seeing that. Over sensationalizing or misrepresenting the facts doesn’t help your stance. The truth here is that they really messed up at least a couple of times with the physical installation of the chips, that led to a degradation in the quality of life of the test subjects and eventually death. But not anything that would be like “frying” someone’s brain. And that, those facts alone should give one pause before signing up for anything like this. Especially when you consider, no matter who or what company pursues this, this is bound to happen. Any new hardware or software fails during at least development let alone post release so it’s not surprising at all these results occurred, considering what they are doing. I’d imagine if this chip functions as it should, the only people that would consider it, currently at least, would be those without any other option and their quality of life is already dismal due to their health issues.
