All auto manufacturers put spyware in their cars now. This isn’t a china problem, this is an everyone problem. We need anti-spyware laws that apply to everyone.
- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 5 days ago:
They could sell the studio without the IPs, bring in some revenue, but it’s worth more to kill the studio than let it exist to compete.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 5 days ago:
EA already did this. Many games had real ads on billboards in the world. Need for speed underground 2 was sponsored by cingular wireless. Your ingame pager was product placement and the company’s logo was on screen whenever you were doing free roam.
This is very EA with historical precident.

The US subsidizes american car companies too. Pot calling the kettle and all.
- Comment on As Israel Begins “Final Phase” of Genocide, Biden Slams Pro-Palestine Protests 1 week ago:
ur dumb
a vote for a third party is a vote for a third party. They count the votes for the person who you voted for. That’s literally how voting works. Read a book.
- Comment on As Israel Begins “Final Phase” of Genocide, Biden Slams Pro-Palestine Protests 1 week ago:
Yes! I have voted third party and intend on continuing.
- Comment on As Israel Begins “Final Phase” of Genocide, Biden Slams Pro-Palestine Protests 1 week ago:
Banning young people’s favorite app and then doubling down on the genocide is not the sort of strategy that wins elections.

So wonderful that Joseph Allen is here to tell us what women think. This is the kind of investigative journalism the world needs more of!
- Comment on Microsoft Closes Redfall Developer Arkane Austin, Hi-Fi Rush Developer Tango Gameworks, and More in Devastating Cuts at Bethesda 1 week ago:
Arcane austin was already killed by the development of redfall. Most of the talent responsible for making dishonered and prey the games they were left during development of redfall. If arcane austin went back to making immersive sims instead of closing, it would be a new team making it, with little help from the pedegree implied by arcane’s legacy.
Keep in mind however that arcane was two studios, the main studio in lyon france, and the other in austin texas. Dishonered was developed jointly. Dishonored 2 was lyon, pray was austin, and deathloop was lyon.
The lyon studio still exists. They are continuing to make games. The only thing announced from arcane is the marvel’s blade game. Not optimistic, but arcane may still be around a while yet.

Oxenfree is an adventure game that takes place on an island off the coast of northern Oregon. Good little game that tells its story in about 5 hours.
- Comment on China unveils video of its moon base plans, which weirdly includes a NASA space shuttle 2 weeks ago:
The rendering looks way too 90’s to be made my modern AI image generation. Why would anyone ask midjourney to generate images that look like they were made in Bryce, when they could have it make anything else?
- Comment on China unveils video of its moon base plans, which weirdly includes a NASA space shuttle 2 weeks ago:
CG artists use available assets to finish project on time, within budget. Don’t trust any computer generated speculative graphics to be accurate in any way. Some artists are just filing in the blanks to get the thing done.

We should instead be using AI to decimate the CEO industry.

Google knew youtube shorts didn’t stand a chance in a fair market.

This the goal of this bill.

And facebook tells its users to vote. Encouraging people to make their voices heard and engage in the democratic process is a good thing.
- Comment on What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet 3 weeks ago:
This is nothing to do with national security.
- Comment on What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet 3 weeks ago:
If manipulating content were the issue they would have introduced a bill banning that practice. Banning a few specific countries from operating does not prevent sites from manipulating content.
- Comment on He's the full text of the “PROTECTING AMERICANS’ DATA FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ACT OF 2024” currently in in the resolving difference phase before the POTUS signs it. 3 weeks ago:
If the text of this law said that the app “Tiktok” and company “ByteDance” cannot operate in the US, it would be trivial create a new company called, “BitSamba” which operates the “Tuktuk” app, and this specific law would not apply to them.
That is why the bill uses the term “entity that is controlled by a foreign adversary.” Try reading at least one more bill, or any municipal code, then you might start to understand. This is how laws are written. Lawyers are very good at finding loopholes, which is why laws are specifically written defensively to avoid unintended loopholes.
The language of this bill will apply to tiktok. Tiktok is the most notable app that will be effected by it. Which is why everyone who knows what they’re talking about has been calling this the bill that bans tiktok because that is what it does.
- Comment on He's the full text of the “PROTECTING AMERICANS’ DATA FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ACT OF 2024” currently in in the resolving difference phase before the POTUS signs it. 3 weeks ago:
If the bill identified tiktok and byte dance by name they would just rename the app and company to avoid the regulation.
The fact that this law identifies byte dance in the overly verbose and broad language typical of how laws are written does not change the intent.
It sounds like this is your first time reading the full text of a bill, and you are drawing uninformed conclusions.

The bill literally mentioned tiktok and bytedance on the first page when first introduced. They wrote the bill to ban tiktok.
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 4 weeks ago:
The international fixed calendar is basically what’s described here. But it adds one day to bring it to 365, that day is called year day, and its an extra day, not a day of the week just a bonus day. Leap years get a second extra day 6 months later.

- Comment on Tennessee becomes the first state to protect musicians and other artists against AI 1 month ago:
Because authors and editors don’t trust their readers to know how quotes work so they add (sic) so you don’t blame them for the typos or faulty logic in the quote.
Tennessee is a state and capitals are cities. So the author added (sic). I despise this practice.
- Comment on Tennessee becomes the first state to protect musicians and other artists against AI 1 month ago:
How does this work in terms of jurisdiction? Seems pretty easy to make unauthorized AI songs in other states.
- Comment on House passes bill to prevent the sale of personal data to foreign adversaries 1 month ago:
Because that would be effective.
The house doesn’t care about americans or effective governance. Domestic adversaries are of far more consequence to americans.
