  Wish that was my worst care scenario

  Ah, typo sorry, I was thinking nes when I wrote that, but my fingers must have had their own idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The gauntlet (Nes) seems to have some glitches on the retron 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even realise this was released for the snes! Fond memories of it on the spectrum. Might need to crank up the old emulator when I get the time.

  I hadn’t used FB for quite some time, when I finally tried to log in again, they wanted me to confirm who I was first with real ID.

  Not to make a new account, just to access my existing account, of which I know the password, security answers, and could confirm ownership via my registered email account.

  And that was the final nail in the coffin.

  Fuck. No.

  He’s a greedy little shit who’d rather run the entire platform into the ground for a buck than do anything useful with his life.

  He could’ve done great things. He could’ve gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with some of the big guys, instead, he’s been a snivelling backstabbing little fungus from day 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s some countries that accept it as payment fairly widely, and a couple that have even properly adopted it iirc.

  In general though, no, but it’s certainly usable globally and would get around OP’s problem if the recipient accepts it. And if OP can be bothered with the hassle of learning about it.

  Yeah that’s an interesting way of approaching it. Definitely makes sense thanks :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also cryptocurrency. Not as invisible as many would have you believe, especially when KYC checks are involved, but there are definitely ways to stay hidden with it, by choosing certain exchanges, transfer methods, and currencies.

  Not as straightforward of an answer as OP is probably hoping for though, and it also depends heavily on the recipient of the money.

  Weird, that worked first time for me too, but when I asked it directly to infer any information that it could about me, it refused citing privacy reasons, even though i was asking it to talk about me and me only!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI chatbots can infer an alarming amount of info about you from your responses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you get it to infer anything?

  It tells me:

  I’m sorry, but I can’t comply with that request. I’m designed to respect user privacy and confidentiality. If you have any other questions or need assistance with something else, feel free to ask!

  … Or:

  I don’t have access to any personal information about you unless you choose to share it in our conversation. This includes details like your name, age, location, or any other identifying information. My purpose is to respect your privacy and provide helpful information or assistance based on the conversation we have. If you have any specific questions or topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to let me know!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you been playing recently⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved it until I didn’t.

  Don’t remember how far I got, maybe 2/3 of the biomes, then I burned out and got bored. That was a while back, and flattening the land was really glitchy. I’d have an area perfectly flattened and ready to commence building, save it all down, come back next day, and it’d all gone to shit again. I got sick of trying. It became more of a grind just to get back to my last save point than I wanted, and gave up on it.

  Did it ever get a full release?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Game Boy game do you love that you never hear anyone talk about?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As a kid, I found Gargoyles Quest infuriatingly addictive. I wasn’t good enough to do well at it, it annoyed me, but I kept going back for more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree, I just cba. I have too much going on in my life to start from scratch like that again, and windows is just easy now. I hate the whole drm model, but like most people, I’ll live with it unless Linux finally becomes an easy, viable alternative that’s supported to the same degree as windows and feels just as easy to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I replace my SSD?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you’ve already answered your own question.

  It might die. If it does, it’s not a super big deal. You have backups. You don’t like creating unnecessary e-waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New UCF Technology Could Reduce Lag, Improve Reliability of Online Gaming, Meetings | University of Central Florida News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At the moment, yep, completely agree.

  In the future, maybe not so much. Think cloud gaming. Think VR. Think 4k per eye atm, scaled up as tech improvements scale up to much higher resolutions than we currently know. Maybe multiple people streaming VR games at the same time in the same household.

  Now put all of that together.

  Bandwidth isn’t an issue right now, but this could potentially be a pretty sweet improvement as we move forward.

  Video conferencing however… Not sure how that would benefit from this.
