  • Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto

    Jump

  • A bigger problem than a technical alternative is convincing all of your friends to switch.

    There are multiple other programs that fill a similar niche, but I don't know I'll be able to get everyone I know to change over.

    I definitely will discontinue using Discord if they deploy this surveillance state bullshit, but a little bit sad over the number of gaming buddies I'll lose contact with in the process.

  • 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error'

  • The idea that they've already deployed this in production is absolutely insane.

  • Sony develops technology to trace origin of AI-made music

  • And that selfish son of a bitch even died before I could pirate his work.

  • Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession

    Jump

  • There's a fantastic movie called Kind Hearts and Coronets from the 1940s. A guy discovers he's tenth in line to be a duke, but his mother was disowned by her family for marrying a commoner.

    Naturally, he decides to kill his relatives to avenge mom and grab the dukedom. Oh, and all nine of his relatives, male and female, are played by Alec Guinness.

  • Facebook is absolutely cooked

    Jump

  • Are big businesses still advertising on Facebook? I'd heard that they were running ads for full-on scams, presumably because few real people are left on the platform and it's no longer attractive to most advertisers.

  • Man who left girlfriend to die on top of mountain once abandoned another woman up there, court is told

    Jump

  • How else to appease the eldritch spirit therein?

  • Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC

    Jump

  • Yep, and Colbert has no reason to pull any punches either. They already canceled his show to appease the administration. Why would Stephen hesitate to tell the world every time CBS bends the knee?

    Good on him for calling out every time they act as state propaganda and not a news network.

  • All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat

    Jump

  • The people in power are the same ones who created DOGE. It's like Epstein - not like they're going to investigate themselves.

  • Palestinian social app Upscrolled removed from Google Play Store

    Jump

  • A lot of companies seem to automatically delist things that get mass reported, which makes them subject to interference by armies of paid or unpaid trolls. Hopefully the issue gets corrected but this seems to happen more and more frequently.

  • Discord walks back age verification fears for most users

    Jump

  • What do you have against the British overseas territory of Anguilla? Ultra-specific geographical prejudice.

  • Why Haven’t Quantum Computers Factored 21 Yet?

    Jump

  • There's a good 3blue1brown video that walks through the actual math they can perform, which does a lot to temper expectations about what they can accomplish and how much of an improvement they would be over digital computers for certain types of problems.

    Here's the YouTube link, or search for "But What Is Quantum Computing? (Grover's Algorithm)" on your preferred front-end: https://youtu.be/RQWpF2Gb-gU

  • Putin thinks he can outsmart the US during Ukraine peace talks, a European intelligence chief says

  • An orange cat could outsmart this orange president.

  • ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses

    Jump

  • Every other genus: "We don't want her either."

  • Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models

  • New Fable game removes feature core to franchise's DNA

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree, and that's what I was trying to get at with the last point. I think morality systems in the sense of a binary choice with a scorecard is exactly why those systems are unsatisfying. Real choices have complex consequences and games are more immersive when they show that versus when everything boils down to a simple "good" or "bad."

    The games that do moral choices well do still give you feedback - alternate endings or lasting changes in the world - but it's not as simple as one number or slider showing a morality spectrum.

  • New Fable game removes feature core to franchise's DNA

    Jump

  • I'd put Witcher 3 and The Alters on the list. Both of them give you choices where it's not really clear which is the "good" or "bad" one. And if you play through both, you find that neither is one-sided - everything has pros and cons, and even if you judged one option to be morally better in the moment, you still have to live with the negative as well as the positive consequences of your actions.

    Maybe you could argue that those aren't traditional morality systems, but for me, that's why they work.

  • Timberborn - 1.0 release date and lore trailer

    Jump

  • Once all your waterworks are automated is when the sandbox portion of the game begins. They've added so many features, and in particular aquaducts and overhangs, that you can really go wild with designing your Beavertopia.
