  • What would you expect to see in a 'real' universe?

  • Rule

    Jump
  • This totally used to be a thing on Android but then they removed it 😔

  • Honestly even that is for beginner teams, frankly. If there's good shared understanding, clear work, and good interaction regularly within the team (ie you're actually working together towards a goal), just hurry up and tell everyone what you need, and get out. Fight the sludge.

  • It's the image equivalent of a perfectly cut scream.

  • In the UK this is really normal, we do it because it's normal in many circles, and to mess with people for whom it's not normal 😅

  • Yeah I mean can you imagine working on a big contender for the game of the decade, and being kicked out at the final hurdle?

  • I understand that feeling and a lot of people shared it, but I was someone that loved it regardless despite generally being a controller gamer as well.

    I think to get a good experience you had to be very willing to play with the settings a lot. Not unlike the Deck now, but the software wasn't as accessible and the users not as accustomed to it. Of course it would never feel the same no matter what, but it was definitely responsive!

  • Hollow Knight. Didn't click for me. Don't think I really like Metroidvania games generally, it just often plays out as lazy game design to me.

  • And yet, you also judge my understanding of word definitions to be insufficient. See the difference? It's like there's two axes in play, good or bad, and correct and incorrect.

  • To me, in this context, these two statements aren't opposing each other as I think the word judge can have some nuance to it. For example I could say I found your original comment overly aggressive, but I don't judge you for it. By which I would mean that I have an opinion about your actions, but I'm not assigning you a moral value on that basis.

  • Couldn't agree more. Obviously this system is unimplemented and could be abused, but if they wanted to scan your ID at every opportunity they could've already given themselves power to do so with other valid forms of ID.

  • I think there are some genuine benefits to be had (though reducing illegal immigration is obviously not one of them). I do think there's potential for a much simpler ID system. One that includes people that don't drive, and doesn't include giving your address to a stranger via your driver's license.

    I have had issues with using cards in poor network areas, yes. It seems totally improbable to me that this system ends up using an exclusively online process for sharing ID.

    Sure there's potential that this will result in a mass surveillance system, and I obviously don't want that, but I guess it doesn't feel particularly novel. If you're paying by card you're logging all your payments anyway. The question on my mind is where you currently see government overreach with exising IDs? Why would a new form of ID guarantee any of that changing?

    On your last question, I genuinely do hate handing over either of the existing IDs, as they do carry more information than the receiver generally needs.

  • I appreciate a lot will come down to the implementation, but I haven't understood the proposal to at all guarantee that checking the ID will require some online check. This is meant to be a ubiquitous ID that we can use anywhere. Would businesses really accept having to use an ID that might not work if there's a spotty data connection?

    My read of it is that it's intended, in most cases, to work like a railcard or digital bus pass does currently in the UK. Not unlike showing someone your driver's licence, only the image of it on your phone is guaranteed to be valid rather than needing a specific physical card.

  • I wish we had more protection in the UK. Technically the law allows filming public property as long as it is not the direct focus, eg you film your front door and catch some of the street. But it's not policed at all. Living on a terraced main road I cant leave my house without being filmed by at least 5 different neighbour's cameras from a range of different American or Chinese companies. One camera literally just points towards a window of my own home. It's insane, I feel like they're all just standing outside watching me.

    Technically, I have the right to ask to see the footage they record and ask for adjustments to angles etc, but it's left to individuals to do. I'd have to have an awkward individual conversation with a bunch of strangers (sad but true) about something I doubt they even consider an issue.

    I'd love to see some legislation that would require some publically accessible way to review what's in camera for doorbell cams, but I guess that would just be seen as helping criminals.

  • Yeah I focused on this, too. Verbally I feel like he carefully dances a line here. It's not clear in this context why exactly he was saying this. At the same time that shit eating grin as he says it seems to show a darker side, along with other examples or him generally being a shit.

  • Some other great British dishes:

    • Tikka Masala
    • Shepherd's/Cottage Pie
    • Sticky Toffee Pudding
    • Cornish Pasty
    • Crumpets
    • CUSTARD
  • Oof yeah okay. If another human being had given this advice it would absolutely be a criminal act in most countries. I'm honestly shocked at how personable it tries to be.

  • Can you share anything here please? I'm no fan of OpenAI but I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think ChatGPT was particularly relevant to this poor teen's actions.

  • I think OP knows this. It's an unsolvable problem. The conclusion from that might be that this tech shouldn't be 2 clicks away from every teen, or even person's, hand.
