  • A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox | Roblox

    Jump

  • Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.

  • It’s funny how often things stay the same in information technology just due to inertia. Yet the overall pace of change has been relentless.

  • Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

    Jump

  • It does, but not in the sense that it “repairs” them or whatever. There are plenty of natural fibers and styles of clothing that would be a wrinkled mess eventually if they were not ironed.

    You may be use to synthetic fabrics or blends of synthetic and cotton that don’t wrinkle in the same way. And by synthetic, I mean petroleum based fabrics.

  • Discord Alternatives, Ranked

    Jump

  • Wow, so signal ranks second worst in “safety” with a 2. While discord has a 4.

    So it’s worse than discord at dealing with unwanted CSAM uploads? What a wild ranking system this guy has.

  • How many of these have moderation issues? Like, unwanted content uploads and stuff. How many expose you to accidentally hosting illicit content?
