I thought they’re 20 billion below the expected revenue doesn’t say loss. Is this from another source?

With their revenue stream it should be jail time, not only money penalty

Yeah it all hinges on having a large enough player count. You might not understand what’s happening in lower ranks so you instead focus on playing in Overwatch mode instead :)

My biggest gripe is related, where there’s no control over what type of players you’d be matched with. I like those that communicate with their microphone, but there’s no way to filter for that. Overwatch had lobbies you can create to queue together, and you could put the type of group it is in the description/title

TIL

Depends on how you define wet

Matchmaking should match you with new players. It takes about an hour to get the basics enough to start having fun

Quieter than a car? I thought these make loud buzzing sounds

If restaurants follow suit (seems like Asian restaurants usually go the trch route) you can kindly leave feedback to the owners (if it’s locally owned). They’re people after all

Same, will just read books instead (if nothing on alternative platforms)

Even with the consequences of popularized tracking?

I read somewhere that they’re not planning on selling it with GOS, you’d still need to install it yourself

It won’t come with it

The catch there is that you don’t technically own the domain, instead they do, right?

I’ve used Proton VPN for over 2 years. I also usually get captchad with some websites, the cloudflare ones just ask to click a button, the google ones are annoying, yes.

I almost never have to switch servers, only exception is YouTube (through GrayJay) but servers in Chile worked 99.9% of the time (don’t know why) so I didn’t have to spend too much time on that.

I don’t recall having connection issues, I can even game online with this VPN

Edit: some websites blocked the VPN, I usually either gave up on them or turned off VPN if I had to use them (very few financial institutions)

IMO it’s better in a sense that one may do damage vs one that would not

There is probably a matter of precedence, so potentially other companies may follow

TLDR is basically because of age lockdown young adults can’t access the platform they’re missing out on news and a chance to have their opinions heard.

If I read that right

If they’re obviously recording that’s fine. The other issue is data processing of the footage. If we lived in a world where 99% chance that footage is e2ee (i.e. in the control of the person) then I’m fine with it.

If it’s being automatically processed by e.g. advertising industry without my consent then that sucks.

I’m advocating for making it obvious when someone is and preventing data processing of individuals without their consent (that includes google photos ML/face recognition).

You can design and manufacture many illegal things and yet that’s not common practice because if you get caught you’ll get punished. E.g. you can make bombs at home and yet I don’t see bombs being common outside.

In the scenario where you want to make your own camera you’d need to e.g. have to have a bright red led when it records. Or the camera modules being sold will already have that. That’s it. Hiding one would be get you fined if used. Today you can physically put a recording device in someone’s home, that’s entirely illegal where I live and yet people just don’t do that.

As for knowing you’re always being recorded - unless you’re a method actor or put in the effort you won’t always keep that in mind the entire time you’re outside. But I bet if a TV crew points their camera at you, you’ll behave differently (or at least your awareness will change)

Phones - usually obvious but not obvious enough, so yes I am for making a big red undeniable record indicator. Cameras - they either show footage or take footage, so easier to understand. Security cameras - they usually put up a sign when you’re entering a recorded zone, yeah we should make it obvious.

Pre internet it was not interconnected, having it so easy to connect data gives too much power over people’s lives. That makes the problem worse, but giving you a choice to chopse what you do and say when recorded is crucial in my opinion
