  • Roblox continues efforts for child safety by expanding age estimation to all users by end of the year

  • I'm sure the predators have ample disposable income they'd spend on Roblox (/s)

  • That's the depressing part.

  • I'm of the opinion that Luanti =/= Minecraft, and can't provide a similar experience vanilla or modded, but it's still a useful development tool and sandbox for those who understand its capabilities.

  • Honestly at that point the bottleneck would be Windows if he's using that as the operating system, and RAM. I still play modded Java edition to this day, since 2014 :)

  • I would rather kids pirate Minecraft than play Roblox - even if Microsoft is making the Bedrock Edition microtransaction hell, Roblox is exploitative in every layer of platform - developers, players, parents, employees, everyone except the shareholders gets sharked and abused.

  • Oh 100%. But I guess this is sort of a liability thing, Valve saying "Look. We want to sell the porn games and Postal 2 either way. But we'll verify the customers so you wont get heat for 'handling the transactions of minors'."

  • My money's on this being implemented as a compromise/capitulation to the payment processors Valve's feuded with. Visa and MasterCard probably asked for this.

  • Oh hey lembot, I see you're still on iteration 4. When's 5 releasing?

    Anyway, Valve has no interest in the personal data of their users - their ideology has been on providing excellent, transparent service through their store platform, not aggregating and selling user data to the highest bidder.

    This change was likely implemented as a compromise with payment processors - the fact that the verification is through a credit card transaction is quite telling.

  • Yes, but this is textbook "preaching to the choir" here. Are your positions and comments valid on the situation? Yes, but we have to consider our current reality here - Discord has NOT had its "Reddit API" or "X.com" moment yet for the majority of the userbase. Until that time comes, we will not have enough of a platform migration to sustain the open alternative.

    Is Discord a fundamentally flawed platform? Yes. Have they used their defacto VOIP/message board platform monopoly maliciously? Yes. However, not enough users are alarmed, and not enough annoyances have built up for the day to day experience for people to get out of their comfort zone and migrate.

    So explain your values all you wish. I understand and agree. But the majority of those users who would like to contribute and provide feedback to the project are not informed or are willing to switch. You're definitely not going to reach them on the Fediverse.

  • That could actually be a reasonable view, considering Windows has fallen off since the late 90's or early 00's, depending on what version you draw the line on.

  • ...or it's the networking effect of having a well-known easily accessible platform?

    Usually for greater shifts to a new community/platform to occur, the original userbase/platform has to have an experience so unusable/egregious to the average user for them to switch. Lemmy/the Fediverse, for example, had a critical mass of users join after two incidents of self destruction by incumbents - Reddit's API changes, and Twitter after Musk's acquisition.

    Discord hasn't done this yet, and until the management performs an action that would lead to a mass migration (which could occur in the near future now that the company is publicly traded), the users that this developer needs for feedback and support are on discord. That is the primary reason so many projects are on discord. People don't hate forums - they're just on the platform that they're familiar with, filled with their friends and community members.

  • ...It's where the humans are, dude. I guess a gitlab or github would be better, but the users are on discord for conversations.

  • 1: It's being phased out by google, to be replaced with Android.

    2: ChromeOS, unless being dualbooted with another, more full-fledged operating system, is little more than a web interface.

  • Blue beret item references the VDV, airborne russian troops, in the description. Also one of the armbands has the russian flag on it.

    Although because the game is shown through the lens of PMCs (you're not fighting as or against Russian/UN/NATO troops), most of the russian military references are minimal (unless you count the descriptions of weapons detailing their design/usage histories).
