Lol bruh, have some self reflection. People do it because it’s easier. If you have the time to have all the hobbies that other people have and to roll your own home servers that’s great, but that means you have an above average amount of free time. Otherwise, other people have hobbies that don’t include server OS updates and choose to spend their time there and pay for someone else to manage their servers.

The joke still works fine, just replace PS2 with PS5 in your head.

Everyone having a FaceTime call does this. Every dash cam does this. Every Ring doorbell and self driving car does this. You can do this with a $10 usb pinhole webcam and an android phone or raspberry Pi.

The problem here is with facial recognition databases, not with people using cameras in public.

PimEyes does not use photos from Facebook or other social media.

PimEyes doesn’t use images or data from Facebook or other social media.

It’s a click bait article that’s been regurgitating through the less informed part of the tech news world because it has Meta in its title and it sounds scary.

Actually good articles covering it would point out that the flaw is entirely a legislative one, where America and a large chunk of the world simply have zero privacy rights or protections.

Dumb, click bait article.

This is about PimEyes, and databases that hoard facial recognition data, not Meta or Rayban or smart glasses.

This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.

The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it’s legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.

Honestly, did anyone take anything at all away from this article?

I’m jacked up about Avowed, and Obsidian remains one of the best studios in existence right now, but it really felt like this article said absolutely nothing of substance. Basically just, “we’re trying to make a well paced game with complex narrative choice”, and it’s like yeah, you’re Obsidian, that’s what you do and have always done.

Did it say Fallout 76 at the time you read it? It looks like they corrected that to New Vegas by now.

Shut the fuck up dumb Russian. Being discriminatory towards a single country is neither anti-slav, nor xenophobic, it’s just anti-Russian.

Go get blown up by a mine in kursk to build Putin another palace, you dumb fucking Russian.

Hurrr durrr people are discriminating against me just because I started the first land war in Europe for no reason.

Jesus Christ, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Russia’s best minds have either left or been been shreded by FPV drones.

Nope. It’s a factual statement since Russia invaded Europe, raped and murdered its citizens en masse, and chose to remove itself from the world order, Europe, and being a nation deserving of anything other than disgust and distain.

Russians would “think” that all Slavs are Russian.

To directly quote Linus:

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.

Posting messages that make progressive people apathetic about the state of the electoral system right before an election, is literally equivalent to actively campaigning for the less progressive option. It is straight up an anti-democratic tactic frequently used by Republicans to lower democratic voter turnout.

Dude I am European, and definitely not Republican,

Russia is not part of Europe, so if you’re actually from Europe, learn to stay in your lane and not try to influence a foreign election, if you are Russian, go fuck yourself and stop trying to influence a foreign election.

Shut the fuck up with this Republican trash.

I’ve never been in, nor contemplated the possible existence of, a situation where picking the less bad option was infinitely better than picking the most bad option.

Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up.
