  Just like how nutrition labels solved obesity? And carbon footprints solved climate change? Individual choice and responsibility aren’t good solutions to systemic problems. They’re usually championed by businesses to avoid responsibility.

  It’s a real problem. I’ve seen forum posts calling for the extermination of minorities.

  You’re apparently unfamiliar with the concept of the open letter or writing to a specific person instead of just spewing garbage out a general agency. It’s not uncommon.

  The Hinduism excuse really doesn’t fly most of the time, especially when we’re talking about hate speech. It’s pedantic and weaselly and does not pass the smell test.

  Unsafe could mean, for an examples I have seen on steam forums, that minorities get harassed or told they should be exterminated. Just like Nazis should be scared to be in public IRL, they shouldn’t have safe spaces online either.

  I know by your language you already have your mind made up and probably have a real strong opinion on ethics in gaming journalism, but extremism is a real problem.

  I don’t really want to engage with people like you, so I won’t be responding further, but I didn’t really want to leave your bs unchallenged.

  Is this because the FTC does fuck all to curb them so people know it’s useless?

  The ‘5D’ in the name comes from the fact that, unlike 2D markings on a piece of paper or tape, this method uses two optical dimensions and three spatial coordinates to write throughout the material.

  Went to the article seeking answers but got only more questions.

  In what resolution? Lossy or lossless compression?

  Systemic problem? Sounds like a job for individual solution! /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “We will no longer support this even though me promised ten more years. Here’s a $10 credit to your account, which is more than we have to do because of our TOS, and it’s more than you should expect because of the binding arbitration clause.”

  Making them say how long something will be supported means nothing without controls on TOSes. It’s just a way to push the responsibility onto consumers.

  Forcing companies to make things work even without on Internet connection seems like a good step, though implications for DRM and video games are interesting.

  It’ll just have a string of complaints from citizens about the fine not being implemented while in sits there for years.
