RuneScape is still one of the most popular MMOs out there. Last year it peaked at over 240k people online. It's nowhere near as popular as Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft but it's still doing very well. I think what…

I thought that was always the point. A world without any copyright at all obviously doesn't function.

But I'm not making a comparison. The parent I'm responding to is asserting that kids before Facebook did not have a lack of freedom. I am saying that school is a lack of freedom, therefore his assertion is wrong. This…
How do the lawyers filing these bogus claims not end up in prison? How is it not fraud?
Please don't try to derail the discussion. I'm clearly responding to: >I'm confident kids before Facebook did not somehow have a "lack of freedom". If you have an argument to make then do so.
I believe that too. I think myopia is an adaptation that we acquire by spending too much time in dim lighting. Ie indoors. Daylight outside is an order of magnitude brighter (and will therefore give you more detail to…
Of course they did? What do you think school is? Just because it's useful to society doesn't mean it isn't also a reduction in freedom.

Yeah, it only took 4 years for them to fix an obvious screw up. Only 4 years. Surely every business can survive that.
The funny thing is that when the EU introduced these new VAT rules then it screwed over small and microbusinesses as well. It took them years to implement a minimum threshold for VAT (which every reasonable country has,…

You've seen movies before. You know that they can make fake videos look realistic. We have an entire industry built around it, so why is it only a harm now?

This is my understanding: * Microsoft collects timestamped GDID - IP address combinations at some interval. * Other Service (eg your website) collects timestamped IP address data. Combine the above and you can tell…
But these same services are the reason why my passwords are as short as they are. They made me use 'short passwords' by putting upper limits on them.
Can any of these studies actually show measurable results in something like PISA? Because "studies show" during the replication crisis is not convincing when the effect doesn't seem to show up in actual test scores. You…
My faith in humanity is dropping lower than I thought possible. Do you actually have a reason for why you feel what you feel? Can you give me evidence that doing the things you suggest would actually improve things?…
