Lmao…if you don’t see how going “Hey it’s not actually a crime!” sounds like defending them, I can’t help you.

And “internet tough guy”? Where is that even coming from? Lol

I also think the issue was with your comment. It could’ve been written a bit more clearly

Are you defending the people who used the AI bots as described?

instead of knowing someone in the neighborhood is researching how to get away with murder.

…how would I know that?

A device i am not actively using doesn’t need to be running while I sleep or produce network traffic.

How often do you produce network traffic?

I agree on the point of security theatre. I think the tracking stuff provides more actual useful information, but I also imagine it’s more for reactionary investigations rather than pre-emptive protections.

I could be wrong, though.

Haha, thank you for the explanation. Yeah, I’d heard of the clip, but never heard of that usage of coconuts.

I’m also probably older than the average memer, lol

I’d call it both. Hassling people for taking sunscreen or water onboard is probably mostly theatre. All of the tracking and scanning is probably what they actually use to find any naughty people.

I thought they were mostly bots and alts

Not if it means white men can go wherever they want!

I’m not really getting it even after reading that page, but thank you lol

I guess we need to allow everyone to use any washroom because we need a good man in the women’s washroom to be around to save the women from a bad man in the women’s washroom

typical coconut

…? Brown on the outside, white on the inside? Like a white-washed Indian person?

Makes sense to you. To me, it seems like they want a monopoly.

They aren’t just beating the competition by being better.

They’re beating the competition because they don’t allow developers to sell games cheaper than on Steam if they want to sell on Steam. And they have the market share to be able to make it financial suicide for a developer/publisher to not put their game on Steam.

“You can sell your game anywhere as long as it’s cheapest here” smells a lot like a monopoly.

Is the point not that they have a near monopoly in the modern PC gaming space?

It’s virtually a requirement for developers who release games on PC to release their game on Steam. From what I recall, developers must also follow requirements set out by Valve regarding what they are allowed to price their game on other platforms.

I love buying Nintendo games for my PC

It’s a lot easier to access ChatGPT than it is to access a flying car

I’m skeptical whether it was really a bug or not, but I could definitely see how it could’ve been just a bug given the description in the OP. Could’ve also been a “happy accident” they were hoping nobody would complain about.

I can see that. But that doesn’t help identify sharing! Haha
