This is pcgaming not investing. The aspects you are talking about don’t matter to pc gamers who are only trying to get whatever parts they can for a bargain as opposed to concerns about return on investment.

Celebrities they worship are still on there so another reason they refuse to leave.

Because people see that this isn’t about protecting kids, but about wanting to start requiring IDs for every aspect of the Internet that didn’t used to have it. So it doesn’t just stop at Roblox but getting to the point where even signing up on Lemmy might have ID requirements depending on the country.

The answer is better parental controls to lock down accounts and even get alerts and logs of what their kids are doing rather than this attempt to get IDs. Provide better easy to use parental tools. Not to mention, these verification companies have had links to places like Palantir.

The for the children argument is one to be skeptical of when it goes hand in hand with less privacy. I’d expect more awareness of this from people on lemmy than those on reddit.

Gunpla and reading are really nice ways to pass the time.

It depends on material too. Algorithm makes recommendations based on similar video, and something like Star Wars for instance has a lot of angry conservatives ranting about it so can skew towards youtube recommendations including them in Star Wars content.

On the other hand searching Expanse is less likely to see those conservative rant channels, since not as much content like that is made for it.

So even though Expanse and Star Wars are scifi, viewing and searching both of them will have different levels of right wing centered media you are likely to be recommended.

And depending on topic of interest the ideology of the most popular channels which youtube promotes also dictates what you’ll be recommended even if you don’t watch the channel. Like if you search PC stuff LTT will always dominate the first few pages of search results.

Yeah, I like OS installed on separate drives and selecting the one I want to boot off of in BIOS. Gets trickier on laptop though that doesn’t have multiple drives.

Few powerful people deciding everything and millions falling in line and the few outliers being affected even if they opt out due to decisions of millions of others who support the few powerful sums up the world.

It sucks the entire world turning into a privacy nightmare. Will any country remain the lone hold out against pushing stuff like this on their people?
