Not directly related to what he's saying, but PeopleMakeGames just released an episode about the current state of war gaming and it's dual, seemingly conflicting function as fun games for individuals, and as a repopularized tool of actual war for modern governments.

In short - a lot.
Most phones have an emergency lockdown that will require a passcode, fwiw.
It's funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.
Love to see it!
As unfortunate as this is, afaik, polar bears are one of the most aggressive animals around, intent on eating pretty much anything that moves. I don't doubt that it did pose a threat.
I don't get it either. I know a lot of lemmy users have an axe to grind with reddit, but treating every temporary outage like it's dead forever is just bizarre.
"Expedite", as if the company doesn't have direct control of it's own systems. What a load of bull.
Instagram has it's fair share of blame for the trend, but I don't think they were the progenitor, as it were. Snapchat was far more heavy-handed with face altering filters from the get-go, as I remember it. Instagram was mostly just the "old-school" sepia tone, black-and-white type filters for the most part until that picked up.
Evolution being slow is a good thing. Trying to shortcut it would just be a more direct way to destroy the species. Also a great example of the kind of thing I'm referring to.
Yeah, I've wondered if it's something like that. Seems like a fairly easy trap to fall into, but hard to say for sure with only our singular reference point.

Legendary Artifact (M)

2/2
Sinuous Benthisaur {5}{U}
Creature — Dinosaur (U)
