@xianc78 @apropos I was trying to remember what that was lol, yeah that wouldn't be too bad of an idea if we have to go that route.

Why do all of the AI assistant voices have to be so cheery? Give me one that just sounds like a regular person talking.

new megadeth album is pretty damn good. mustaine is a legend, man.

@sun @pwm my game's not foss but you should just throw it on there anyway

something great i can say about reze arc is that it introduced a new generation to the beautiful voice that is utada hikaru.

@sun it's not about the music, it's about what they can market to earn the largest amount of money.

@aral @element sounds like a pretty good endorsement if you ask me

hey, i might have really unpopular opinions sometimes that you guys think are fucking retarded, but at least that's how you know i'm a real person!

allegedly...

@LukeAlmighty >Well, but I cannot condemn an entire youth to damnation only because some parents are lazy.

The thing is that, by doing nothing, you are condemning an entire youth to being groomed, trooned, and otherwise exploited because some parents are lazy. It's kind of crazy how many parents will just give an 8 year old a smartphone without any parental controls or oversight whatsoever. Let alone teaching them about anything they might find there. At least when we were kids we got some basic internet safety and didn't have the internet in our pocket. The family computer was always right where everyone could see. Kids don't really get that these days.

>kids cannot drink and have next to no exposible income, so what good awaits them, when they cannot talk to their peers either?

That's why I was thinking something like a social media platform for kids only would be good. They could still talk to their peers online that way. Other than that though, I mean I think back to when I was a kid and we would just fuckin talk to each other irl or through private messengers/emails (later, texting). You trade online information with people in real life instead of finding total randos on the internet, so you know who they are and everything.

>Finally finding a good community most likely saved my life.

That's good, I'm glad that worked out for you. Let's not forget my earlier point though, too. Kids will seriously join Twitter and get involved in some weird self harm and pedo shit and get groomed into trooning out. Shit, I've seen it on fedi every once in a blue moon sadly.

I think something we can agree on is that "communities" are absolute dog shit these days. ESPECIALLY the ones that are more child-focused. I mean, look at the absolute shitstorm the Smash 4 community went through several years ago where tons of people were either diddling kids, getting diddled by kids, or doing other weird shit like showing kids hentai at private parties. Then there's the Minecraft community which is so bad that being called a "Minecraft YouTuber" is synonymous with being called a pedophile. Let's not even get started with Roblox.

Yeah, I absolutely do not want any kids to be exposed to any of that just because their parents are retarded.

@apropos @xianc78 i wonder what the feasibility would be of something like, you put your driver's license ID number in to a website and it sends a signal to some government service to check the DoB on the card correlating to that number. it can then send a signal back to verify that the person is above 18, or 21, or whatever.

i would say you could just verify with credit cards, since you need to be 18 to get one, but that FURTHER incentivizes credit which i don't think is necessarily a good thing. i think the wrong people would benefit from that kind of requirement.

@LukeAlmighty oh man caffeinated capri sun would go so hard

this is unhinged
