Apparently people can't do math and give in to stupid ideas like Roblox has a child exploitation problem based on raw numbers.
Even people advocating against this stupidity. GamersNexus stated that Roblox has a problem and stated there are 13,000 sexual incidents on the platform a year. Without context this sounds like a problem, but it's not. There are 1.4 billion users on the platform! That is 0.000000867% risk factor. Your kid is far more likely to be hit by a car: 0.0001% and it is about as likely that they'll be struck by lightning. If you can't do math that amounts to a near ZERO percent chance your kid will encounter a predator.
Based on this logic every kid should be locked in a padded room and only released once they turn "adult" (?28? maybe... brain isn't "fully developed" until then). Yes, this is stupid, but these advocates of this kind of shit are the real threat and the real extremists. They think even one incident is far too many as if there is some magical way to stop all threats if only we pass another dumb law (that often only endangers children, or worse everyone). They advocate based on fear and rely on stupid people (those in 'society') not being able to think for themselves.
It's long past time we started advocating to re-introduce 'danger' into the lives of 'children'.
In the 80s getting cut up- falling off a bike- or dealing with a bully was said to 'build character'. I certainly wouldn't go quite that far, but there is some element of the mentality that you need to let kids live and learn and experience the world for themself that makes sense. It's how we learn and grow as humans. Not doing it leads to bad decisions, bigger more prolific problems; loss of life savings to Nigerian princes.
Policing misinformation is DARVO for institutions
The medical establishment will continue to lose patients and trust to shameless frauds and grifters until access improves. The best thing the healthcare institutions could do to actually protect patients and defund health misinformation would be to work on bottlenecks to care.
The e-celeb shilling fake cancer cures isn't competing with the best of the system, they're competing with what the plebs actually have to work with. When the GP gates testing behind "maybe it's just stress" the supplement salesman offers many different options to try.
But I'm sure policing niche health topics on the Internet is all that's needed to solve everything. It's definitely the alt-health blogs that people barely read moving the needle and not people's actual experiences with the system.
More entertaining nonsense from the copyright cartel world:
"'Such conduct, coupled with the use of domain names incorporating the expression 'IMDb', prima facie reflects dishonest adoption intended to exploit the goodwill and recognition associated with IMDb and to induce users into accessing infringing streams under the guise of legitimacy,' the order adds."
When was the last time IMDb had "goodwill"? Maybe in the early 90s when they were claiming to be some sort of non-profit or user-driven organization rather than a corporation out to exploit it's users contributions???
They certainly don't have "goodwill" here. They switched over to a .com from a .org and later shutdown public access to their database. Now you have to go through imdb.com and even pay for a subscription to access some functionality.
I'm not against companies making money- hell- I am the founder and CEO of one, but this isn't the way you generate "goodwill". This is how you put off users. They stop just shy of people fleeing ... not to mention Google and other search engines prioritize them over everyone else because they had the benefit of millions of contributions before anyone else of which no one today can pull off due to their dominance and the direction of traffic by search engines to IMDB over everyone else.
Well it turns out that even the Debian team is having trouble with SFML3, due to the breaks in compatibility, which is why 2 is still on their repositories.

Yeah. I'm not touching SFML ever again. At least SDL allows you to download previous versions and the current version on most Linux repros.
